Research review (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper reviews the battery electrolyte technologies involving Huckel-type salts as a major electrolyte component. The concept was initially proposed by M. Armand in 1995 and then explored by several research groups. In the present review studies on the optimization of the electrolyte composition starting from molecular modeling through enhancing the yield of the salt synthesis to structural characterization and electrochemical performance are described. Furthermore, the use of the optimized electrolytes in a variety of lithium-ion and post-lithium batteries is presented and discussed. Finally, the commercialization of the up to date technology by Arkema is discussed as well as the performance of the present Huckel anion based electrolytes as compared to other marketed electrolyte technologies.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This report focuses on the relatively new salt, lithium 4,5-dicyano-2-(trifluoromethyl)imidazolide (LiTDI), and its functionality together with a silicon based composite electrode in a half-cell lithium ion battery context. LiTDI is a promising alternative to the commonly used LiPF6 salt because it does not form HF which can decompose the oxide layer on Si. The formation of a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) as well as the development of the active Si-particles are investigated during the first electrochemical lithiation and de-lithiation. Characterizations are carried out at different state of charge with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) as well as hard x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES) at two different photon energies. This enables a depth resolved picture of the reaction processes and gives an idea of the chemical buildup of the SEI. The SEI is formed by solvent and LiTDI decomposition products and its composition is similar to SEI formed by other carbonate based electrolytes. The LiTDI salt or its decomposition products are not in itself reactive towards the active Si-material and no unwanted side reactions occurs with the active Si-particles. Despite some decomposition of the LiTDI salt, it is a promising alternative for electrolytes aimed towards Si-based electrodes.

Compatibility of microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition manufactured Si/C electrodes with new LiTDI-based electrolytes
- 2016

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A synthesis of new types of Si/C composite anodes for lithium -ion batteries is reported. Thin layers of graphitic carbon decorated in 3D with Si nanoparticles were produced from liquid organic precursors-1-phenyl-2trimethylsilylacetylene and triethoxy(octyl)silane, using a one-step microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) method. Thin-film Si/C electrodes were electrochemically tested in lithium half cells and produced a good reversible capacity of up to 900 mAh g-1 (after 100 cycles) and -370 mAh g(-1), depending on the precursor type. The electrode easily endured 100 cycles at 1C rate with only a 10% loss in capacity.
