Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have been explored extensively for high-capacity electric-power storage, but their practical application has been prevented by severe issues stemming from the use of a lithium anode and an organic-liquid electrolyte in which LiS intermediates of the cell discharge reaction are soluble and shuttle to the anode. Both problems are addressed using bis(4-nitrophenyl) carbonate as an additive in the organic-liquid electrolyte. The soluble LiS polysulfides react with the additive to create insoluble polysulfides with a lithium byproduct; this byproduct reacts with the Li-metal anode to create an anode passivation layer that is a good Li conductor, which allows for safe and rapid plating/stripping of lithium metal with a low impedance.
锂硫(Li-S)电池已被广泛研究用于高容量电力存储,但其实际应用受到严重问题的阻碍,这些问题源于使用锂阳极和有机液体电解质,在这种电解质中,电池放电反应的LiS中间体是可溶的,并会穿梭到阳极。通过在有机液体电解质中添加双(4-硝基苯基)碳酸酯解决了这两个问题。可溶性的LiS多硫化物与添加剂反应生成不溶性多硫化物和锂副产物;该副产物与锂金属阳极反应形成一个良好的锂导体阳极钝化层,这使得锂金属能够以低阻抗安全快速地进行电镀/脱镀。
