Developing electrode materials with high voltage and high specific capacity has always been an important strategy for increasing the energy density of lithium-ion capacitors (LICs). However, organic-based electrolytes with lithium salts limit their potential for application in LICs to voltages below 3.8 V in terms of polarization reactions. In this work, we introduce Li[N(CFSO)] (lithium Bis (pentafluoroethanesulfonyl)imide or LiBETI), an electrolyte with high conductivity and superior electrochemical and mechanical stability, to construct a three-electrode LIC system. After graphite anode pre-lithiation, the anode potential was stabilized in the three-electrode LIC system, and a stable solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film formed on the anode surface as expected. Meanwhile, the LIC device using LiBETI as the electrolyte, and a self-synthesized graphene/single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) composite as the cathode, showed a high voltage window, allowing the LIC to achieve an operating voltage of 4.5 V. As a result, the LIC device has a high energy density of up to 182 Wh kg and a 2678 W kg power density at 4.5 V. At a current density of 2 A g, the capacity retention rate is 72.7% after 10,000 cycles.
开发具有高电压和高比容量的电极材料一直是提高锂离子电容器(LIC)能量密度的重要策略。然而,就极化反应而言,含锂盐的有机基电解质将其在LIC中的应用潜力限制在3.8 V以下的电压。在这项工作中,我们引入了Li[N(CFSO)](双(五氟乙烷磺酰)亚胺锂或LiBETI),一种具有高导电性以及优异电化学和机械稳定性的电解质,以构建三电极LIC系统。在石墨阳极预锂化后,阳极电位在三电极LIC系统中稳定下来,并且如预期的那样在阳极表面形成了稳定的固体电解质界面(SEI)膜。同时,使用LiBETI作为电解质、自合成的石墨烯/单壁碳纳米管(SWCNT)复合材料作为阴极的LIC器件显示出高电压窗口,使LIC能够实现4.5 V的工作电压。结果,该LIC器件在4.5 V时具有高达182 Wh kg的高能量密度和2678 W kg的功率密度。在2 A g的电流密度下,10000次循环后容量保持率为72.7%。
