3 Lithium - Atomic weight: 6.94 g/mol - Lightest alkali metal (0.54 g/cm3 ) - Silvery, metallic solid - Theoretical capacity: 3.86 Ah/g - Eo = -3.04 VSHE
Advantage of Li /986 Li←→Lit+e The molecular weight of lithium is 6.94 g/mol,so its theoretical capacity is:96500:6.94-:3.6 3862.5 mA-h/g >Eo=-3.04 VsHE-high operating voltage of battery cells 4
4 Advantage of Li The molecular weight of lithium is 6.94 g/mol, so its theoretical capacity is: 96500÷6.94÷3.6 = 3862.5 mA·h/g Eo = -3.04 VSHE → high operating voltage of battery cells Li ↔ Li+ + e─ 1 2

5 Disadvantage of Li Formation of Li dendrite • Solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) o Li↔Li+ @ negative potential → electrolyte reduced at Li surface → passivation layer (SEI) o Electrolyte: 1 M LiPF6 in ethylene carbonate/diethyl carbonate (EC/DEC; 1/1) Step 1: Li plating causes volume expansion, which cracks the SEI film. DOI: 10.1038/NNANO.2017.16 Step 2: further plating causes Li dendrites to shoot out through the cracks. Step 3: Li stripping produces isolated Li which becomes part of the ‘dead’ Li, while volume contraction results in further SEI fracture. Step 4: Continuous cycling causes steps 1–3 to occur repeatedly, and this finally results in accumulated dead Li, thick SEI and porous Li electrode Formation process:
Observing the dendrites and SEl BATTERIES Atomic structure of sensitive battery materials and interfaces revealed by cryo-electron microscopy Yuzhang Li,*Yanbin Li,1*Allen Pei,Kai Yan,Yongming Sun,1 Chun-Lan Wu,1 Lydia-Marie Joubert,2 Richard Chin,Ai Leen Koh,Yi Yu,*John Perrino,2 Benjamin Butz,15 Steven Chu,6.7 Yi Cuils Yi CUI Li et al.,Science 358,506-510(2017) Whereas standard transmission electron microscopy studies are unable to preserve the native state of chemically reactive and beam-sensitive battery materials after operation,such materials remain pristine at cryogenic conditions.It is then possible to atomically resolve individual lithium metal atoms and their interface with the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI).We observe that dendrites in carbonate-based electrolytes grow along the (preferred).,or directions as faceted,single-crystalline nanowires.These growth directions can change at kinks with no observable crystallographic defect.Furthermore,we reveal distinct SEl nanostructures formed in different electrolytes. 6
