Tracking solid electrolyte interphase dynamics using operando fibre-optic infra-red spectroscopy and multivariate curve regression
Résumé
As batteries drive the transition to electrified transportation and energy systems, ensuring their quality, reliability, lifetime, and safety is crucial. While the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is known to govern these performance characteristics, its dynamic nature makes understanding its nucleation, growth, and composition an ambitious, yet elusive aspiration. This work employs chalcogenide fibres embedded in negative electrode materials for operando Infra-red Fibre-optic Evanescent Wave Spectroscopy (IR-FEWS), combined with Multivariate Curve Resolution by Alternating Least Squares (MCR-ALS) algorithms for spectra analysis. By establishing molecular fingerprints that can be used to identify reaction products, IR-FEWS combined with MCR-ALS enables improved understanding of SEI evolution during cell formation with notable differences stemming from electrolyte or anode material. For example, despite operating at an elevated potential, lithium titanate's SEI has intrinsic instability, evidenced by continued carbonate formation. This approach leads the hunt for the SEI down a new path, giving empirical formulations theoretical roots.
