  • Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy of a Li–S battery: Part 2. Influence of separator chemistry on the lithium electrode/electrolyte Interface
    Electrochimica Acta, 2017
    Co-Authors: Joanna Conder, Sigita Trabesinger, Lorenz Gubler, Claire Villevieille, Petr Novák, Renaud Bouchet
    Abstract:

    Abstract Asymmetric separators with polysulfide barrier properties, consisting of porous polypropylene (PP) grafted with styrene sulfonate (SS), PP-g-PLiSS, were characterized in symmetric Li/Li cells using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy to investigate the influence of separator chemistry on the Li electrode/electrolyte Interface. The symmetric Li/Li cell approach was found to be applicable for probing the transport properties of the separator and, therefore, determining the role of the functionality added to the separator. Electrolyte resistance and the formation of a surface film on metallic Li were both monitored as functions of time and the concentration of cation-exchange groups introduced at and near the surface of one side of the separator (expressed as the graft level). No continuous build-up of Li electrode/electrolyte Interface resistance was observed, indicating that the addition of a cation-exchange layer did not hinder entirely Li-ion transport through the separator. In addition, the microstructures of the separators were reconstructed based on focused ion beam/scanning electron microscopy tomography to determine the effective ionic conductivity and effective tortuosity of the PP-g-PLiSS separators. These values showed that ion mobility within the separator changed with increasing graft level, indicating that the concentration of SS groups and bulk porosity of the separator have to be adjusted to maintain the effective conductivity at a practical level.

  • evolution of the electrode electrolyte Interface in a lithium polymer battery
    Solid State Ionics, 2006
    Co-Authors: Anna Teyssot, Massimiliano Rosso, Renaud Bouchet, Stephane Lascaud
    Abstract:

    Abstract Using impedance spectroscopy and in situ optical absorption experiments, we have studied the evolution of a lithium electrode/polymer electrolyte Interface during aging and cycling. During a period of 3–5 days after assembling a cell, aging has a detrimental effect on the Interface: this effect is observed both on the Interface impedance and on the optical properties of the electrolyte. After this initial period, optical absorption measured during cycling a cell reveals a concentration evolution in the electrolyte in agreement with theoretical predictions.
