Development and investigation of electrolytes for alkaline metal batteries
As part of the POLiS Cluster of Excellence, new, liquid-based electrolyte systems for sodium and potassium ion batteries are being produced and investigated in detail in the working group. In addition to improving battery safety, the aim is to use fluorine-reduced compounds (e.g. conductive salts) and the effect of additives in the cell (e.g. FEC, NaDFOB). In addition, the working group is involved in cross-POLiS ring trials and provides electrolyte solutions for other groups.
One focus of the work is the investigation of electrolytes with regard to degradation and decomposition products using chromatographic methods (gas chromatography, HPLC), especially in interaction with reactive Na and K interfaces. Complex processes take place at the interface, which also generate soluble decomposition products. These then diffuse into the electrolyte, change the electrolyte characteristics and in turn lead to further reactions. For this reason, reaction mechanisms are elucidated in close cooperation with surface methods (XPS) and theoretical modeling so that the corresponding compounds can be better detected and understood.
