Abstract:
Using 1,5-pentanediol(PD)and polyethylene glycol(PEG)as co-solvent to improve the electrochemical performance of 13 m(m=mol salt/kg solvent)Li OAc as aqueous lithium-ion batteries electrolytes obtains low-cost fluorine-free aqueous mixed solvent lithium acetate electrolytes.The activity of water molecules in the electrolyte was characterized by infrared absorption and Roman scattering spectroscopy.The results show that in the mixed solvent electrolytes the activity of water molecules is inhibited.Electrochemical tests show that the electrolytes have the widest electrochemical stability window of 3.10 V when the electrolyte composition is 2 m Li OAc-PD
