| Abstract | Fast charging promotesLi dendrite formation and itsgrowth on graphite anodes, whichaffects cell performance in Li-ion batteries (LIBs). This work reportsthe formation of a robust SEI layer by introducing a KPF6 inorganic additive into the electrolyte. An optimal concentrationof 0.001 M KPF6 effectively inhibits the growth of Li dendritesat 2C charging rates, compared with a commercial electrolyte. Electrolytescontaining a KPF6 additive are shown here to deliver dualeffects to mitigate the growth of dendrites. A thin LiF-rich SEI layeris formed on graphite, which blocks the electron leakage pathways.Additionally, K+ resides at defect sites (such as particleboundaries) due to its faster diffusion rate and blocks the incomingLi+ and restricts the growth of Li dendrites. The electrolytewith optimum concentration of KPF6, i.e., 0.001 M, effectivelydirects Li+ transport through the thin, durable, and lowresistance LiF-rich SEI layer. This has implications for fast chargingthrough optimization of the electrode/electrolyte interphase by controllingadditive concentrations. |
