Ester-based anti-freezing electrolyte achieving ultra-low temperature cycling for sodium-ion batteries

With the continuous advancement of industrialization,sodium-ion batteries(SIBs)need to operate in various challenging circumstances,particularly in extremely cold conditions.However,at ultra-low tem-peratures,the reduced ionic conductivity and sluggish Na+migration of commonly carbonate-based elec-trolytes will inevitably lead to a sharp decrease in the capacity of SIBs.Herein,we design a carboxylate ester-based electrolyte with excellentultra-low temperature performance by straightforward cosolvent strategy.Due to the low viscosity,melting point,and sufficient ionic conductivity of the designed elec-trolyte,the resulting Na‖Na3V2(PO4)2O2F can achieve the capacity retention of 96%(100 cycles at 0.1 C)at-40 ℃ and can also operate stably even at-50 ℃.Besides,galvanostatic intermittent titration tech-nique(GITT),ex-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy(TEM)tests are employed to analyze and confirm that the carboxylate ester-based electrolyte promotes robust and uniform cathode/electrolyte interface layer formation and accelerates ion diffusion kinetics,which collectively facilitates the better low-temperature performance.In addition,the assembled hard carbon‖NVPOF full cells further prove the practicability of the carboxylate ester-based electrolyte at low-temperature,which delivers high discharge capacity of 108.4 and 73.0 mAh g-1 at-25 and-40 ℃.This work affords a new avenue for designing advanced low-temperature electrolytes for SIBs.
