This study presents a detailed comparative study of lactone‐based electrolytes (γ‐valerolactone, GVL and γ‐butyrolactone, GBL) combined with lithium imide‐based salts, namely lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) and lithium bis(fluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiFSI). Propylene carbonate is…
In this work, itaconic anhydride (ITC) is introduced as a novel bio‐derived additive for lithium‐ion batteries. Its ability to create a stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is evaluated in graphite electrodes and compared to vinylene carbonate (VC). The findings show that electrolytes consisting…
In this study we report for the first time the application of an emerging bio-based solvent derived from lactic acid, namely 5-methyl-1,3-dioxolane-4-one (LA-H,H), as an electrolyte component for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Electrolyte formulations consisting of this novel bio-solvent and imide conducting…
Abstract In this work, γ‐valerolactone (GVL), a green solvent based on largely available biomass (carbohydrates), highly biodegradable, and with low eco‐toxicological profile, was used as electrolyte component in energy storage devices. This solvent allowed the realization of electrolytes with good transport…
