AbstractGraphitic materials cannot be applied for the negative electrode of sodium-ion battery because the reversible capacities of graphite are anomalously small. To promote electrochemical sodium-ion intercalation into graphitic materials, the interfacial sodium-ion transfer reaction at the interface between graphitized carbon nanosphere (GCNS) electrode and organic electrolyte solutions was investigated. The interfacial lithium-ion transfer reaction was also evaluated for the comparison to the sodium-ion transfer. From the cyclic voltammograms, both lithium-ion and sodium-ion can reversibly intercalate into/from GCNS in all of the electrolytes used here. In the Nyquist plots, the semi-circles at the high frequency region derived from the Solid Electrolyte Interphase (SEI) resistance and the semi-circles at the middle frequency region owing to the charge-transfer resistance appeared. The activation energies of both lithium-ion and sodium-ion transfer resistances were measured. The values of activation energies of the interfacial lithium-ion transfer suggested that the interfacial lithium-ion transfer was influenced by the interaction between lithium-ion and solvents, anions or SEI. The activation energies of the interfacial sodium-ion transfer were larger than the expected values of interfacial sodium-ion transfer based on the week Lewis acidity of sodium-ion. In addition, the activation energies of interfacial sodium-ion transfer in dilute FEC-based electrolytes were smaller than those in concentrated electrolytes. The activation energies of the interfacial lithium/sodium-ion transfer of CNS-1100 in FEC-based electrolyte solutions were almost the same as those of CNS-2900, indicating that the mechanism of interfacial charge-transfer reaction seemed to be the same for highly graphitized materials and low-graphitized materials each other.

In concentrated propylene carbonate (PC)-based electrolyte solutions, reversible lithium intercalation and de-intercalation occur at graphite negative electrodes because of the low solvation number. However, concentrated electrolyte solutions have low ionic conductivity due to their high viscosity, which leads to poor electrochemical performance in lithium-ion batteries. Therefore, we investigated the effect of the addition of 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE), a co-solvent with low electron-donating ability, on the electrochemical properties of graphite in a concentrated PC-based electrolyte solution. An effective solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) was formed, and lithium intercalation into graphite occurred in the concentrated PC-based electrolyte solutions containing various amounts of DCE, while the reversible capacity improved. Raman spectroscopy results confirmed that the solvation structure of the lithium ions, which allows for effective SEI formation, was maintained despite the decrease in the total molality of LiPF6 by the addition of DCE. These results suggest that the addition of a co-solvent with low electron-donating ability is an effective strategy for improving the electrochemical performance in concentrated electrolyte solutions.
