- W4387473080 abstract "Sodium-air batteries (SABs) are receiving considerable attention for the development of next generation battery alternatives due to their high theoretical energy density (up to 1105 W h kg-1). However, most of the studies on this technology are still based on organic solvents; in particular, diglyme, which is highly flammable and toxic for the unborn child. To overcome these safety issues, this research investigates the first use of a branched ether solvent 1,2,3-trimethoxypropane (TMP) as an alternative electrolyte to diglyme for SABs. Through this work, the reactivity of the central tertiary carbon in TMP towards bare sodium metal was identified, while the addition of N-butyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([C4mpyr][TFSI]) as a co-solvent proved to be an effective strategy to limit the reactivity. Moreover, a Na-β-alumina disk was employed for anode protection, to separate the TMP-based electrolyte from the sodium metal. The new cell design resulted in improved cell performance: discharge capacities of up to 1.92 and 2.31 mA h cm-2 were achieved for the 16.6 mol% NaTFSI in TMP and 16.6 mol% NaTFSI in TMP/[C4mpyr][TFSI] compositions, respectively. By means of SEM, Raman and 23Na NMR techniques, NaO2 cubes were identified to be the major discharge product for both electrolyte compositions. Moreover, the hybrid electrolyte was shown to hinder the formation of side-products during discharge - the ratio of NaO2 to side-products in the hybrid electrolyte was 2.4 compared with 0.8 for the TMP-based electrolyte - and a different charge mechanism for the dissolution of NaO2 cubes for each electrolyte was observed. The findings of this work demonstrate the high potential of TMP as a base solvent for SABs, and the importance of careful electrolyte composition design in order to step towards greener and less toxic batteries." @default.
