Thermoelectrochemical cells based on Li+/Li redox couples in LiFSI glyme electrolytes
Literature Information
Kyunggu Kim, Hochun Lee
Thermoelectrochemical cells (TECs) provide conspicuous advantages, including a high Seebeck coefficient (Se), design flexibility, and low cost compared with conventional thermoelectric devices. Here, we investigated TECs employing Li metal electrodes (Li-TECs) and a series of glyme (CH3O[CH2CH2O]nCH3, n = 1–4, nG) solvents with 0.5–3.0 M lithium-imide salts (lithium bis [fluorosulfonyl]imide, LiFSI, and lithium bis[trifluoromethane sulfonyl]imide, LiTFSI). The Se value and power performance of Li-TECs markedly depend on the nature of glyme solvents and Li salt concentration. The dependency of Se on the solvation structure of the Li-ions is examined via Raman measurements, and the internal resistance of Li-TECs is analyzed using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Notably, a Li-TEC with 1.0 M LiFSI 1G displays about two times higher power density and about eight times higher conversion efficiency than a conventional Cu-TEC utilizing aqueous electrolytes, which is ascribed to the high Se value and low thermal conductivity of the former. In addition, for a Li-TEC with 1.0 M LiFSI 1G, the low-temperature performance is examined to assess its practical feasibility.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
