Piperidine-based ionic liquid additive with electrostatic shielding and redox activity enabling advanced lithium-oxygen batteries

Chem Commun (Camb). 2024 Aug 20;60(68):9058-9061. doi: 10.1039/d4cc02983f.

Abstract

Here, we propose a piperidine-based ionic liquid additive. The electrostatic shielding effect of the piperidine cation (PP13+) effectively inhibits the growth of lithium dendrites. Simultaneously, the redox activity of the bromine anion synergistically reduces the overpotential. This approach significantly improves the cycling performance of lithium-oxygen batteries.
