《Lithium-ion attack on yttrium oxide in the presence of copper powder during Li plating in a super-concentrated electrolyte》 was written by Shiga, Tohru; Masuoka, Yumi; Nozaki, Hiroshi; Ohba, Nobuko. Computed Properties of C3H2O3This research focused onyttrium oxide copper powder lithium ion attack plating. The article conveys some information:
Li plating/stripping on Cu and Y2O3 (Cu + Y2O3) electrodes was examined in a super-concentrated electrolyte of lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)amide and methylphenylamino-di(trifluoroethyl) phosphate. In principle, Li+ ions cannot intercalate into a Y2O3 crystal because its intercalation potential obtained from first-principles calculations is -1.02 V vs. Li+/Li. However, a drastic decrease in the electrode potential and a subsequent constant-potential region were observed during Li plating onto a Cu + Y2O3 electrode, suggesting that Li+ interacted with Y2O3. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectra of the Cu + Y2O3 electrodes after the Li plating were recorded to verify this phenomenon. The XRD and XAFS results indicated that the crystallinity of Y2O3 crystals was lowered because of attack by Li+ ions or that the Y2O3 crystal structure was broken while the +3 valence state of Y was maintained. After reading the article, we found that the author used Vinylene carbonate(cas: 872-36-6Computed Properties of C3H2O3)
Vinylene carbonate(cas: 872-36-6) belongs to esters. Alkyl carbonates find applications as solvents for lithium ion battery electrolytes and the use of high quality battery grade electrolytes having extremely low water (<10 ppm) and acid (<10 ppm) contents are critical for achieving high electrochemical performance.Computed Properties of C3H2O3
