Halide and nitroxide electrolyte chemistries: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Dendrite growth and liquid leakage in electrochemical cells compromise safety and cycle life. These innovations utilize specific metal-organic frameworks to provide stable ion conduction in solid-state architectures.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Halide and nitroxide electrolyte chemistries?

Surface instability and degradation

(37)evidences

Unstable contact between active materials and electrolytes leads to parasitic side reactions. Preventing this degradation maintains structural integrity and extends cycle life.

Structural instability during cycling

(26)evidences

Surface degradation and mechanical fracturing of cathode particles during cycling. Mitigating these failures prevents capacity fade and extends operational lifespan.

Electrochemical instability and low capacity

(18)evidences

Chemical degradation and parasitic reactions at the contact point between active materials and electrolytes. Mitigating these interactions prevents capacity fade and internal resistance growth.

Low energy density retention

(12)evidences

Deterioration of the electrode-electrolyte interface leads to capacity fade and impedance growth. Stabilizing the surface prevents parasitic reactions and improves cycle life.
