Summary

Descripción general del contenido del recurso.

Superconcentrated lithium salt electrolytes, or lithium-based Water-in-Salt (WiS) electrolytes emerge as alternative electrolytes in supercapacitors and advanced batteries, such as the Li–O2 ones, especially when combined with a mesoporous carbon with very high surface area. In this work, we analyze the wettability, imbibition, and diffusivity of very concentrated lithium salts in a bimodal mesoporous carbon with pores of 5 nm and 25 nm in diameter. For the first time a neutron radiography technique is used to determine the imbibition and interdiffusion of lithium salts in mesoporous carbon. We found that a 20 m LiTFSI aqueous solution wets the surface of graphite and mesoporous carbon better than water. As a consequence, this WiS electrolyte is embedded rather fast in the mesoporous carbon by the action of capillary forces, exhibiting an intrinsic permeability K = (1.16 ± 0.03).10−18 m2. Finally, by resorting to the different cross-section of the 6Li and 7Li isotopes for the neutron capture, we could analyze the diffusion of LiCl in D2O confined in the mesoporous carbon. The interdiffusion coefficient of the confined LiCl is 5.0 10−7 cm2 s−1, corresponding to a tortuosity coefficient τ = 1.32. This moderate confinement effect results from the strong ion association of the LiCl that precludes the electrostatic interactions of Li+ ions with the negative charge on the pore walls. In summary, the combined properties of the lithium-based WiS electrolytes and the mesoporous carbon allow us to glimpse their use in supercapacitors and Li–O2 batteries.
