Strategies for electrolyte modification of lithium-ion batteries under low-temperature environments

Abstract

Because of their high energy density, high voltage platform, extended cycle life, lack of memory effect, low self-discharge rate, environmental friendliness, and quick charging, lithium-ion batteries, or LIBs, are a vital component of contemporary electronic gadgets. Temperature has a complicated and wide-ranging effect on lithium-ion batteries, though. Lithium-ion batteries will have much-reduced performance, particularly in low-temperature conditions. The total performance of batteries is significantly impacted by the quality and performance of electrolytes in China. In particular, the electrolyte’s purpose in lithium-ion batteries is primarily to convey lithium ions; the battery’s ability to function at low temperatures is greatly influenced by the electrolyte’s ion conductivity and SEI film-forming capabilities. Thus, this article begins by providing an overview of the fundamental composition and properties of lithium-ion batteries. The impact of low-temperature circumstances on lithium ion performance was then discussed. Lastly, many modification techniques were suggested from the electrolyte’s point of view to enhance lithium-ion battery performance in low-temperature settings.
