Acrylic acid nitrile, a film-forming electrolyte component for lithium-ion batteries, which belongs to the family of additives containing vinyl groups
2003
We present results on the electrolyte additive acrylic acid nitrile (AAN), which allows the use of propylene carbonate (PC)-based electrolytes together with graphitic anodes. This report will focus on the basic electrochemical properties and on XPS results of the films formed in the presence of AAN. Further data on in situ investigations of AAN is presented in another paper of this proceedings. The combination of both reports gives strong evidence, that the initiative step for solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation is a cathodic, i.e. by reduction induced electro-polymerisation of the vinyl-group. It is concluded that this electro-polymerisation may also be a main reduction mechanism of other vinyl compounds such as vinylene carbonate (VC), vinylene acetate and others.
