In this paper we report a comparative study of the electrochemical properties of a lithium–oxygen cell using a tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether (TEGDME)-based electrolyte solution with four different lithium salts, namely, lithium-bis-(trifluormethanesulfonyl)-imide, LiN(SO2CF3)2, lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate, LiCF3SO3, lithium perchlorate, LiClO4, and lithium hexafluorophosphate, LiPF6. This study evidences the role of the electrolyte salt in affecting the cell polarization as a reflection of its specific properties in terms of lithium transference number and interface resistance. LiCF3SO3 is finally identified as the best choice for assuring low cell polarization.

Abstract

In this paper we report a comparative study of the electrochemical properties of a lithium–oxygen cell using a tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether (TEGDME)-based electrolyte solution with four different lithium salts, namely, lithium-bis-(trifluormethanesulfonyl)-imide, LiN(SO2CF3)2, lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate, LiCF3SO3, lithium perchlorate, LiClO4, and lithium hexafluorophosphate, LiPF6. This study evidences the role of the electrolyte salt in affecting the cell polarization as a reflection of its specific properties in terms of lithium transference number and interface resistance. LiCF3SO3 is finally identified as the best choice for assuring low cell polarization.
