The research team explained that they used “borate-pyran electrolyte” to prevent corrosion from impacting the durability of the battery. Although lithium metal batteries are considered to have superior energy density to lithium-ion batteries, corrosion has made it difficult to use the next-generational batteries for EVs.
Kim Hee-tak, a professor of KAIST Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering who directed the project, emphasized that the research proved the feasibility of lithium metal batteries using electrolytes.
The Electrolyte Genome project computation infrastructure. Submitted molecules (top-left) are mapped to workflows (top-right), and computed automatically over several supercomputing resources. The results are automatically parsed and put in several MongoDB collections. For more details, see the text.
Properties important for future battery electrolytes including wide electrochemical window, high ion conductivity, high solubility, chemical stability towards electrode components, low flammability, environmental friendliness, and low cost.
The goal of our project (Electrolyte Genome) is to ultimately address all chemical components present in the electrolyte as well as the interactions between them, including redox active molecules, solvent, salt, impurities and additives.
Using this infrastructure, we have computed the ionization potential (IP) and electron affinities (EA) of 4830 molecules relevant to battery electrolytes (encompassing almost 55,000 quantum mechanics calculations) at the B3LYP/6-31+G∗ level.
