Abstract: Systems and methods of providing an electrolyte membrane for metal batteries are described. According to aspects of the disclosure, a method includes preparing a mixture including an electrolyte portion and a matrix precursor portion, forming an electrolyte membrane by initiating polymerization of the gel-forming precursor and the gel-forming initiator to thereby form a polymer matrix, and disposing the electrolyte membrane between an anode and a cathode. The matrix precursor portion includes a gel-forming precursor and a gel-forming initiator. The electrolyte portion is disposed substantially throughout the polymer matrix.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an electrochemical cell may comprise exposing a surface of a metal substrate to a chalcogen in gas phase such that a metal chalcogenide layer forms on the surface of the metal substrate. A lithium metal foil may be laminated onto the metal chalcogenide layer on the surface of the metal substrate such that a surface of the lithium metal foil physically and chemically bonds to the metal chalcogenide layer on the surface of the metal substrate.

Abstract: A lithium-based electrode assembly and methods of formation relating thereto are provided. The lithium-based electrode assembly comprises a metal current collector, an electrode comprising lithium metal, and an intermediate layer disposed therebetween. The intermediate layer comprising an intermetallic compound comprising the lithium metal of the electrode and a metal selected from the group consisting of: aluminum, silver, gold, barium, bismuth, boron, calcium, cadmium, carbon, gallium, germanium, mercury, indium, iridium, lead, palladium, platinum, rhodium, antimony, selenium, silicon, tin, strontium, sulfur, tellurium, zinc, and combinations thereof. The method of forming the lithium assembly includes coating a surface of the metal current collector with the intermediate layer; disposing the electrode onto an exposed surface of the intermediate layer; and heating the electrode, the intermediate layer, and the metal current collector to form the lithium intermetallic compound, which joins the metal current collector and the electrode together.

Abstract: In an example of a method, a halogenide-hydrocarbon, an aprotic hydrocarbon solvent, and a reductant are combined to initiate a reaction that forms intermediate particles having a microporous framework. The intermediate particles are subjected to a heat treatment at a heat treatment temperature ranging from about 300° C. to less than 1500° C. for a heat treatment time period ranging from about 20 minutes to about 10 hours to form a precursor to microporous carbon.

Abstract: In a method of manufacturing an electrochemical cell, a porous or non-porous electrically conductive metal substrate may be provided. A conformal metal chalcogenide layer may be formed on a surface of the metal substrate. The metal substrate with the conformal metal chalcogenide layer may be immersed in a nonaqueous liquid electrolyte solution comprising a lithium salt dissolved in a polar aprotic organic solvent. An electrical potential may be established between the metal substrate and a counter electrode immersed in the nonaqueous liquid electrolyte solution such that lithium ions in the electrolyte solution are reduced to metallic lithium and deposited on the surface of the metal substrate over the metal chalcogenide layer to form a conformal lithium metal layer on the surface of the metal substrate over the metal chalcogenide layer.

Abstract: Electrochemical cells that cycle lithium ions are provided. The electrochemical cells have an electrode that includes a silicon-containing electroactive material that undergoes volumetric expansion and contraction during the cycling of the electrochemical cell; and an electrolyte system that promotes passive formation of a flexible protective layer comprising a lithium fluoride-polymer composite on one or more exposed surface regions of the silicon-containing electroactive material. The electrolyte system includes a lithium salt, at least one cyclic carbonate, and two or more linear carbonates. At least one of the two or more linear carbonate-containing co-solvents is a fluorinated carbonate-containing co-solvent. The electrolyte system accommodates the volumetric expansion and contraction of the silicon-containing electroactive material to promote long term cycling stability.
