摘要
Understanding the surface electrochemistry of polymer electrolytes under battery operating conditions is of great importance for tuning the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) in lithium batteries with polymer electrolytes. Herein, the surface (electro)chemical process of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide (LiTFSA) (PEO 10 LiTFSA) electrolyte on the Cu electrode is studied by operando attenuated total reflection infrared (ATR‐IR) and ex situ X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques coupled with the interfacial resistance obtained from electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Linear sweep voltammogram of the Cu electrode in PEO 10 LiTFSA electrolyte suggests the SEI‐like layer formation involves three reduction steps. Operando ATR‐IR, ex situ XPS, and EIS reveal the corresponding (electro)chemical processes and their effect on the interfacial resistance; LiTFSA and residual H 2 O and CO 2 are first reduced, forming an inorganic SEI‐like layer without affecting the interfacial resistance. Subsequently, the PEO matrix reduces into several decomposed products, including CC components, responsible for the most resistive SEI‐like layer. Finally, PEO‐decomposed species with CC components further reduce into alkyl‐related species, leading significant reduction of the resistance of the SEI‐like layer. The study successfully reveals the complex surface (electro)chemical process at the PEO electrolyte–Cu electrode interface, and may serve as a model system for understanding SEI component and interfacial resistance relationship in the polymer electrolyte system.
