Toward the understanding of chemical degradation of aprotic solvents for Li-air batteries
Abstract
Rechargeability is one of the key properties that require a substantial improvement in order to get viable Li-Air batteries for electric vehicles. For this reason the understanding of parasitic chemical processes, such as the chemical degradation of aproptic solvents, is of primary importance. In this talk we present a DFT-based molecular dynamics study of the degradation processes taking places in Li-Air batteries when Propylene Carbonate is used as solvent and the implications our findings have in the development of Li-Air battery technologies.
