Abstract:

Dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO) was used as the solvent of electrolyte in the rechargeable lithium metal batteries. The lithium deposition morphology and cycling efficiency in DMSO, propylene carbonate(PC) and 1,3-dioxolane(DOL) with lithium hexafluorophosphate(LiPF6) as the solute and in DMSO with lithium hexafluorophosphate(LiPF6), lithium tetrafluoroborate(LiBF4), lithium perchlorate(LiClO4) or lithium bis(trifluoromethane sulfonimide)(LiTFSI)] as the solute respectively were investigated and compared. The resuts show that Li surface deposited in the DMSO solution was smooth and uniform and the lithium cycling efficiency in the DMSO solvent was higher than that in PC solvent in the first ten cyclings.

Key words: Dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO), Metal lithium, Surface morphology, Cycling efficiency
