The development of high-performance Lithium-metal batteries has long been at the forefront of energy technologies. The electrolyte is often the limiting factor directly affecting the performance and safety of the battery. Among the different electrolytes, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-based systems have attracted increasing attention due to their promising ionic conductivity and stability at the anodic interface. However, despite the high polymer permittivity (ε′ ≈ 10–11) which should allow efficient salt dissociation, there is growing evidence that the ionic transport requires the presence of a non-negligible amount of residual solvent. In this context, we have investigated the role of DMF in the solvation and diffusion of Li+ via ab-initio computational methods.

Abstract
The development of high-performance Lithium-metal batteries has long been at the forefront of energy technologies. The electrolyte is often the limiting factor directly affecting the performance and safety of the battery. Among the different electrolytes, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-based systems have attracted increasing attention due to their promising ionic conductivity and stability at the anodic interface. However, despite the high polymer permittivity (ε′ ≈ 10–11) which should allow efficient salt dissociation, there is growing evidence that the ionic transport requires the presence of a non-negligible amount of residual solvent. In this context, we have investigated the role of DMF in the solvation and diffusion of Li+ via ab-initio computational methods.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
