Electrolyte additives play a pivotal role in improving the cyclability of the sodium-ion batteries (SIB) by modifying the composition of solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film. Herein, we select three sulfur-based additives with similar molecular structure (1,3-propane sultone (1,3-PS), prop-1-ene-1,3-sultone (PES) and ethylene sulfate (DTD)), which is contrastively investigated using home-made Na(Ni0.4Mn0.4Cu0.1Ti0.1)0.999La0.001O2 (NMCT-La)/commercial hard carbon (HC) full-type cells within the voltage range of 1.2–4.4 V. It is shown that adding 2 wt% 1,3-PS or 2 wt% DTD in the base electrolyte (1 M NaPF6 in EC:DMC with 2 wt% FEC) can achieve an increasingly capacity retention rate from 58.7% to 82.0% and 79.4%, respectively, while PES has a negative effect. Electron microscopy characterizations (FESEM and TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results confirm that 1,3-PS or DTD can generate a denser and more uniform SEI film on the HC electrode, meanwhile, be oxidized on the positive electrode to protect the NMCT-La material from the attack of the electrolyte during cycling. The formation of sulfates and sulfites (such as ROSO2Na and RSO3Na) through the decomposition of 1,3-PS and DTD can stabilize SEI film, resulting in a high-performance SIB with long lifespan.

1,3-丙磺酸内酯、prop-1-ene-1,3-磺酸内酯和硫酸乙烯酯作为钠离子电池成膜添加剂的对比研究
电解质添加剂通过改变固体电解质界面 (SEI) 薄膜的组成,在提高钠离子电池 (SIB) 的循环性能方面发挥着关键作用。在此,我们选择了三种具有相似分子结构的硫基添加剂(1,3-丙磺酸内酯(1,3-PS)、prop-1-ene-1,3-磺酸内酯(PES)和硫酸乙烯酯(DTD)),使用自制的Na(Ni 0.4 Mn 0.4 Cu 0.1 Ti 0.1 ) 0.999 La 0.001 O 2 (NMCT-La)/商用硬碳(HC)全型电池在1.2-4.4 V电压范围内进行对比研究。结果表明,在基础电解质(1 M NaPF 6在 EC:DMC with 2 wt% FEC) 中,容量保持率分别从 58.7% 提高到 82.0% 和 79.4%,而 PES 有负面影响。电子显微镜表征(FESEM 和 TEM)和 X 射线光电子能谱(XPS)结果证实,1,3-PS 或 DTD 可以在 HC 电极上生成更致密、更均匀的 SEI 膜,同时在正极上被氧化成保护 NMCT-La 材料在循环过程中免受电解质的侵蚀。通过 1,3-PS 和 DTD 的分解形成硫酸盐和亚硫酸盐(如 ROSO 2 Na 和 RSO 3 Na)可以稳定 SEI 膜,从而产生具有长寿命的高性能 SIB。
