General description
Lithium iodide is widely used as an electrolyte additivein dye-sensitized solar cells and Li-S batteries, as it enables long cyclelife. It is also used as a phosphor for neutron detection.
Application
Lithium iodide(LiI)can be used as an electrolyte additive:
- To prepare biodegradable polymer electrolytes.Rice starch complexed with LiI shows enhanced ionic conductivity as theaddition of LiI increases the number of mobile charge carriers.
- For Li-S batteries. LiIforms a protective coating on the surface of both negative and positiveelectrodes and prevents the dissolution of polysulfides on the cathode sidewhich significantly enhances cell rate performance.
