==ELECTROLYTE FOR LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES WITH SILICON-BASED ANODES - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17851135 titled 'ELECTROLYTE FOR LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES WITH SILICON-BASED ANODES

==Simplified Explanation==

'''Abstract:'''
An electrochemical cell is described in this patent application. The cell consists of an anode made of a silicon-based active material, a cathode made of a cathode active material, and an electrolyte. The electrolyte is formulated using a propionate-based solvent, a carbonate-based solvent, trifluoro toluene, a lithium salt with a molar concentration of 2.0 M or greater, and less than or equal to 5.0 wt. % of fluoroethylene carbonate.

'''Patent/Innovation Explanation:'''
* An electrochemical cell is designed with specific components and electrolyte formulation.
* The anode is made of a silicon-based active material, which is likely to enhance the performance of the cell.
* The cathode is made of a cathode active material, which could be a different material than the anode.
* The electrolyte is formulated using a combination of propionate-based solvent, carbonate-based solvent, trifluoro toluene, and a lithium salt with a high molar concentration.
* The electrolyte also contains a small amount (less than or equal to 5.0 wt. %) of fluoroethylene carbonate, which may have a specific purpose in improving the cell's performance.

'''Potential Applications:'''
* This technology could be used in various electrochemical devices, such as batteries or fuel cells.
* It may find applications in portable electronics, electric vehicles, renewable energy storage, and grid-scale energy storage systems.

'''Problems Solved:'''
* The use of a silicon-based active material in the anode may address issues related to low energy density and limited capacity in traditional anode materials.
* The specific electrolyte formulation could potentially improve the overall performance and stability of the electrochemical cell.

'''Benefits:'''
* The use of a silicon-based active material in the anode may result in higher energy density and increased capacity of the electrochemical cell.
* The specific electrolyte formulation may enhance the cell's performance, stability, and lifespan.
* This technology has the potential to contribute to the development of more efficient and reliable electrochemical devices.
