Notable Reactivity of Acetonitrile Towards Li2o2/Lio2 Probed By Topics in Catalysis https://doi.org/10.1007/s11244-018-1072-5 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Notable Reactivity of Acetonitrile Towards Li2O2/LiO2 Probed by NAP XPS During Li–O2 Battery Discharge Tatiana K. Zakharchenko1 · Alina I. Belova1 · Alexander S. Frolov1 · Olesya O. Kapitanova1 · Juan‑Jesus Velasco‑Velez2 · Axel Knop‑Gericke2,5 · Denis Vyalikh3,4 · Daniil M. Itkis1 · Lada V. Yashina1 © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract One of the key factors responsible for the poor cycleability of Li–O2 batteries is a formation of byproducts from irreversible reactions between electrolyte and discharge product Li 2O2 and/or intermediate LiO2. Among many solvents that are used as electrolyte component for Li–O2 batteries, acetonitrile (MeCN) is believed to be relatively stable towards oxidation. Using near ambient pressure X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (NAP XPS), we characterized the reactivity of MeCN in the Li–O2 battery. For this purpose, we designed the model electrochemical cell assembled with solid electrolyte. We discharged it first in O2 and then exposed to MeCN vapor. Further, the discharge was carried out in O2 + MeCN mixture. We have dem- onstrated that being in contact with Li–O2 discharge products, MeCN oxidizes. This yields species that are weakly bonded to the surface and can be easily desorbed. That’s why they cannot be detected by the conventional XPS. Our results suggest that the respective chemical process most probably does not give rise to electrode passivation but can decrease considerably the Coulombic efficiency of the battery.

Appropriate clothing includes the following: • Shoes should fully cover the feet to protect against spills; no open-toed shoes or sandals are permitted, and shoes with mesh inserts (such as athletic shoes) are not recommended. One may choose to keep a pair of sturdy leather shoes in the laboratory to change into upon arrival. • Trousers or skirts falling below the knee are preferred; if shorter garments are worn, a lab coat or apron of below knee length is required. Preferred materials are resistant polyester, cotton or wool, since ordinary polyester and acrylics may be dissolved by common laboratory solvents. • Neckties, if worn, should be firmly clipped to the shirt or confined inside a lab coat or apron. • Loose, flowing garments and scarves should be avoided; they may easily pick up spills or trail through a burner flame. • In a laboratory where open flames may be used, long hair should be confined. • Loose jewelry should be avoided, since it may catch on equipment. Also avoid ornate rings that can damage protective gloves or make wearing or removing gloves difficult B. Protective Equipment Every laboratory must have available, and workers must be trained in the use of, safety goggles, face masks, lab coats or aprons, gloves, and reaction shields.

Received: 20 March 2020; Accepted: 15 April 2020; Published: 21 April 2020 Abstract: Over the past two decades, the vibrational Stark effect has become an important tool to measure and analyze the in situ electric field strength in various chemical environments with infrared spectroscopy. The underlying assumption of this effect is that the normal stretching mode of a target bond such as CO or CN of a reporter molecule (termed vibrational Stark effect probe) is localized and free from mass-coupling from other internal coordinates, so that its frequency shift directly reflects the influence of the vicinal electric field. However, the validity of this essential assumption has never been assessed. Given the fact that normal modes are generally delocalized because of mass-coupling, this analysis was overdue.
