Sumario:Lithium-free anode dual-ion batteries have attracted extensive studies due to their simple configuration, reduced cost, high safety and enhanced energy density. For the first time, a novel Li-free DIB based on a carbon paper anode (Li-free CGDIB) is reported in this paper. Carbon paper anodes usually have limited application in DIBs due to their poor electrochemical performance. Herein, by using a lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI)-containing electrolyte, the battery shows outstanding electrochemical performance with a capacity retention of 96% after 300 cycles at 2C with a stable 98% coulombic efficiency and 89% capacity retention after 500 cycles at 5C with a stable coulombic efficiency of 98.5%. Moreover, the electrochemical properties of the CGDIB were investigated with a variety of in situ characterization techniques, such as in situ EIS, XRD and online differential electrochemical mass spectrometry (OEMS). The multifunctional effect of the LiFSI additive on the electrochemical properties of the Li-free CGDIB was also systematically analyzed, including generating a LiF-rich interfacial film, prohibiting Li dendrite growth effectively and forming a defective structure of graphite layers. This design strategy and fundamental analysis show great potential and lay a theoretical foundation for facilitating the further development of DIBs with high energy density.
