main p.6 · Electrochemical Tests

SolventsElectrolyte and washing solvents as reported in methods: NaClO4 in 1:1 propylene carbonate/ethylene carbonate with 5 vol% fluoroethylene carbonate; DMC and acetone for washing recycled battery.
AdditivesSuper P conductive agent is discussed as causing partial irreversible capacity; PVDF and NMP appear in SI reagent table, but active-material/carbon/binder ratio is not reported.
AtmosphereGlovebox filled with high-purity argon (99.99%), H2O < 0.05 ppm and O2 < 0.05 ppm.
Temperature80
Time10
Work-upDried for 10 h in vacuum at 80 C, assembled in glovebox, rested for 10 h before constant-current charge-discharge; recycled battery washed with DMC and acetone.
ActivationPrelithiation for full-cell test: half cell cycled at 1 A g^-1 for three cycles.
