In the first part of the talk, I will introduce recently developed methodology for elucidation of the most important electrochemical performance parameters for high energy density battery materials, including electrode/electrolyte interphase conducitivity and cationic transference numbers from electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and bulk ion diffusion coefficients in electrolytes and electrodes from galvanostatic polarization. Here, detailed elucidation of spectra and equivalent circuit developement allows for extraction of charge transfer resistances and compext time/temperature behavior. In the second part of the talk, I will focus on application of such methodology on most promissing materials, such as Li/Na/K/Mg/Al metals in contact with contemporary liquid electrolytes, concentrated liquid (e.g. containing triple ions) and polymer electrolytes (above 40 wt% of salt), sustainable sodium cathodes and hard carbon anodes. In the case of metals, the findings show diversity of materials chemistry, with relevance of existence and potential corrosion of native oxide films, as well as dendrites. Finally, I will give an outlook on how to potentially develop future sustainable high performance battery materials.
