Hierarchical Porous LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 Nano-/Micro Spherical Cathode Material: Minimized Cation Mixing and Improved Li(+) Mobility for Enhanced Electrochemical Performance.

ABSTRACT: Although being considered as one of the most promising cathode materials for Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 (NCM) is currently limited by its poor rate performance and cycle stability resulting from the thermodynamically favorable Li(+)/Ni(2+) cation mixing which depresses the Li(+) mobility. In this study, we developed a two-step method using fluffy MnO2 as template to prepare hierarchical porous nano-/microsphere NCM (PNM-NCM). Specifically, PNM-NCM microspheres achieves a high reversible specific capacity of 207.7 mAh g(-1) at 0.1 C with excellent rate capability (163.6 and 148.9 mAh g(-1) at 1 C and 2 C), and the reversible capacity retention can be well-maintained as high as 90.3% after 50 cycles. This excellent electrochemical performance is attributed to unique hierarchical porous nano-/microsphere structure which can increase the contact area with electrolyte, shorten Li(+) diffusion path and thus improve the Li(+) mobility. Moreover, as revealed by XRD Rietveld refinement analysis, a negligible cation mixing (1.9%) and high crystallinity with a well-formed layered structure also contribute to the enhanced C-rates performance and cycle stability. On the basis of our study, an effective strategy can be established to reveal the fundamental relationship between the structure/chemistry of these materials and their properties.

Crystallization behavior of the Li2S-P2S5 glass electrolyte in the LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 positive electrode layer.

Project description:Sulfide-based all-solid-state lithium batteries are a next-generation power source composed of the inorganic solid electrolytes which are incombustible and have high ionic conductivity. Positive electrode composites comprising LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 (NMC) and 75Li2S·25P2S5 (LPS) glass electrolytes exhibit excellent charge-discharge cycle performance and are promising candidates for realizing all-solid-state batteries. The thermal stabilities of NMC-LPS composites have been investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), which indicated that an exothermal reaction could be attributed to the crystallization of the LPS glass. To further understand the origin of the exothermic reaction, in this study, the precipitated crystalline phase of LPS glass in the NMC-LPS composite was examined. In situ TEM observations revealed that the ?-Li3PS4 precipitated at approximately 200?°C, and then Li4P2S6 and Li2S precipitated at approximately 400?°C. Because the Li4P2S6 and Li2S crystalline phases do not precipitate in the single LPS glass, the interfacial contact between LPS and NMC has a significant influence on both the LPS crystallization behavior and the exothermal reaction in the NMC-LPS composites.

High Efficient and Environment Friendly Plasma-Enhanced Synthesis of Al2O3-Coated LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 With Excellent Electrochemical Performance.

Project description:PLA-1-Al2O3@LNCM synthesized using an efficient and facile plasma-enhanced method exhibits markedly improved capacity retention of 98.6% after 100 cycles, which is much larger than that of LNCM at 80% after 100 cycles. What is more, it also exhibits significantly enhanced cyclicity compared to that of 1-Al2O3@LNCM cathodes prepared using the normal solid state method, which further illustrates the efficiency and superiority of this plasma-enhanced method. More importantly, the rate performance of PLA-1-Al2O3@LNCM is improved because of the better electrolyte storage of the assembled hierarchical architecture of the Al2O3 coating layer according to unimpeded Li+ diffusion from electrode to electrolyte. When cycling at 55°C, the PLA-1-Al2O3@LNCM shows 93.6% capacity retention after 100 cycles, which is greatly enhanced due to the uniform Al2O3 layer. Further, growth of polarization impedance during cycling can be effectively suppressed by the Al2O3 layer, which can further confirm the effect the Al2O3 layer coated on the surface of the LNCM. The enhanced cycling performance and thermal stability illustrates that this facile surface modification, using the plasma-enhanced method, can form an effective structured coating layer, which indicates its prospects as an application in the modification of other electrode materials.

The Effect of Excessive Sulfate in the Li-Ion Battery Leachate on the Properties of Resynthesized Li[Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3]O2.

Project description:In order to examine the effect of excessive sulfate in the leachate of spent Li-ion batteries (LIBs), LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 (pristine NCM) and sulfate-containing LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 (NCMS) are prepared by a co-precipitation method. The crystal structures, morphology, surface species, and electrochemical performances of both cathode active materials are studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and charge-discharge tests. The XRD patterns and XPS results identify the presence of sulfate groups on the surface of NCMS. While pristine NCM exhibits a very dense surface in SEM images, NCMS has a relatively porous surface, which could be attributed to the sulfate impurities that hinder the growth of primary particles. The charge-discharge tests show that discharge capacities of NCMS at C-rates, which range from 0.1 to 5 C, are slightly decreased compared to pristine NCM. In dQ/dV plots, pristine NCM and NCMS have the same redox overvoltage regardless of discharge C-rates. The omnipresent sulfate due to the sulfuric acid leaching of spent LIBs has a minimal effect on resynthesized NCM cathode active materials as long as their precursors are adequately washed.

A porous 3D-RGO@MWCNT hybrid material as Li-S battery cathode.

Project description:In this work, a unique three-dimensional (3D) structured carbon-based composite was synthesized. In the composite, multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) form a lattice matrix in which porous spherical reduced graphene oxide (RGO) completes the 3D structure. When used in Li-S batteries, the 3D porous lattice matrix not only accommodates a high content of sulfur, but also induces a confinement effect towards polysulfide, and thereby reduces the "shuttle effect". The as-prepared S-3D-RGO@MWCNT composite delivers an initial specific capacity of 1102 mAh·g-1. After 200 charging/discharge cycles, a capacity of 805 mAh·g-1 and a coulombic efficiency of 98% were maintained, implying the shuttle effect was greatly suppressed by the composite matrix. In addition, the S-3D-RGO@MWCNT composite also exhibits an excellent rate capability.

Porous perovskite LaNiO3 nanocubes as cathode catalysts for Li-O2 batteries with low charge potential.

Project description:Developing efficient catalyst for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is essential for rechargeable Li-O2 battery. In our present work, porous LaNiO3 nanocubes were employed as electrocatalyst in Li-O2 battery cell. The as-prepared battery showed excellent charging performance with significantly reduced overpotential (3.40 V). The synergistic effect of porous structure, large specific surface area and high electrocatalytic activity of porous LaNiO3 nanocubes ensured the Li-O2 battery with enchanced capacity and good cycle stability. Furthermore, it was found that the lithium anode corrosion and cathode passivation were responsible for the capacity fading of Li-O2 battery. Our results indicated that porous LaNiO3 nanocubes represent a promising cathode catalyst for Li-O2 battery.

Fabrication and electrochemical performance of 0.6Li2MnO3-0.4Li(Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3)O2 microspheres by two-step spray-drying process.

Project description:0.6Li2MnO3-0.4Li(Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3)O2 composite microspheres with dense structures are prepared by a two-step spray-drying process. Precursor powders with hollow and porous structures prepared by the spray-drying process are post-treated at a low temperature of 400 °C and then wet-milled to obtain a slurry with high stability. The slurry of the mixture of metal oxides is spray-dried to prepare precursor aggregate powders several microns in size. Post-treatment of these powders at high temperatures (>700 °C) produces 0.6Li2MnO3-0.4 Li(Ni1/3 Co1/3 Mn1/3)O2 composite microspheres with dense structures and high crystallinity. The mean size and geometric standard deviation of the composite microspheres post-treated at 900 °C are 4 ?m and 1.38, respectively. Further, the initial charge capacities of the aggregated microspheres post-treated at 700, 800, 900, and 1000 °C are 336, 349, 383, and 128 mA h g(-1), respectively, and the corresponding discharge capacities are 286, 280, 302, and 77 mA h g(-1), respectively. The discharge capacity of the composite microspheres post-treated at an optimum temperature of 900 °C after 100 cycles is 242 mA h g(-1), and the corresponding capacity retention is 80%.

Design of a Porous Cathode for Ultrahigh Performance of a Li-ion Battery: An Overlooked Pore Distribution.

Project description:Typical cathode materials of Li-ion battery suffer from a severe loss in specific capacity, and this problem is regarded as a major obstacle in the expansion of newer applications. To overcome this, porous cathodes are being extensively utilized. However, although it seems that the porosity in the cathode would be a panacea for high performance of LIBs, there is a blind point in the cathode consisting of porous structures, which makes the porous design to be a redundant. Here, we report the importance of designing the porosity of a cathode in obtaining ultrahigh performance with the porous design or a degraded performance even with increase of porosity. Numerical simulations show that the cathode with 40% porosity has 98% reduction in the loss of specific capacity when compared to the simple spherical cathode when the C-rate increases from 2.5 to 80?C. In addition, the loss over total cycles decreases from 30% to only about 1% for the cathode with 40% porosity under 40?C. Interestingly, however, the specific capacity could be decreased even with the increase in porosity unless the pores were evenly distributed in the cathode. The present analysis provides an important insight into the design of ultrahigh performance cathodes.

Multishelled Ni-Rich Li(Ni x Co y Mn z )O2 Hollow Fibers with Low Cation Mixing as High-Performance Cathode Materials for Li-Ion Batteries.

Project description:A simple seaweed biomass conversion strategy is proposed to synthesize highly porous multishelled Ni-rich Li(Ni x Co y Mn z )O2 hollow fibers with very low cation mixing. The low cation mixing results from the cation confinement by the novel "egg-box" structure in the alginate template. These hollow fibers exhibit remarkable energy density, high-rate capacity, and long-term cycling stability when used as cathode material for Li-ion batteries.

Revisiting the Na2/3Ni1/3Mn2/3O2 Cathode: Oxygen Redox Chemistry and Oxygen Release Suppression.

Project description:Sodium layered transition metal oxides have been considered as promising cathode materials for sodium ion batteries due to their large capacity and high operating voltage. However, mechanism investigations of chemical evolution and capacity failure at high voltage are inadequate. As a representative cathode, Na2/3Ni1/3Mn2/3O2, the capacity contribution at a 4.2 V plateau has long been assigned to the redox of the Ni3+/Ni4+ couple, while at the same time it suffers large irreversible capacity loss during the initial discharging process. In this work, we prove that the capacity at the 4.2 V plateau is contributed to the irreversible O2-/O2 n-/O2 evolution based on in situ differential electrochemical mass spectrometry and density functional theory calculation results. Besides, a phenomenon of oxygen release and subsequent surface lattice densification is observed, which is responsible for the large irreversible capacity loss during the initial cycle. Furthermore, the oxygen release is successfully suppressed by Fe substitution due to the formation of a unique Fe-(O-O) species, which effectively stabilizes the reversibility of the O2-/O2 n- redox at high operating voltage. Our findings provide a new understanding of the chemical evolution in layered transition metal oxides at high operating voltage. Increasing the covalency of the TM-O bond has been proven to be effective in suppressing the oxygen release and hence improving the electrochemical performance.
