The Surface Coating of Commercial LiFePO₄ by Utilizing ZIF-8 for High Electrochemical Performance Lithium Ion Battery.

ABSTRACT: The requirement of energy-storage equipment needs to develop the lithium ion battery (LIB) with high electrochemical performance. The surface modification of commercial LiFePO₄ (LFP) by utilizing zeolitic imidazolate frameworks-8 (ZIF-8) offers new possibilities for commercial LFP with high electrochemical performances. In this work, the carbonized ZIF-8 (C_ZIF-8) was coated on the surface of LFP particles by the in situ growth and carbonization of ZIF-8. Transmission electron microscopy indicates that there is an approximate 10 nm coating layer with metal zinc and graphite-like carbon on the surface of LFP/C_ZIF-8 sample. The N₂ adsorption and desorption isotherm suggests that the coating layer has uniform and simple connecting mesopores. As cathode material, LFP/C_ZIF-8 cathode-active material delivers a discharge specific capacity of 159.3 mAh g^-1 at 0.1C and a discharge specific energy of 141.7 mWh g^-1 after 200 cycles at 5.0C (the retention rate is approximate 99%). These results are attributed to the synergy improvement of the conductivity, the lithium ion diffusion coefficient, and the degree of freedom for volume change of LFP/C_ZIF-8 cathode. This work will contribute to the improvement of the cathode materials of commercial LIB.

Effect of Heteroatom Doping on Electrochemical Properties of Olivine LiFePO4 Cathodes for High-Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4, LFP), an olivine-type cathode material, represents a highly suitable cathode option for lithium-ion batteries that is widely applied in electric vehicles and renewable energy storage systems. This work employed the ball milling technique to synthesize LiFePO4/carbon (LFP/C) composites and investigated the effects of various doping elements, including F, Mn, Nb, and Mg, on the electrochemical behavior of LFP/C composite cathodes. Our comprehensive work indicates that optimized F doping could improve the discharge capacity of the LFP/C composites at high rates, achieving 113.7 mAh g-1 at 10 C. Rational Nb doping boosted the cycling stability and improved the capacity retention rate (above 96.1% after 100 cycles at 0.2 C). The designed Mn doping escalated the discharge capacity of the LFP/C composite under a low temperature of -15 °C (101.2 mAh g-1 at 0.2 C). By optimizing the doping elements and levels, the role of doping as a modification method on the diverse properties of LFP/C cathode materials was effectively explored.

Simulation of electrochemical behavior in Lithium ion battery during discharge process.

Project description:An electrochemical Lithium ion battery model was built taking into account the electrochemical reactions. The polarization was divided into parts which were related to the solid phase and the electrolyte mass transport of species, and the electrochemical reactions. The influence factors on battery polarization were studied, including the active material particle radius and the electrolyte salt concentration. The results showed that diffusion polarization exist in the positive and negative electrodes, and diffusion polarization increase with the conducting of the discharge process. The physicochemical parameters of the Lithium ion battery had the huge effect on cell voltage via polarization. The simulation data show that the polarization voltage has close relationship with active material particle size, discharging rate and ambient temperature.

A Modified Ceramic-Coating Separator with High-Temperature Stability for Lithium-Ion Battery.

Project description:In this work, the ceramic coating separator (CCS-CS) prepared with polyethylene (PE) separator, Al₂O₃ inorganic particles, carboxymethyl cellulose sodium (CMC) and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) mix binders is further modified by coating with a thin polydopamine (PDA) layer through a simple chemical deposition method. Compared with the bare ceramic coating separator, the PDA-modified CCS-CS (CCS-CS-PDA) exhibits excellent thermal stability, which shows no thermal shrinkage after storing at 200 °C for 30 min. Compared with the PE separator, both the uptake and wettability with the electrolyte and water of CCS-CS-PDA are improved significantly. Meanwhile, when saturated with liquid electrolyte, the CCS-CS-PDA also shows enabled high ionic conductance. Furthermore, the test of the electrochemical impedances changing with the temperatures suggests that only the PE separator exhibits no thermal shutdown behaviors, and the CCS-CS separator only has a shutdown temperature range from 138 to 160 °C, while the CCS-CS-PDA shows a shutdown temperature range from 138 to more than 200 °C. The cells prepared with the CCS-CS-PDA also show stable repeated cycling performance and good rate capacity at room temperature.

Optimization of lithium content in LiFePO4 for superior electrochemical performance: the role of impurities.

Project description:Carbon coated Li x FePO4 samples with systematically varying Li-content (x = 1, 1.02, 1.05, 1.10) have been synthesized via a sol-gel route. The Li : Fe ratios for the as-synthesized samples is found to vary from ∼0.96 : 1 to 1.16 : 1 as determined by the proton induced gamma emission (PIGE) technique (for Li) and ICP-OES (for Fe). According to Mössbauer spectroscopy, sample Li1.05FePO4 has the highest content (i.e., ∼91.5%) of the actual electroactive phase (viz., crystalline LiFePO4), followed by samples Li1.02FePO4, Li1.1FePO4 and LiFePO4; with the remaining content being primarily Fe-containing impurities, including a conducting FeP phase in samples Li1.02FePO4 and Li1.05FePO4. Electrodes based on sample Li1.05FePO4 show the best electrochemical performance in all aspects, retaining ∼150 mA h g-1 after 100 charge/discharge cycles at C/2, followed by sample Li1.02FePO4 (∼140 mA h g-1), LiFePO4 (∼120 mA h g-1) and Li1.10FePO4 (∼115 mA h g-1). Furthermore, the electrodes based on sample Li1.05FePO4 retain ∼107 mA h g-1 even at a high current density of 5C. Impedance spectra indicate that electrodes based on sample Li1.05FePO4 possess the least charge transfer resistance, plausibly having influence from the compositional aspects. This low charge transfer resistance is partially responsible for the superior electrochemical behavior of that specific composition.

Systematic control of α-Fe2O3 crystal growth direction for improved electrochemical performance of lithium-ion battery anodes.

Project description:α-Fe2O3 nanomaterials with an elongated nanorod morphology exhibiting superior electrochemical performance were obtained through hydrothermal synthesis assisted by diamine derivatives as shape-controlling agents (SCAs) for application as anodes in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The physicochemical characteristics were investigated via XRD and FESEM, revealing well-crystallized α-Fe2O3 with adjustable nanorod lengths between 240 and 400 nm and aspect ratios in the range from 2.6 to 5.7. The electrochemical performance was evaluated by cyclic voltammetry and charge-discharge measurements. A SCA test series, including ethylenediamine, 1,2-diaminopropane, 2,3-diaminobutane, and N-methylethylenediamine, was implemented in terms of the impact on the nanorod aspect ratio. Varied substituents on the vicinal diamine structure were examined towards an optimized reaction center in terms of electron density and steric hindrance. Possible interaction mechanisms of the diamine derivatives with ferric species and the correlation between the aspect ratio and electrochemical performance are discussed. Intermediate-sized α-Fe2O3 nanorods with length/aspect ratios of ≈240 nm/≈2.6 and ≈280 nm/≈3.0 were found to have excellent electrochemical characteristics with reversible discharge capacities of 1086 and 1072 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C after 50 cycles.

A Facile Surface Reconstruction Mechanism toward Better Electrochemical Performance of Li4Ti5O12 in Lithium-Ion Battery.

Project description:Through a facile sodium sulfide (Na2S)-assisted hydrothermal treatment, clean and nondefective surfaces are constructed on micrometer-sized Li4Ti5O12 particles. The remarkable improvement of surface quality shows a higher first cycle Coulombic efficiency (?95%), a significantly enhanced cycling performance, and a better rate capability in electrochemical measurements. A combined study of Raman spectroscopy and inductive coupled plasma emission spectroscopy reveals that the evolution of Li4Ti5O12 surface in a water-based hydrothermal environment is a hydrolysis-recrystallization process, which can introduce a new phase of anatase-TiO2. While, with a small amount of Na2S (0.004 mol L-1 at least), the spinel-Li4Ti5O12 phase is maintained without a second phase. During this process, the alkaline environment created by Na2S and the surface adsorption of the sulfur-containing group (HS- or S2-) can suppress the recrystallization of anatase-TiO2 and renew the particle surfaces. This finding gives a better understanding of the surface-property relationship on Li4Ti5O12 and guidance on preparation and modification of electrode material other than coating or doping.

Co3ZnC@NC Material Derived from ZIF-8 for Lithium-Ion Capacitors.

Project description:Metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived carbon materials were widely reported as the anodes of lithium-ion capacitors (LICs). However, tunning the structure and electrochemical performance of the MOF-derived carbon materials is still challenging. Herein, metal carbide materials of Co3ZnC@NC-8:2 were obtained by the pyrolysis of the MOF materials of Co0.2Zn0.8ZIF-8 (Zn/Co ratio of 8:2). A half-cell assembled with the Co3ZnC@NC-8:2 electrode exhibits a discharge capacity of the electrode material of 598 mAh g-1 at a current density of 0.1 A g-1. After 100 cycles, the retention rate of discharge specific capacity is about 90%. The high performance of Co3ZnC@NC-8:2 is ascribed to its high crystalline degree and well-defined structure, which facilitates the intercalation/deintercalation of lithium ions and buffers the volume change during the charge/discharge process. The high capacitance contribution ratio calculated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) curves at different scanning rates indicates the pseudocapacitance storage mechanism. LICs constructed from the Co3ZnC@NC-8:2 material have a rectangular CV curve, while the charge-discharge curve has a symmetrical triangular shape. This study indicates that MOF-derived carbon is one of the promising materials for high-performance LICs.

Crystal alignment of a LiFePO4 cathode material for lithium ion batteries using its magnetic properties.

Project description:We suggest a way to control the crystal orientation of LiFePO4 using a magnetic field to obtain an advantageous structure for lithium ion conduction. We examined the magnetic properties of LiFePO4 such as magnetism and magnetic susceptibility, which are closely related to the crystal rotation in an external magnetic field, and considered how to use these properties for desired crystal orientation; thus, we successfully fabricated the crystal-aligned LiFePO4, in which the b-axis was highly aligned perpendicular to the surface of a current collector. Considering the low lithium ion conductivity of LiFePO4 inherently originated from its one-dimensional path for lithium ion diffusion, the crystal-aligned LiFePO4 potentially facilitates favorable transport kinetics for lithium ions during the charge/discharge process in lithium ion batteries. The crystal-aligned LiFePO4 should afford lower electrode polarization than pristine LiFePO4, and thus the former consistently exhibited higher reversible capacity than the latter.

Solvent-Free Solid-State Lithium Battery Based on LiFePO4 and MWCNT/PEO/PVDF-HFP for High-Temperature Applications.

Project description:Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have a wide range of applications but face challenges in harsh working or operating environments at high temperatures. In this work, a solid polymer electrolyte with MWCNT-COOH as an additive (MWCNT-SPE) was obtained. MWCNT-SPE has a high thermal stability and can be used in high-temperature operating environments. Solid-state lithium batteries based on MWCNT-SPE and LiFePO4 were assembled. The resulting lithium batteries exhibited excellent electrochemical properties at 70 and 120 °C, demonstrating a wide range of operations suitable for solid-state batteries with extreme demands. The symmetrical Li/MWCNT-SPE/Li cell operated for 1800 h with low polarization voltage and no short circuit, and the LiFePO4/MWCNT-SPE/Li cell delivered superior cycling performance under both 0.2 and 0.5 C-rates, indicating that the interface compatibility between the lithium metal and MWCNT-SPE membrane was good and could effectively suppress the formation of lithium dendrites. The superior performance of the resulting MWCNT-SPE was due to the weak interaction between PEO, PVDF-HFP, and MWCNT-COOH, which reduced the tendency of PEO's crystallinity and thereby significantly increased the Li+ migration ability and improved the cycling life of the batteries.

LiFePO4 Battery Material for the Production of Lithium from Brines: Effect of Brine Composition and Benefits of Dilution.

Project description:Lithium battery materials can be advantageously used for the selective sequestration of lithium ions from natural resources, which contain other cations in high excess. However, for practical applications, this new approach for lithium production requires the battery host materials to be stable over many cycles while retaining the high lithium selectivity. Here, a nearly symmetrical cell design was employed to show that LiFePO4 shows good capacity retention with cycling in artificial lithium brines representative of brines from Chile, Bolivia and Argentina. A quantitative correlation was identified between brine viscosity and capacity degradation, and for the first time it was demonstrated that the dilution of viscous brines with water significantly enhanced capacity retention and rate capability. The electrochemical and X-ray diffraction characterisation of the cycled electrodes also showed that the high lithium selectivity was preserved with cycling. Raman spectra of the cycled electrodes showed no signs of degradation of the carbon coating of LiFePO4 , while scanning electron microscopy images showed signs of particle cracking, thus pointing towards interfacial reactions as the cause of capacity degradation.
