Improving the Cycling Performance of Lithium-Ion Battery Si/Graphite Anodes Using a Soluble Polyimide Binder.

ABSTRACT: Herein, we improved the performance of Si/graphite (Si/C) composite anodes by introducing a highly adhesive co-polyimide (P84) binder and investigated the relationship between their electrochemical and adhesion properties using the 90° peel test and a surface and interfacial cutting analysis system. Compared to those of conventional poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVdF)-based electrodes, the cycling performance and rate capability of P84-based Si/C anodes were improved by 47.0% (372 vs 547 mAh g^-1 after 100 cycles at a 60 mA g^-1 discharge condition) and 33.4% (359 vs 479 mAh g^-1 after 70 cycles at a 3.0 A g^-1 discharge condition), respectively. Importantly, the P84-based electrodes exhibited less pronounced morphological changes and a smaller total cell resistance after cycling than the PVdF-based ones, also showing better interlayer adhesion (F _mid) and interfacial adhesion to Cu current collectors (F _inter).

Quantifying microstructural dynamics and electrochemical activity of graphite and silicon-graphite lithium ion battery anodes.

Project description:Despite numerous studies presenting advances in tomographic imaging and analysis of lithium ion batteries, graphite-based anodes have received little attention. Weak X-ray attenuation of graphite and, as a result, poor contrast between graphite and the other carbon-based components in an electrode pore space renders data analysis challenging. Here we demonstrate operando tomography of weakly attenuating electrodes during electrochemical (de)lithiation. We use propagation-based phase contrast tomography to facilitate the differentiation between weakly attenuating materials and apply digital volume correlation to capture the dynamics of the electrodes during operation. After validating that we can quantify the local electrochemical activity and microstructural changes throughout graphite electrodes, we apply our technique to graphite-silicon composite electrodes. We show that microstructural changes that occur during (de)lithiation of a pure graphite electrode are of the same order of magnitude as spatial inhomogeneities within it, while strain in composite electrodes is locally pronounced and introduces significant microstructural changes.

A conductive self healing polymeric binder using hydrogen bonding for Si anodes in lithium ion batteries.

Project description:A ureido-pyrimidinone (UPy)-functionalized poly(acrylic acid) grafted with poly(ethylene glycol)(PEG), designated PAU-g-PEG, was developed as a high performance polymer binder for Si anodes in lithium-ion batteries. By introducing both a ureido-pyrimidinone (UPy) unit, which is capable of self-healing through dynamic hydrogen bonding within molecules as well as with Si, and an ion-conducting PEG onto the side chain of the poly(acrylic acid), this water-based self-healable and conductive polymer binder can effectively accommodate the volume changes of Si, while maintaining electronic integrity, in an electrode during repeated charge/discharge cycles. The Si@PAU-g-PEG electrode retained a high capacity of 1,450.2 mAh g-1 and a Coulombic efficiency of 99.4% even after 350 cycles under a C-rate of 0.5 C. Under a high C-rate of 3 C, an outstanding capacity of 2,500 mAh g-1 was also achieved, thus demonstrating its potential for improving the electrochemical performance of Si anodes.

Engineering Bamboo Leaves Into 3D Macroporous Si@C Composites for Stable Lithium-Ion Battery Anodes.

Project description:Silicon is considered as the most promising candidate for anodes of next generation lithium-ion batteries owing to its natural abundance and low Li-uptake potential. Building a macroporous structure would alleviate the volume variation and particle fracture of silicon anodes during cycling. However, the common approaches to fabricate macroporous silicon are complex, costly, and high energy-consuming. Herein, bamboo leaves are used as a sustainable and abundant resource to produce macroporous silicon via a scalable magnesiothermic reduction method. The obtained silicon inherits the natural interconnected network from the BLs and the mesopores from the BL-derived silica are engineered into macropores by selective etching after magnesiothermic reduction. These unique structural advantages lead to superior electrochemical performance with efficient electron/ion transport and cycling stability. The macroporous Si@C composite anodes deliver a high capacity of 1,247.7 mAh g-1 after 500 cycles at a current density of 1.0 A g-1 with a remarkable capacity retention of 98.8% and average Coulombic efficiency as high as 99.52% for the same cycle period. Furthermore, the rate capabilities of the Si@C composites are enhanced by conformal carbon coating, which enables the anode to deliver a capacity of 538.2 mAh g-1 at a high current density of 4.0 A g-1 after 1,000 deep cycles. Morphology characterization verifies the structural integrity of the macroporous Si@C composite anodes. This work demonstrated herein provides a simple, economical, and scalable route for the industrial production of macroporous Si anode materials utilizing BLs as a sustainable source for high-performance LIBs.

Improving the cycling stability of lithium metal anodes through separator modification with nano-molybdenum powder.

Project description:The deposition of lithium ions in an uneven manner can lead to the formation of lithium dendrites, which can puncture the battery separator and cause a short circuit. Additionally, intermediate polysulfides can shuttle between the separator, resulting in damage to the capacity of lithium-sulfur batteries and corrosion of the negative electrode. It is crucial to address these issues promptly. Hence, we developed a modified separator using nano-molybdenum powder, which effectively inhibits the growth of lithium dendrites and suppresses the shuttle effect of polysulfides. The modified separator extends the lifetime of the lithium metal anode, and the uniform pore distribution of the molybdenum powder facilitates the uniform diffusion of Li+ ions, thereby slowing down the detrimental effects. As a result, Li-S cells equipped with the nano-molybdenum powder modified separator achieve a remarkable capacity of 802 mA h g-1 at a current density of 0.5C and maintain a capacity of up to 614 mA h g-1 after 200 cycles.

High Area Capacity Lithium-Sulfur Full-cell Battery with Prelitiathed Silicon Nanowire-Carbon Anodes for Long Cycling Stability.

Project description:We show full Li/S cells with the use of balanced and high capacity electrodes to address high power electro-mobile applications. The anode is made of an assembly comprising of silicon nanowires as active material densely and conformally grown on a 3D carbon mesh as a light-weight current collector, offering extremely high areal capacity for reversible Li storage of up to 9 mAh/cm(2). The dense growth is guaranteed by a versatile Au precursor developed for homogenous Au layer deposition on 3D substrates. In contrast to metallic Li, the presented system exhibits superior characteristics as an anode in Li/S batteries such as safe operation, long cycle life and easy handling. These anodes are combined with high area density S/C composite cathodes into a Li/S full-cell with an ether- and lithium triflate-based electrolyte for high ionic conductivity. The result is a highly cyclable full-cell with an areal capacity of 2.3 mAh/cm(2), a cyclability surpassing 450 cycles and capacity retention of 80% after 150 cycles (capacity loss <0.4% per cycle). A detailed physical and electrochemical investigation of the SiNW Li/S full-cell including in-operando synchrotron X-ray diffraction measurements reveals that the lower degradation is due to a lower self-reduction of polysulfides after continuous charging/discharging.

Underpotential lithium plating on graphite anodes caused by temperature heterogeneity.

Project description:Rechargeability and operational safety of commercial lithium (Li)-ion batteries demand further improvement. Plating of metallic Li on graphite anodes is a critical reason for Li-ion battery capacity decay and short circuit. It is generally believed that Li plating is caused by the slow kinetics of graphite intercalation, but in this paper, we demonstrate that thermodynamics also serves a crucial role. We show that a nonuniform temperature distribution within the battery can make local plating of Li above 0 V vs. Li0/Li+ (room temperature) thermodynamically favorable. This phenomenon is caused by temperature-dependent shifts of the equilibrium potential of Li0/Li+ Supported by simulation results, we confirm the likelihood of this failure mechanism during commercial Li-ion battery operation, including both slow and fast charging conditions. This work furthers the understanding of nonuniform Li plating and will inspire future studies to prolong the cycling lifetime of Li-ion batteries.

Recycling rice husks for high-capacity lithium battery anodes.

Project description:The rice husk is the outer covering of a rice kernel and protects the inner ingredients from external attack by insects and bacteria. To perform this function while ventilating air and moisture, rice plants have developed unique nanoporous silica layers in their husks through years of natural evolution. Despite the massive amount of annual production near 10(8) tons worldwide, so far rice husks have been recycled only for low-value agricultural items. In an effort to recycle rice husks for high-value applications, we convert the silica to silicon and use it for high-capacity lithium battery anodes. Taking advantage of the interconnected nanoporous structure naturally existing in rice husks, the converted silicon exhibits excellent electrochemical performance as a lithium battery anode, suggesting that rice husks can be a massive resource for use in high-capacity lithium battery negative electrodes.

Co-Crosslinked Water-Soluble Biopolymers as a Binder for High-Voltage LiNi0.5 Mn1.5 O4 |Graphite Lithium-Ion Full Cells.

Project description:The use of water-soluble, abundant biopolymers as binders for lithium-ion positive electrodes is explored because it represents a great step forward towards environmentally benign battery processing. However, to date, most studies that employ, for instance, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as a binder have focused on rather low electrode areal loadings with limited relevance for industrial needs. This study concerns the use of natural guar gum (GG) as a binding agent for cobalt-free, high-voltage LiNi0.5 Mn1.5 O4 (LNMO), which realizes electrodes with substantially increased areal loadings, low binder content, and greatly enhanced cycling stability. Co-crosslinking GG through citric acid with CMC allows for an enhanced rate capability and essentially maintains the beneficial impact of using GG as a binder rather than CMC only. Lithium-ion full cells based on water-processed LNMO and graphite electrodes provide a remarkably high cycling stability with 80 % capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 1 C.

Applications of Carbon Nanotubes for Lithium Ion Battery Anodes.

Project description:Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have displayed great potential as anode materials for lithium ion batteries (LIBs) due to their unique structural, mechanical, and electrical properties. The measured reversible lithium ion capacities of CNT-based anodes are considerably improved compared to the conventional graphite-based anodes. Additionally, the opened structure and enriched chirality of CNTs can help to improve the capacity and electrical transport in CNT-based LIBs. Therefore, the modification of CNTs and design of CNT structure provide strategies for improving the performance of CNT-based anodes. CNTs could also be assembled into free-standing electrodes without any binder or current collector, which will lead to increased specific energy density for the overall battery design. In this review, we discuss the mechanism of lithium ion intercalation and diffusion in CNTs, and the influence of different structures and morphologies on their performance as anode materials for LIBs.

General Strategy for Integrated SnO<sub>2</sub>/Metal Oxides as Biactive Lithium-Ion Battery Anodes with Ultralong Cycling Life.

Project description:Integration of bicomponents into a greater object or assemblage is a new avenue to acquire multifunctionality for metal oxide-based anodes for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Herein, we report a versatile means by which precursors serve as self-sacrificing templates to form architectures of SnO2 phase and other metal oxides. The vital challenge is the determination of appropriate synthetic system that can benefit the formation of respective precursors in a structure or single-source precursors of tin and other metal species. In the current work, by the aids of synergy action between l-proline and ethylene glycol (EG), precursors containing two metal ions are generally fabricated. Adequate flexibility of the present method has been achieved for SnO2/M x O y hierarchical hybrids, including Mn2O3, Co3O4, NiO, and Zn2SnO4, by calcination of their corresponding SnMn, SnCo, SnNi, and SnZn precursors, respectively. When evaluated as anode materials for LIBs, the obtained SnO2/Mn2O3 homogeneous hybrids, as expected, show higher specific capacity and ultralong cycling stability, gaining a reversible specific capacity of 610.3 mA h g-1 after 600 cycles with only decay of 0.29 mA h g-1 per cycle at 1 A g-1 and 487 mA h g-1 after 1001 cycles at a high current density of 2 A g-1.
