Anode interfacial layer formation via reductive ethyl detaching of organic iodide in lithium-oxygen batteries.

ABSTRACT: As soluble catalysts, redox mediators can reduce the high charging overpotential of lithium-oxygen batteries by providing sufficient liquid-solid interface for lithium peroxide decomposition. However, the redox mediators usually introduce undesirable reactions. In particular, the so-called "shuttle effect" leads to the loss of both the redox mediators and electrical energy efficiency. In this study, an organic compound, triethylsulfonium iodide, is found to act bifunctionally as both a redox mediator and a solid electrolyte interphase-forming agent for lithium-oxygen batteries. During charging, the organic iodide exhibits comparable lithium peroxide-oxidizing capability with inorganic iodides. Meanwhile, it in situ generates an interfacial layer on lithium anode via reductive ethyl detaching and the subsequent oxidation. This layer prevents the lithium anode from reacting with the redox mediators and allows efficient lithium-ion transfer leading to dendrite-free lithium anode. Significantly improved cycling performance has been achieved by the bifunctional organic iodide redox mediator.

Lithiophilic-lithiophobic gradient interfacial layer for a highly stable lithium metal anode.

Project description:The long-standing issue of lithium dendrite growth during repeated deposition or dissolution processes hinders the practical use of lithium-metal anodes for high-energy density batteries. Here, we demonstrate a promising lithiophilic-lithiophobic gradient interfacial layer strategy in which the bottom lithiophilic zinc oxide/carbon nanotube sublayer tightly anchors the whole layer onto the lithium foil, facilitating the formation of a stable solid electrolyte interphase, and prevents the formation of an intermediate mossy lithium corrosion layer. Together with the top lithiophobic carbon nanotube sublayer, this gradient interfacial layer can effectively suppress dendrite growth and ensure ultralong-term stable lithium stripping/plating. This strategy is further demonstrated to provide substantially improved cycle performance in copper current collector, 10?cm2 pouch cell and lithium-sulfur batteries, which, coupled with a simple fabrication process and wide applicability in various materials for lithium-metal protection, makes the lithiophilic-lithiophobic gradient interfacial layer a favored strategy for next-generation lithium-metal batteries.

Molecular regulation of electrolytes for enhancing anode interfacial stability in lithium-sulfur batteries.

Project description:We addressed the poor interfacial stability of the Li metal anode in Li-S batteries through molecular regulation of electrolytes using arylthiol additives with various numbers of anchoring sites. The dual functional tetrathiol additive markedly enhanced the Li anode interfacial stability, controlled the sulfur redox kinetics and suppressed side reactions towards polysulfides, thus leading to an improved capacity retention of 70% after 500 cycles at 1 C.

Gas-solid interfacial modification of oxygen activity in layered oxide cathodes for lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:Lattice oxygen can play an intriguing role in electrochemical processes, not only maintaining structural stability, but also influencing electron and ion transport properties in high-capacity oxide cathode materials for Li-ion batteries. Here, we report the design of a gas-solid interface reaction to achieve delicate control of oxygen activity through uniformly creating oxygen vacancies without affecting structural integrity of Li-rich layered oxides. Theoretical calculations and experimental characterizations demonstrate that oxygen vacancies provide a favourable ionic diffusion environment in the bulk and significantly suppress gas release from the surface. The target material is achievable in delivering a discharge capacity as high as 301?mAh?g(-1) with initial Coulombic efficiency of 93.2%. After 100 cycles, a reversible capacity of 300?mAh?g(-1) still remains without any obvious decay in voltage. This study sheds light on the comprehensive design and control of oxygen activity in transition-metal-oxide systems for next-generation Li-ion batteries.

Understanding the Effects of Interfacial Lithium Ion Concentration on Lithium Metal Anode.

Project description:Despite the development of multidimensional state-of-the-art electrode materials for constructing better lithium metal anodes (LMAs), the key factors influencing the electrochemical performance of LMAs are still poorly understood. Herein, it is demonstrated that the local lithium ion concentration at the interface between the electrode and electrolyte exerts significant influence on the electrochemical performance of LMAs. The local ion concentration is multiplied by introducing pseudocapacitive nanocarbons (PNCs) containing numerous heteroatoms, because PNCs can store large numbers of lithium ions in a pseudocapacitive manner, and promote the formation of an electrochemical double layer. The high interfacial lithium ion concentration induces the formation of lithium-rich inorganic solid-electrolyte-interface layers with high ionic conductivities, and facilitates sustainable and stable supplies of lithium ion charge carriers on the overall active surfaces of the PNCs. Accordingly, the PNC-induced LMA exhibits high Coulombic efficiencies, high rate capabilities, and stable cycling performance.

Lithium lanthanum titanate perovskite as an anode for lithium ion batteries.

Project description:Conventional lithium-ion batteries embrace graphite anodes which operate at potential as low as metallic lithium, subjected to poor rate capability and safety issues. Among possible alternatives, oxides based on titanium redox couple, such as spinel Li4Ti5O12, have received renewed attention. Here we further expand the horizon to include a perovskite structured titanate La0.5Li0.5TiO3 into this promising family of anode materials. With average potential of around 1.0?V vs. Li+/Li, this anode exhibits high specific capacity of 225?mA?h?g-1 and sustains 3000 cycles involving a reversible phase transition. Without decrease the particle size from micro to nano scale, its rate performance has exceeded the nanostructured Li4Ti5O12. Further characterizations and calculations reveal that pseudocapacitance dictates the lithium storage process and the favorable ion and electronic transport is responsible for the rate enhancement. Our findings provide fresh impetus to the identification and development of titanium-based anode materials with desired electrochemical properties.

Improvement of the Interface between the Lithium Anode and a Garnet-Type Solid Electrolyte of Lithium Batteries Using an Aluminum-Nitride Layer.

Project description:The next generation of all-solid-state batteries can feature battery safety that is unparalleled among conventional liquid batteries. The garnet-type solid-state electrolyte Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO), in particular, is widely studied because of its high Li-ion conductivity and stability in air. However, the poor interface-contact between Li and the electrolyte (garnet) severely limits the development of solid electrolytes. In this study, we synthesize cubic phase Li6.4La3Zr1.4Ta0.6O12 (LLZTO) using a secondary sintering method. In addition, a thin aluminum nitride (AlN) layer is introduced between the metal (Li) and the solid electrolyte. Theoretical calculations show that AlN has a high affinity for Li. Furthermore, it is shown that the AlN coating can effectively reduce the interface impedance between Li and the solid electrolyte and improve the lithium-ion transport. The assembled symmetric Li cells can operate stably for more than 3600 h, unlike the symmetric cells without AlN coating, which short-circuited after only a few cycles. The hybrid solid-state battery with a modified layer, which is assembled using LiFePO4 (LFP), still has a capacity of 120 mAh g-1 after 200 cycles, with a capacity retention rate of 98%. This shows that the introduction of an AlN interlayer is very helpful to obtain a stable Li/solid-electrolyte interface, which improves the cycling stability of the battery.

Plate-to-Layer Bi<sub>2</sub>MoO<sub>6</sub>/MXene-Heterostructured Anode for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Bi2MoO6 is a potentially promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) on account of its high theoretical capacity coupled with low desertion potential. Due to low conductivity and large volume expansion/contraction during charge/discharge cycling of Bi2MoO6, effective modification is indispensable to address these issues. In this study, a plate-to-layer Bi2MoO6/Ti3C2Tx (MXene) heterostructure is proposed by electrostatic assembling positive-charged Bi2MoO6 nanoplates on negative-charged MXene nanosheets. MXene nanosheets in the heterostructure act as a highly conductive substrate to load and anchor the Bi2MoO6 nanoplates, so as to improve electronic conductivity and structural stability. When the mass ratio of MXene is optimized to 30%, the Bi2MoO6/MXene heterostructure exhibits high specific capacities of 692 mAh g-1 at 100 mA g-1 after 200 cycles and 545.1 mAh g-1 with 99.6% coulombic efficiency at 1 A g-1 after 1000 cycles. The results provide not only a high-performance lithium storage material, but also an effective strategy that could address the intrinsic issues of various transition metal oxides by anchoring them on MXene nanosheets to form heterostructures and use as anode materials for LIBs.

Methods to Improve Lithium Metal Anode for Li-S Batteries.

Project description:The lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery has received a lot of attention because it is characterized by high theoretical energy density (2,600 Wh/kg) and low cost. Though many works on the "shuttle effect" of polysulfide have been investigated, lithium metal anode is a more challenging problem, which leads to a short life, low coulombic efficiency, and safety issues related to dendrites. As a result, the amelioration of lithium metal anode is an important means to improve the performance of lithium sulfur battery. In this paper, improvement methods on lithium metal anode for lithium sulfur batteries, including adding electrolyte additives, using solid, and/or gel polymer electrolyte, modifying separators, applying a protective coating, and providing host materials for lithium deposition, are mainly reviewed. In addition, some challenging problems, and further promising directions are also pointed out for future research and development of lithium metal for Li-S batteries.

Defective Ti2Nb10O27.1: an advanced anode material for lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:To explore anode materials with large capacities and high rate performances for the lithium-ion batteries of electric vehicles, defective Ti2Nb10O27.1 has been prepared through a facile solid-state reaction in argon. X-ray diffractions combined with Rietveld refinements indicate that Ti2Nb10O27.1 has the same crystal structure with stoichiometric Ti2Nb10O29 (Wadsley-Roth shear structure with A2/m space group) but larger lattice parameters and 6.6% O(2-) vacancies (vs. all O(2-) ions). The electronic conductivity and Li(+)ion diffusion coefficient of Ti2Nb10O27.1 are at least six orders of magnitude and ~2.5 times larger than those of Ti2Nb10O29, respectively. First-principles calculations reveal that the significantly enhanced electronic conductivity is attributed to the formation of impurity bands in Ti2Nb10O29-x and its conductor characteristic. As a result of the improvements in the electronic and ionic conductivities, Ti2Nb10O27.1 exhibits not only a large initial discharge capacity of 329 mAh g(-1) and charge capacity of 286 mAh g(-1) at 0.1 C but also an outstanding rate performance and cyclability. At 5 C, its charge capacity remains 180 mAh g(-1) with large capacity retention of 91.0% after 100 cycles, whereas those of Ti2Nb10O29 are only 90 mAh g(-1) and 74.7%.

Reaction Mechanism of the Sn2Fe Anode in Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Sn2Fe anode materials were synthesized by a solvothermal route, and their electrochemical performance and reaction mechanism were evaluated. The structural evolution in the first two lithium cycles was investigated by X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD), and magnetic studies. In the first cycle, progressive alloying of Sn with Li accompanied by metallic iron displacement occurs upon lithiation, and the delithiation proceeds by Li x Sn dealloying and recovery of the Sn2Fe phase. In the second cycle, both XRD and XAS identify Li-Sn alloying at earlier lithiation stages than in the first cycle, with low-Li-content alloys evident in the beginning of the lithiation process. In the fully lithiated state, XAS analysis reveals higher coordination numbers in both the Li x Sn and Fe phases, which points toward more complete reaction and higher crystallinity of the products. Upon second delithiation, the Sn2Fe phase is generally reformed as evidenced by XRD. However, XAS indicates somewhat reduced Sn-Fe coordination and shorter Fe-Fe distance, which indicates incomplete reconversion and metallic Fe retention, which is also evident in the magnetic studies. Thus, a combination of long-range (XRD, magnetic) and local (XAS) techniques has revealed differences between the first and the second Li cycles relevant to the understanding of the capacity fading mechanisms.
