Effect of Particle Size and Electronic Percolation on Low-Temperature Performance in Lithium Titanate-Based Batteries.

ABSTRACT: The effect of particle size and electronic percolation on low-temperature power performance in the lithium titanate (LTO) cell is reported. Particle size and carbon contents in negative electrodes are systematically controlled to understand ionic and electronic contribution. The LTO cell with a small particle size, that is, high surface area, showed superior power performance, while additional electronic percolation did not improve the performance at -30 °C when coupled with a lithium manganese spinel cathode. The results are supported by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements, which indicate that smaller LTO particles exhibit lower charge transfer-related impedance and guide rational design and fabrication of electrode architectures at low temperature.

Polymer-templated mesoporous lithium titanate microspheres for high-performance lithium batteries.

Project description:The spinel Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) is a promising lithium ion battery anode material with the potential to supplement graphite as an industry standard, but its low electrical conductivity and Li-ion diffusivity need to be overcome. Here, mesoporous LTO microspheres with carbon-coatings were formed by phase separation of a homopolymer from microphase-separated block copolymers of varying molar masses containing sol-gel precursors. Upon heating the composite underwent a sol-gel condensation reaction followed by the eventual pyrolysis of the polymer templates. The optimised mesoporous LTO microspheres demonstrated an excellent electrochemical performance with an excellent specific discharge capacity of 164 mA h g-1, 95% of which was retained after 1000 cycles at a C-rate of 10.

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.

Lithium titanate hydrates with superfast and stable cycling in lithium ion batteries.

Project description:Lithium titanate and titanium dioxide are two best-known high-performance electrodes that can cycle around 10,000 times in aprotic lithium ion electrolytes. Here we show there exists more lithium titanate hydrates with superfast and stable cycling. That is, water promotes structural diversity and nanostructuring of compounds, but does not necessarily degrade electrochemical cycling stability or performance in aprotic electrolytes. As a lithium ion battery anode, our multi-phase lithium titanate hydrates show a specific capacity of about 130 mA h g-1 at ~35 C (fully charged within ~100 s) and sustain more than 10,000 cycles with capacity fade of only 0.001% per cycle. In situ synchrotron diffraction reveals no 2-phase transformations, but a single solid-solution behavior during battery cycling. So instead of just a nanostructured intermediate to be calcined, lithium titanate hydrates can be the desirable final destination.Water is usually not favorable in high-voltage window aprotic electrolytes. Here the authors discover some lithium titanate hydrates that allow superior power rate and ultralong cycle life in aprotic electrolytes.

Lithium Titanate/Carbon Nanotubes Composites Processed by Ultrasound Irradiation as Anodes for Lithium Ion Batteries.

Project description:In this work, lithium titanate nanoparticles (nLTO)/single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) composite electrodes are prepared by the combination of an ultrasound irradiation and ultrasonic spray deposition methods. It was found that a mass fraction of 15% carbon nanotubes optimizes the electrochemical performance of nLTO electrodes. These present capacities as high as 173, 130, 110 and 70 mAh.g-1 at 0.1C, 1C, 10C and 100C, respectively. Moreover, after 1000 cycles at 1C, the nLTO/SWCNT composites present a capacity loss of just 9% and a Coulombic efficiency of 99.8%. Therefore, the presented methodology might be extended to other suitable active materials in order to manufacture binder free electrodes with optimal energy storage capabilities.

Hierarchically structured lithium titanate for ultrafast charging in long-life high capacity batteries.

Project description:High-performance Li-ion batteries require materials with well-designed and controlled structures on nanometre and micrometre scales. Electrochemical properties can be enhanced by reducing crystallite size and by manipulating structure and morphology. Here we show a method for preparing hierarchically structured Li4Ti5O12 yielding nano- and microstructure well-suited for use in lithium-ion batteries. Scalable glycothermal synthesis yields well-crystallized primary 4-8 nm nanoparticles, assembled into porous secondary particles. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveals presence of Ti+4 only; combined with chemical analysis showing lithium deficiency, this suggests oxygen non-stoichiometry. Electron microscopy confirms hierarchical morphology of the obtained material. Extended cycling tests in half cells demonstrates capacity of 170 mAh g-1 and no sign of capacity fading after 1,000 cycles at 50C rate (charging completed in 72 s). The particular combination of nanostructure, microstructure and non-stoichiometry for the prepared lithium titanate is believed to underlie the observed electrochemical performance of material.

Concentrated Ionic-Liquid-Based Electrolytes for High-Voltage Lithium Batteries with Improved Performance at Room Temperature.

Project description:Ionic liquids (ILs) have been widely explored as alternative electrolytes to combat the safety issues associated with conventional organic electrolytes. However, hindered by their relatively high viscosity, the electrochemical performances of IL-based cells are generally assessed at medium-to-high temperature and limited cycling rate. A suitable combination of alkoxy-functionalized cations with asymmetric imide anions can effectively lower the lattice energy and improve the fluidity of the IL material. The Li/Li1.2 Ni0.2 Mn0.6 O2 cell employing N-N-diethyl-N-methyl-N-(2-methoxyethyl)ammonium (fluorosulfonyl)(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (DEMEFTFSI)-based electrolyte delivered an initial capacity of 153?mAh?g-1 within the voltage range of 2.5-4.6?V, with a capacity retention of 65.5?% after 500?cycles and stable coulombic efficiencies exceeding 99.5?%. Moreover, preliminary battery tests demonstrated that the drawbacks in terms of rate capability could be improved by using Li-concentrated IL-based electrolytes. The improved room-temperature rate performance of these electrolytes was likely owing to the formation of Li+ -containing aggregate species, changing the concentration-dependent Li-ion transport mechanism.

Double-Layer Solid Composite Electrolytes Enabling Improved Room-Temperature Cycling Performance for High-Voltage Lithium Metal Batteries.

Project description:The development of solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) for high energy density lithium metal batteries (LMBs) usually needs to take into account of the interfacial compatibility against lithium metal and the electrolyte stability suitable for a high-potential cathode. In this study, through a facile two-step coating process, novel double-layer solid composite electrolytes (SCEs) with Janus characteristics are customized for the high-voltage LMBs with improved room-temperature cycling performance. Among which, high-voltage resistant poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) is adopted here for the construction of an electrolyte layer facing the cathode, while the other layer against the lithium anode is composed of the polymer matrix of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) blended with PVDF to obtain a lithium metal-friendly interface. With the further incorporation of Laponite clay, the PVDF/(PEO+PVDF)-L SCEs not only exhibit improved mechanical properties, but also achieve a highly increased ionic conductivity (5.2 × 10-4 S cm-1) and lithium ion migration number (0.471) at room temperature. The assembled NCM523|PVDF/(PEO+PVDF)-L SCEs|Li cells thus are able to deliver the initial discharge capacity of 153.9 mAh g-1 with 80.8% capacity retention after 200 cycles at 0.3 C. Such easily manufactured double-layer SCEs capable of operating steadily at room temperature provide a competitive electrolyte option for high-voltage solid-state LMBs.

Low-temperature all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries based on a di-cross-linked starch solid electrolyte.

Project description:The preparation of a low-temperature solid electrolyte is a challenge for the commercialization of the all-solid-state lithium-ion battery (ASSLIB). Here we report a starch-based solid electrolyte that displays phenomenal electrochemical properties below room temperature (RT). The starch host of the electrolyte is synthesized by two cross-linking reactions, which provide sufficient and orderly binding sites for the lithium salt to dissolve. At 25 °C, the solid electrolyte has exceptional ionic conductivity (σ, 3.10 × 10-4 S cm-1), lithium-ion transfer number (t +, 0.82) and decomposition potential (dP, 4.91 V). At -20 °C, it still has outstanding σ (3.10 × 10-5 S cm-1), t + (0.72) and dP (5.50 V). The LiFePO4 ASSLIB assembled with the electrolyte exhibits unique specific capacity and long cycling life below RT, and the LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 ASSLIB can operate at 4.3 V and 0 °C. This work provides a solution to solve the current challenges of ASSLIBs to widen their scope of applications.

Organic hydrogen peroxide-driven low charge potentials for high-performance lithium-oxygen batteries with carbon cathodes.

Project description:Reducing the high charge potential is a crucial concern in advancing the performance of lithium-oxygen batteries. Here, for water-containing lithium-oxygen batteries with lithium hydroxide products, we find that a hydrogen peroxide aqueous solution added in the electrolyte can effectively promote the decomposition of lithium hydroxide compounds at the ultralow charge potential on a catalyst-free Ketjen Black-based cathode. Furthermore, for non-aqueous lithium-oxygen batteries with lithium peroxide products, we introduce a urea hydrogen peroxide, chelating hydrogen peroxide without any water in the organic, as an electrolyte additive in lithium-oxygen batteries with a lithium metal anode and succeed in the realization of the low charge potential of ∼3.26 V, which is among the best levels reported. In addition, the undesired water generally accompanying hydrogen peroxide solutions is circumvented to protect the lithium metal anode and ensure good battery cycling stability. Our results should provide illuminating insights into approaches to enhancing lithium-oxygen batteries.

Fast lithium growth and short circuit induced by localized-temperature hotspots in lithium batteries.

Project description:Fast-charging and high-energy-density batteries pose significant safety concerns due to high rates of heat generation. Understanding how localized high temperatures affect the battery is critical but remains challenging, mainly due to the difficulty of probing battery internal temperature with high spatial resolution. Here we introduce a method to induce and sense localized high temperature inside a lithium battery using micro-Raman spectroscopy. We discover that temperature hotspots can induce significant lithium metal growth as compared to the surrounding lower temperature area due to the locally enhanced surface exchange current density. More importantly, localized high temperature can be one of the factors to cause battery internal shorting, which further elevates the temperature and increases the risk of thermal runaway. This work provides important insights on the effects of heterogeneous temperatures within batteries and aids the development of safer batteries, thermal management schemes, and diagnostic tools.
