Insights into Enhanced Capacitive Behavior of Carbon Cathode for Lithium Ion Capacitors: The Coupling of Pore Size and Graphitization Engineering.

ABSTRACT: The lack of methods to modulate intrinsic textures of carbon cathode has seriously hindered the revelation of in-depth relationship between inherent natures and capacitive behaviors, limiting the advancement of lithium ion capacitors (LICs). Here, an orientated-designed pore size distribution (range from 0.5 to 200 nm) and graphitization engineering strategy of carbon materials through regulating molar ratios of Zn/Co ions has been proposed, which provides an effective platform to deeply evaluate the capacitive behaviors of carbon cathode. Significantly, after the systematical analysis cooperating with experimental result and density functional theory calculation, it is uncovered that the size of solvated PF₆^- ion is about 1.5 nm. Moreover, the capacitive behaviors of carbon cathode could be enhanced attributed to the controlled pore size of 1.5-3 nm. Triggered with synergistic effect of graphitization and appropriate pore size distribution, optimized carbon cathode (Zn₉₀Co₁₀-APC) displays excellent capacitive performances with a reversible specific capacity of ~ 50 mAh g^-1 at a current density of 5 A g^-1. Furthermore, the assembly pre-lithiated graphite (PLG)//Zn₉₀Co₁₀-APC LIC could deliver a large energy density of 108 Wh kg^-1 and a high power density of 150,000 W kg^-1 as well as excellent long-term ability with 10,000 cycles. This elaborate work might shed light on the intensive understanding of the improved capacitive behavior in LiPF₆ electrolyte and provide a feasible principle for elaborate fabrication of carbon cathodes for LIC systems.

Caffeine-Derived Noble Carbons as Ball Milling-Resistant Cathode Materials for Lithium-Ion Capacitors.

Project description:Energy consumption is a growing phenomenon in our society causing many negative effects such as global warming. There is a need for the development of new sustainable materials for energy storage. Carbons are materials derivable from biowaste that can rather easily store energy due to their high conductivity and surface area. However, their large-scale processing is challenging as derived materials can be rather heterogeneous and homogenization requires ball milling, a process that can damage carbons in the process of oxidation. Herein, we have prepared caffeine-derived noble nitrogen-doped carbon that withstands the ball milling process without significant oxidation. Additionally, it performs extraordinarily as a cathode material for lithium-ion capacitors, making it an attractive biowaste-derived alternative to commercial heavy metal cathodes.

Twin boundary defect engineering improves lithium-ion diffusion for fast-charging spinel cathode materials.

Project description:Defect engineering on electrode materials is considered an effective approach to improve the electrochemical performance of batteries since the presence of a variety of defects with different dimensions may promote ion diffusion and provide extra storage sites. However, manipulating defects and obtaining an in-depth understanding of their role in electrode materials remain challenging. Here, we deliberately introduce a considerable number of twin boundaries into spinel cathodes by adjusting the synthesis conditions. Through high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy and neutron diffraction, the detailed structures of the twin boundary defects are clarified, and the formation of twin boundary defects is attributed to agminated lithium atoms occupying the Mn sites around the twin boundary. In combination with electrochemical experiments and first-principles calculations, we demonstrate that the presence of twin boundaries in the spinel cathode enables fast lithium-ion diffusion, leading to excellent fast charging performance, namely, 75% and 58% capacity retention at 5 C and 10 C, respectively. These findings demonstrate a simple and effective approach for fabricating fast-charging cathodes through the use of defect engineering.

Na0.76V6O15/Activated Carbon Hybrid Cathode for High-Performance Lithium-Ion Capacitors.

Project description:Lithium-ion hybrid capacitors (LICs) are regarded as one of the most promising next generation energy storage devices. Commercial activated carbon materials with low cost and excellent cycling stability are widely used as cathode materials for LICs, however, their low energy density remains a significant challenge for the practical applications of LICs. Herein, Na0.76V6O15 nanobelts (NaVO) were prepared and combined with commercial activated carbon YP50D to form hybrid cathode materials. Credit to the synergism of its capacitive effect and diffusion-controlled faradaic effect, NaVO/C hybrid cathode displays both superior cyclability and enhanced capacity. LICs were assembled with the as-prepared NaVO/C hybrid cathode and artificial graphite anode which was pre-lithiated. Furthermore, 10-NaVO/C//AG LIC delivers a high energy density of 118.9 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 220.6 W kg-1 and retains 43.7 Wh kg-1 even at a high power density of 21,793.0 W kg-1. The LIC can also maintain long-term cycling stability with capacitance retention of approximately 70% after 5000 cycles at 1 A g-1. Accordingly, hybrid cathodes composed of commercial activated carbon and a small amount of high energy battery-type materials are expected to be a candidate for low-cost advanced LICs with both high energy density and power density.

Li2SnO3 as a Cathode Material for Lithium-ion Batteries: Defects, Lithium Ion Diffusion and Dopants.

Project description:Tin-based oxide Li2SnO3 has attracted considerable interest as a promising cathode material for potential use in rechargeable lithium batteries due to its high- capacity. Static atomistic scale simulations are employed to provide insights into the defect chemistry, doping behaviour and lithium diffusion paths in Li2SnO3. The most favourable intrinsic defect type is Li Frenkel (0.75?eV/defect). The formation of anti-site defect, in which Li and Sn ions exchange their positions is 0.78?eV/defect, very close to the Li Frenkel. The present calculations confirm the cation intermixing found experimentally in Li2SnO3. Long range lithium diffusion paths via vacancy mechanisms were examined and it is confirmed that the lowest activation energy migration path is along the c-axis plane with the overall activation energy of 0.61?eV. Subvalent doping by Al on the Sn site is energetically favourable and is proposed to be an efficient way to increase the Li content in Li2SnO3. The electronic structure calculations show that the introduction of Al will not introduce levels in the band gap.

Ternary Cathode Blend Electrodes for Environmentally Friendly Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:The combination of two active materials into one positive electrode of a lithium-ion battery is an uncomplicated and cost-effective way to combine the advantages of different active materials while reducing the disadvantages of each material. In this work, the concept of binary blends is extended to ternary compositions. The combination of three different active materials provides high versatility in designing the properties of an electrode. Therefore, the unique properties of a layered oxide, phospho-olivine, and spinel type material are mixed to design a high-energy cathode with improved environmental friendliness. Four different compositions of blend electrodes are investigated, each with individual benefits. Synergistic effects improved the rate capability, power density, thermal and chemical stability simultaneously. The blend electrode consisting of 75 % NMC, 12.5 % LMFP and LMO provides similar energy and power density as a pure NMC electrode while economizing 25 % cobalt and nickel.

Manipulating size of Li3V2(PO4)3 with reduced graphene oxide: towards high-performance composite cathode for lithium ion batteries.

Project description:Lithium vanadium phosphate (Li3V2(PO4)3, LVP)/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composite is prepared with a rheological method followed by heat treatment. The size and interface of LVP particles, two important merits for a cathode material, can be effectively tuned by the rGO in the composite, which plays as surfactant to assist sol-gelation and simultaneously as conductive carbon coating. As a consequence, the composite with 7.0 ± 0.4 wt.% rGO shows a capacity of 141.6 mAh g(-1) at 0.075 C, and a rate capacity of 119.0 mAh g(-1) at 15 C with respect to the mass of LVP/rGO composite, and an excellent cycling stability that retains 98.7% of the initial discharge capacity after 50 cycles. The improved electrochemical performance is attributed to the well-controlled rGO content that yields synergic effects between LVP and rGO. Not only do the rGO sheets reduce the size of LVP particles that favor the Li(+) ion migration and the electron transfer during charging and discharging, but also contribute to the reversible lithium ions storage.

Project description:This review presents a survey of the literature on recent progress in lithium-ion batteries, with the active sub-micron-sized particles of the positive electrode chosen in the family of lamellar compounds LiMO₂, where M stands for a mixture of Ni, Mn, Co elements, and in the family of yLi₂MnO₃•(1 - y)LiNi½Mn½O₂ layered-layered integrated materials. The structural, physical, and chemical properties of these cathode elements are reported and discussed as a function of all the synthesis parameters, which include the choice of the precursors and of the chelating agent, and as a function of the relative concentrations of the M cations and composition y. Their electrochemical properties are also reported and discussed to determine the optimum compositions in order to obtain the best electrochemical performance while maintaining the structural integrity of the electrode lattice during cycling.

Recovery and Reuse of Composite Cathode Binder in Lithium Ion Batteries.

Project description:Here, we investigate the recovery and reuse of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) binders from both homemade and commercial cathode films in Li ion batteries. We find that PVDF solubility depends on whether the polymer is an isolated powder or cast into a composite film. A mixture of tetrahydrofuran:N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (THF : NMP, 50 : 50 v/v) at 90 °C delaminates composite cathodes from Al current collectors and yields pure PVDF as characterized by 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). PVDF recovered from Li ion cells post-cycling exhibits similar performance to pristine PVDF. These data suggest that PVDF can be extracted and reused during Li ion battery recycling while simultaneously eliminating the formation of HF etchants, providing an incentive for use in direct cathode recycling.

Activated carbons derived from coconut shells as high energy density cathode material for Li-ion capacitors.

Project description:In this manuscript, a dramatic increase in the energy density of ~ 69?Wh kg?¹ and an extraordinary cycleability ~ 2000 cycles of the Li-ion hybrid electrochemical capacitors (Li-HEC) is achieved by employing tailored activated carbon (AC) of ~ 60% mesoporosity derived from coconut shells (CS). The AC is obtained by both physical and chemical hydrothermal carbonization activation process, and compared to the commercial AC powders (CAC) in terms of the supercapacitance performance in single electrode configuration vs. Li. The Li-HEC is fabricated with commercially available Li?Ti?O?? anode and the coconut shell derived AC as cathode in non-aqueous medium. The present research provides a new routine for the development of high energy density Li-HEC that employs a mesoporous carbonaceous electrode derived from bio-mass precursors.

Capacitive Organic Anode Based on Fluorinated-Contorted Hexabenzocoronene: Applicable to Lithium-Ion and Sodium-Ion Storage Cells.

Project description:Conducting polymer-based organic electrochemical capacitor materials have attracted attention because of their highly conductive nature and highly reversible redox reactions on the surface of electrodes. However, owing to their poor stabilities in aprotic electrolytes, alternative organic electrochemical capacitive electrodes are being actively sought. Here, fluorine atoms are introduced into contorted hexabenzocoronene (cHBC) to achieve the first small-molecule-based organic capacitive energy-storage cells that operate at high current rates with satisfactory specific capacities of ≈160 mA h g-1 and superior cycle capabilities (>400) without changing significantly. This high capacitive behavior in the P21/c crystal phase of fluorinated cHBC (F-cHBC) is caused mainly by the fluorine atoms at the end of each peripheral aromatic ring. Combined Monte Carlo simulations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that the most electronegative fluorine atoms accelerate ion diffusion on the surface to promote fast Li+ ion uptake and release by an applied current. Moreover, F-cHBC has potential applications as the capacitive anode in Na-ion storage cells. The fast dynamics of its capacitive behavior allow it to deliver a specific capacity of 65 mA h g-1 at a high current of 4000 mA g-1.
