A universal strategy towards high-energy aqueous multivalent-ion batteries.

ABSTRACT: Rechargeable multivalent metal (e.g., Ca, Mg or, Al) batteries are ideal candidates for large-scale electrochemical energy storage due to their intrinsic low cost. However, their practical application is hampered by the low electrochemical reversibility, dendrite growth at the metal anodes, sluggish multivalent-ion kinetics in metal oxide cathodes and, poor electrode compatibility with non-aqueous organic-based electrolytes. To circumvent these issues, here we report various aqueous multivalent-ion batteries comprising of concentrated aqueous gel electrolytes, sulfur-containing anodes and, high-voltage metal oxide cathodes as alternative systems to the non-aqueous multivalent metal batteries. This rationally designed aqueous battery chemistry enables satisfactory specific energy, favorable reversibility and improved safety. As a demonstration model, we report a room-temperature calcium-ion/sulfur| |metal oxide full cell with a specific energy of 110 Wh kg^-1 and remarkable cycling stability. Molecular dynamics modeling and experimental investigations reveal that the side reactions could be significantly restrained through the suppressed water activity and formation of a protective inorganic solid electrolyte interphase. The unique redox chemistry of the multivalent-ion system is also demonstrated for aqueous magnesium-ion/sulfur||metal oxide and aluminum-ion/sulfur||metal oxide full cells.

High-Voltage Aqueous Magnesium Ion Batteries.

Project description:Nonaqueous rechargeable magnesium (Mg) batteries suffer from the complicated and moisture-sensitive electrolyte chemistry. Besides electrolytes, the practicality of a Mg battery is also confined by the absence of high-performance electrode materials due to the intrinsically slow Mg2+ diffusion in the solids. In this work, we demonstrated a rechargeable aqueous magnesium ion battery (AMIB) concept of high energy density, fast kinetics, and reversibility. Using a superconcentration approach we expanded the electrochemical stability window of the aqueous electrolyte to 2.0 V. More importantly, two new Mg ion host materials, Li superconcentration approach we expanded the electrochemical stability window of the aqueous electrolyte to 2.0 V. More importantly, two new Mg ion host materials, Li3V2(PO4)3 and poly pyromellitic dianhydride, were developed and employed as cathode and anode electrodes, respectively. Based on comparisons of the aqueous and nonaqueous systems, the role of water is identified to be critical in the Mg ion mobility in the intercalation host but remaining little detrimental to its non-diffusion controlled process. Compared with the previously reported Mg ion cell delivers an unprecedented high power density of 6400 W kg ion cell delivers an unprecedented high power density of 6400 W kg while retaining 92% of the initial capacity after 6000 cycles, pushing the Mg ion cell to a brand new stage.

Nanosized and metastable molybdenum oxides as negative electrode materials for durable high-energy aqueous Li-ion batteries.

Project description:The development of inherently safe energy devices is a key challenge, and aqueous Li-ion batteries draw large attention for this purpose. Due to the narrow electrochemical stable potential window of aqueous electrolytes, the energy density and the selection of negative electrode materials are significantly limited. For achieving durable and high-energy aqueous Li-ion batteries, the development of negative electrode materials exhibiting a large capacity and low potential without triggering decomposition of water is crucial. Herein, a type of a negative electrode material (i.e., Li x Nb2/7Mo3/7O2) is proposed for high-energy aqueous Li-ion batteries. Li x Nb2/7Mo3/7O2 delivers a large capacity of ∼170 mA ⋅ h ⋅ g-1 with a low operating potential range of 1.9 to 2.8 versus Li/Li+ in 21 m lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide (LiTFSA) aqueous electrolyte. A full cell consisting of Li1.05Mn1.95O4/Li9/7Nb2/7Mo3/7O2 presents high energy density of 107 W ⋅ h ⋅ kg-1 as the maximum value in 21 m LiTFSA aqueous electrolyte, and 73% in capacity retention is achieved after 2,000 cycles. Furthermore, hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy study reveals that a protective surface layer is formed at the surface of the negative electrode, by which the high-energy and durable aqueous batteries are realized with Li x Nb2/7Mo3/7O2 This work combines a high capacity with a safe negative electrode material through delivering the Mo-based oxide with unique nanosized and metastable characters.

Nanostructured liquid-crystalline Li-ion conductors with high oxidation resistance: molecular design strategy towards safe and high-voltage-operation Li-ion batteries.

Project description:Nanostructured, uncharged liquid-crystalline (LC) electrolyte molecules having bicyclohexyl and cyclic carbonate moieties have been developed for application in Li-ion batteries as quasi-solid electrolytes, which suppress leakage and combustion. Towards the development of safe and high performance Li-ion batteries, we have designed Li-ion conductive LC materials with high oxidation resistance using density functional theory (DFT) calculation. The DFT calculation suggests that a mesogen with a bicyclohexyl moiety is suitable for the high-oxidation-resistance LC electrolytes compared to a mesogen containing phenylene moieties. A tri(oxyethylene) chain introduced between the cyclic carbonate and the bicyclohexyl moiety in the core part tunes the viscosity and the miscibility with Li salts. The designed Li-ion conductive LC molecules exhibit smectic LC phases over a wide temperature range, and they are miscible with added lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) salt up to 5 : 5 in molar ratio in their smectic phases. The resulting LC mixtures with LiTFSI show oxidation resistance above 4.0 V vs. Li/Li+ in cyclic voltammetry measurements. The enhanced oxidation resistance improves the performance of Li half-cells containing LC electrolytes.

High-Performance Aqueous Zinc-Ion Batteries Realized by MOF Materials.

Project description:Rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) have been gaining increasing interest for large-scale energy storage applications due to their high safety, good rate capability, and low cost. However, the further development of ZIBs is impeded by two main challenges: Currently reported cathode materials usually suffer from rapid capacity fading or high toxicity, and meanwhile, unstable zinc stripping/plating on Zn anode seriously shortens the cycling life of ZIBs. In this paper, metal-organic framework (MOF) materials are proposed to simultaneously address these issues and realize high-performance ZIBs with Mn(BTC) MOF cathodes and ZIF-8-coated Zn (ZIF-8@Zn) anodes. Various MOF materials were synthesized, and Mn(BTC) MOF was found to exhibit the best Zn2+-storage ability with a capacity of 112 mAh g-1. Zn2+ storage mechanism of the Mn(BTC) was carefully studied. Besides, ZIF-8@Zn anodes were prepared by coating ZIF-8 MOF material on Zn foils. Unique porous structure of the ZIF-8 coating guided uniform Zn stripping/plating on the surface of Zn anodes. As a result, the ZIF-8@Zn anodes exhibited stable Zn stripping/plating behaviors, with 8 times longer cycle life than bare Zn foils. Based on the above, high-performance aqueous ZIBs were constructed using the Mn(BTC) cathodes and the ZIF-8@Zn anodes, which displayed an excellent long-cycling stability without obvious capacity fading after 900 charge/discharge cycles. This work provides a new opportunity for high-performance energy storage system.

High-Energy-Density Rechargeable Lithium-Nickel Chloride Aqueous Solution Batteries.

Project description:High-energy-density rechargeable batteries with performance beyond that of lithium-ion batteries are required for next-generation electric vehicles. We propose a novel rechargeable battery with a lithium anode and a NiCl2 aqueous cathode that is separated Li1.4Al0.4Ge0.2Ti1.4(PO4)3 as a water-stable lithium-ion-conducting solid electrolyte. The cell was discharged up to 93% of the theoretical cathode capacity at 0.5 mA cm-2 and 25 °C. The calculated energy density, based on the weights of NiCl2 and Li, and the average discharge voltage of 2.4 V at 0.5 mA cm-2, was 852 Wh kg-1, which is more than twice as high as that of conventional lithium-ion batteries. The cell was successfully cycled for 50 cycles without any degradation of the charge and discharge voltages at 0.5 mA cm-2 and 25 °C for 5 h charge and 5 h discharge, where the utilization of NiCl2 was 80%.

Hybrid Aqueous/Organic Electrolytes Enable the High-Performance Zn-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Rechargeable aqueous zinc ion batteries (ZIBs) are considered as one of the most promising systems for large-scale energy storage due to their merits of low cost, environmental friendliness, and high safety. The utilization of aqueous electrolyte also brings about some problems such as low energy density, fast self-discharge, and capacity fading associated with the dissolution of metals in water. To combat the issues, we utilize a freestanding vanadium oxide hydrate/carbon nanotube (V2O5·nH2O/CNT) film as the cathode and probe the performance in aqueous/organic hybrid electrolytes. The corresponding structural and morphological evolution of both V2O5·nH2O/CNT cathode and Zn anode in different electrolytes is explored. The integrity of electrodes and the suppression of zinc dendrites during cycles are largely improved in the hybrid electrolytes. Accordingly, the battery in hybrid electrolyte exhibits high capacities of 549?mAh?g-1 at 0.5?A?g-1 after 100 cycles and 282?mAh?g-1 at 4?A?g-1 after 1000 cycles, demonstrating an excellent energy density of 102?Wh?kg-1 at a high power of 1500?W?kg-1 based on the cathode.

Li-rich Li-Si alloy as a lithium-containing negative electrode material towards high energy lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are generally constructed by lithium-including positive electrode materials, such as LiCoO2, and lithium-free negative electrode materials, such as graphite. Recently, lithium-free positive electrode materials, such as sulfur, are gathering great attention from their very high capacities, thereby significantly increasing the energy density of LIBs. Though the lithium-free materials need to be combined with lithium-containing negative electrode materials, the latter has not been well developed yet. In this work, the feasibility of Li-rich Li-Si alloy is examined as a lithium-containing negative electrode material. Li-rich Li-Si alloy is prepared by the melt-solidification of Li and Si metals with the composition of Li21Si5. By repeating delithiation/lithiation cycles, Li-Si particles turn into porous structure, whereas the original particle size remains unchanged. Since Li-Si is free from severe constriction/expansion upon delithiation/lithiation, it shows much better cyclability than Si. The feasibility of the Li-Si alloy is further examined by constructing a full-cell together with a lithium-free positive electrode. Though Li-Si alloy is too active to be mixed with binder polymers, the coating with carbon-black powder by physical mixing is found to prevent the undesirable reactions of Li-Si alloy with binder polymers, and thus enables the construction of a more practical electrochemical cell.

Secondary batteries with multivalent ions for energy storage.

Project description:The use of electricity generated from clean and renewable sources, such as water, wind, or sunlight, requires efficiently distributed electrical energy storage by high-power and high-energy secondary batteries using abundant, low-cost materials in sustainable processes. American Science Policy Reports state that the next-generation "beyond-lithium" battery chemistry is one feasible solution for such goals. Here we discover new "multivalent ion" battery chemistry beyond lithium battery chemistry. Through theoretic calculation and experiment confirmation, stable thermodynamics and fast kinetics are presented during the storage of multivalent ions (Ni(2+), Zn(2+), Mg(2+), Ca(2+), Ba(2+), or La(3+) ions) in alpha type manganese dioxide. Apart from zinc ion battery, we further use multivalent Ni(2+) ion to invent another rechargeable battery, named as nickel ion battery for the first time. The nickel ion battery generally uses an alpha type manganese dioxide cathode, an electrolyte containing Ni(2+) ions, and Ni anode. The nickel ion battery delivers a high energy density (340 Wh kg(-1), close to lithium ion batteries), fast charge ability (1 minute), and long cycle life (over 2200 times).

Computational Screening of Layered Materials for Multivalent Ion Batteries.

Project description:Batteries based on multivalent ion (such as Al3+, Ca2+, and Mg2+) intercalation materials have attracted extensive research interest due to their impressive capacity improvement and cost reduction compared with Li-ion batteries. However, the materials for state-of-the-art multivalent ion batteries still suffer from drawbacks such as sluggish ion mobility, poor rate performance, and low cyclic stability, bringing challenges for the design and investigation of new materials. Layered cathode materials are widely applied in current commercial batteries due to their outstanding ionic conductivity and structural stability, which may also hold the key for the cathodes of multivalent batteries. Therefore, combining database screening and density functional theory computations, we evaluated the layered compounds in Materials Project database by theoretical capacity, thermodynamic stability, experimental availability, voltage, volume variation, electronic conductivity, and ionic migration barrier and achieved over 20 kinds of layered cathode materials for multivalent batteries. Through Mg ion substitution for Ca sites, we further achieved several kinds of cathode materials for Mg-ion batteries with ideal stability, voltage, and ion diffusion barriers. We hope the methodology and screened materials could promote the development of multivalent ion batteries.
