Transport Properties of Flexible Composite Electrolytes Composed of Li_1.5Al_0.5Ti_1.5(PO₄)₃ and a Poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) Gel Containing a Highly Concentrated Li[N(SO₂CF₃)₂]/Sulfolane Electrolyte.

ABSTRACT: Flexible solid-state electrolyte membranes are beneficial for feasible construction of solid-state batteries. In this study, a flexible composite electrolyte was prepared by combining a Li⁺-ion-conducting solid electrolyte Li_1.5Al_0.5Ti_1.5(PO₄)₃ (LATP) and a poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) gel containing a highly concentrated electrolyte of Li[N(SO₂CF₃)₂] (LiTFSA)/sulfolane using a solution casting method. We successfully demonstrated the operation of Li/LiCoO₂ cells with the composite electrolyte; however, the rate capability of the cell degraded with increasing LATP content. We investigated the Li-ion transport properties of the composite electrolyte and found that the gel formed a continuous phase in the composite electrolyte and Li-ion conduction mainly occurred in the gel phase. Solid-state ⁶Li magic-angle spinning NMR measurements for LATP treated with the ⁶LiTFSA/sulfolane electrolyte suggested that the Li⁺-ion exchange occurred at the interface between LATP and ⁶LiTFSA/sulfolane. However, the kinetics of Li⁺ transfer at the interface between LATP and the PVDF-HFP gel was relatively slow. The interfacial resistance of LATP/gel was evaluated to be 67 Ω·cm² at 30 °C, and the activation energy for interfacial Li⁺ transfer was 39 kJ mol^-1. The large interfacial resistance caused the less contribution of LATP particles to the Li-ion conduction in the composite electrolyte.

Magnetic properties of the complex concentrated alloy system CoFeNi0.5Cr0.5Alx.

Project description:We study the change in magnetisation with paramagnetic Al addition in the CoFeNi0.5Cr0.5-Alx (x: 0, 0.5, 1, and 1.5) complex concentrated alloy. The compositions were developed utilising the Mulliken electronegativity and d-electron/atom ratio. Spherical FeCr rich nanoprecipitates are observed for X: 1.0 and 1.5 in an AlCoNi-rich matrix. A ~ 5 × increase in magnetisation (from 22 to 96 Am2/kg) coincides with this nanoprecipitate formation-the main magnetic contribution is determined to be from FeCr nanoprecipitates. The magnetisation increase is strange as paramagnetic Al addition dilutes the ferromagnetic Fe/Co/Ni additions. In this paper we discuss the magnetic and structural characterisation of the CoFeNi0.5Cr0.5-Alx composition and attempt to relate it to the interfacial energy.

Rapid Low-Dimensional Li+ Ion Hopping Processes in Synthetic Hectorite-Type Li0.5[Mg2.5Li0.5]Si4O10F2.

Project description:Understanding the origins of fast ion transport in solids is important to develop new ionic conductors for batteries and sensors. Nature offers a rich assortment of rather inspiring structures to elucidate these origins. In particular, layer-structured materials are prone to show facile Li+ transport along their inner surfaces. Here, synthetic hectorite-type Li0.5[Mg2.5Li0.5]Si4O10F2, being a phyllosilicate, served as a model substance to investigate Li+ translational ion dynamics by both broadband conductivity spectroscopy and diffusion-induced 7Li nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spin-lattice relaxation experiments. It turned out that conductivity spectroscopy, electric modulus data, and NMR are indeed able to detect a rapid 2D Li+ exchange process governed by an activation energy as low as 0.35 eV. At room temperature, the bulk conductivity turned out to be in the order of 0.1 mS cm-1. Thus, the silicate represents a promising starting point for further improvements by crystal chemical engineering. To the best of our knowledge, such a high Li+ ionic conductivity has not been observed for any silicate yet.

The composite with improved electronic conductivity and ion diffusivity presents an ultrahigh reversible specific capacity of 193 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C, and an excellent cycling stability of 93% capacity retention after 100 cycles at 1 C when applied as a cathode material for Li-ion batteries (LIBs). Additionally, the composite fine powders exhibit a special microstructure and its volumetric energy density is estimated to reach 1605 Wh L-1, much larger than the commercial LiFePO4.

Composition-structure relationships in the Li-ion battery electrode material LiNi(0.5)Mn(1.5)O(4).

Project description:A study of the correlations between the stoichiometry, secondary phases and transition metal ordering of LiNi(0.5)Mn(1.5)O(4) was undertaken by characterizing samples synthesized at different temperatures. Insight into the composition of the samples was obtained by electron microscopy, neutron diffraction and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. In turn, analysis of cationic ordering was performed by combining neutron diffraction with Li MAS NMR spectroscopy. Under the conditions chosen for the synthesis, all samples systematically showed an excess of Mn, which was compensated by the formation of a secondary rock salt phase and not via the creation of oxygen vacancies. Local deviations from the ideal 3:1 Mn:Ni ordering were found, even for samples that show the superlattice ordering by diffraction, with different disordered schemes also being possible. The magnetic behavior of the samples was correlated with the deviations from this ideal ordering arrangement. The in-depth crystal-chemical knowledge generated was employed to evaluate the influence of these parameters on the electrochemical behavior of the materials.

Fabrication of Fluorite-Type Fluoride Ba0.5Bi0.5F2.5 Thin Films by Fluorination of Perovskite BaBiO3 Precursors with Poly(vinylidene fluoride).

Project description:Metal fluorides are gathering significant interest for use in many applications, such as optical glasses, chemical sensors, and solid electrolytes using fluoride ion batteries, due to their high transparency over a wide wavelength range (ultraviolet to infrared) and fast fluoride ion conductivity. Here, we present a topotactic route for synthesizing thin films of fluorite-type Ba0.5Bi0.5F2.5 (BBF), a promising fluoride ion conductor, from perovskite-type BaBiO3 (BBO) precursor films by fluorination using poly(vinylidene fluoride). The fluorination reaction fully converted BBO to BBF without stopping at the oxyfluoride stage. The BBF films obtained at relatively low reaction temperatures (150-200 °C) showed Ba/Bi cation ordering in the [001] direction, indicating that the cation framework of perovskite BBO was maintained during the fluorination reaction. Meanwhile, increasing the fluorination temperature led to mixtures of cations, resulting in random distribution of Ba and Bi. This demonstrates that the degree of cation ordering in BBF can be controlled by adjusting the fluorination temperature.

High-performance spinel-rich Li1.5MnTiO4+δ ultralong nanofibers as cathode materials for Li-ion batteries.

Project description:Recently, composite materials based on Li-Mn-Ti-O system were developed to target low cost and environmentally benign cathodes for Li-ion batteries. The spinel-layered Li1.5MnTiO4+δ bulk particles showed excellent cycle stability but poor rate performance. To address this drawback, ultralong nanofibers of a Li1.5MnTiO4+δ spinel-layered heterostructure were synthesized by electrospinning. Uniform nanofibers with diameters of about 80 nm were formed of tiny octahedral particles wrapped together into 30 μm long fibers. The Li1.5MnTiO4+δ nanofibers exhibited an improved rate capability compared to both Li1.5MnTiO4+δ nanoparticles and bulk particles. The uniform one-dimensional nanostructure of the composite cathode exhibited enhanced capacities of 235 and 170 mAh g-1 at C/5 and 1 C rates, respectively. Its unique structure provided a large effective contact area for Li+ diffusion, and low charge transfer resistance. Moreover, the layered phase contributed to its capacity in over 3 V region, which increased specific energy (726 Wh kg-1) compared to the bulk particles (534 Wh kg-1).

Defects and dopant properties of Li3V2(PO4)3.

Project description:Polyanion phosphate based Li3V2(PO4)3 material has attracted considerable attention as a novel cathode material for potential use in rechargeable lithium ion batteries. The defect chemistry and dopant properties of this material are studied using well-established atomistic scale simulation techniques. The most favourable intrinsic defect process is the Li Frenkel (0.45?eV/defect) ensuring the formation of Li vacancies required for Li diffusion via the vacancy mechanism. Long range lithium paths via the vacancy mechanism were constructed and it is confirmed that the lowest activation energy of migration (0.60?eV) path is three dimensional with curved trajectory. The second most stable defect energy process is calculated to be the anti-site defect, in which Li and V ions exchange their positions (0.91?eV/defect). Tetravalent dopants were considered on both V and P sites in order to form Li vacancies needed for Li diffusion and the Li interstitials to increase the capacity respectively. Doping by Zr on the V site and Si on the P site are calculated to be energetically favourable.

Near ideal synaptic functionalities in Li ion synaptic transistor using Li3POxSex electrolyte with high ionic conductivity.

Project description:All solid-state lithium-ion transistors are considered as promising synaptic devices for building artificial neural networks for neuromorphic computing. However, the slow ionic conduction in existing electrolytes hinders the performance of lithium-ion-based synaptic transistors. In this study, we systematically explore the influence of ionic conductivity of electrolytes on the synaptic performance of ionic transistors. Isovalent chalcogenide substitution such as Se in Li3PO4 significantly reduces the activation energy for Li ion migration from 0.35 to 0.253 eV, leading to a fast ionic conduction. This high ionic conductivity allows linear conductance switching in the LiCoO2 channel with several discrete nonvolatile states and good retention for both potentiation and depression steps. Consequently, optimized devices demonstrate the smallest nonlinearity ratio of 0.12 and high on/off ratio of 19. However, Li3PO4 electrolyte (with lower ionic conductivity) shows asymmetric and nonlinear weight-update characteristics. Our findings show that the facilitation of Li ionic conduction in solid-state electrolyte suggests potential application in artificial synapse device development.

In Situ Li3PO4/PVA Solid Polymer Electrolyte Protective Layer Stabilizes the Lithium Metal Anode.

Project description:A lithium metal anode is regarded as the most promising anode material for the next generation of high-energy density batteries because of its high specific capacity and low reduction potential. However, dendritic deposition and severe side reactions in continuous Li plating/stripping inevitably hinder the practical application of Li metal batteries. A solid polymer electrolyte protective layer with synergistic Li3PO4/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) features is in situ constructed on a lithium metal anode to obtain a stable interface during charge/discharge cycles. The protective layer can adapt to volume changes and inhibit lithium dendrites. The in situ reaction guaranteed the uniformity of ion transport and a tight interface between the protective layer and the lithium metal, so that the lithium deposition behavior was effectively regulated. The PP-Li anode presented a stable Li plating/stripping for 1000 h in a symmetrical cell system and exhibited an enhanced performance of the lithium titanium oxide cell. The in situ Li3PO4/PVA solid polymer electrolyte protective layer provided a promising strategy to tackle the challenges raised by the intrinsic properties of the lithium metal anode.
