Phase Transitions in the "Spinel-Layered" Li_1+xNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ (x = 0, 0.5, 1) Cathodes upon (De)lithiation Studied with Operando Synchrotron X-ray Powder Diffraction.

ABSTRACT: "Spinel-layered" Li_1+xNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ (x = 0, 0.5, 1) materials are considered as a cobalt-free alternative to currently used positive electrode (cathode) materials for Li-ion batteries. In this work, their electrochemical properties and corresponding phase transitions were studied by means of synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction (SXPD) in operando regime. Within the potential limit of 2.2-4.9 V vs. Li/Li⁺ LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ with cubic spinel type structure demonstrates the capacity of 230 mAh·g^-1 associated with three first-order phase transitions with significant total volume change of 8.1%. The Li₂Ni_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ material exhibits similar capacity value and subsequence of the phase transitions of the spinel phase, although the fraction of the spinel-type phase in this material does not exceed 30 wt.%. The main component of Li₂Ni_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ is Li-rich layered oxide Li(Li_0.28Mn_0.64Ni_0.08)O₂, which provides nearly half of the capacity with very small unit cell volume change of 0.7%. Lower mechanical stress associated with Li (de)intercalation provides better cycling stability of the spinel-layered complex materials and makes them more perspective for practical applications compared to the single-phase LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ high-voltage cathode material.

Alaptide from synchrotron powder diffraction data.

Project description:THE TITLE COMPOUND [SYSTEMATIC NAME: (8S)-8-methyl-6,9-diaza-spiro-[4.5]decane-7,10-dione], C(9)H(14)N(2)O(2), consists of two connected rings, viz. a piperazine-2,5-dione (DKP) ring and a five-membered ring. The DKP ring adopts a slight boat conformation and the bonded methyl group is in an equatorial position. The five-membered ring is in an envelope conformation. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular N-H?O hydrogen bonds link mol-ecules into chains running parallel to the c axis.

Visualizing non-equilibrium lithiation of spinel oxide via in situ transmission electron microscopy.

Project description:Spinel transition metal oxides are important electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries, whose lithiation undergoes a two-step reaction, whereby intercalation and conversion occur in a sequential manner. These two reactions are known to have distinct reaction dynamics, but it is unclear how their kinetics affects the overall electrochemical response. Here we explore the lithiation of nanosized magnetite by employing a strain-sensitive, bright-field scanning transmission electron microscopy approach. This method allows direct, real-time, high-resolution visualization of how lithiation proceeds along specific reaction pathways. We find that the initial intercalation process follows a two-phase reaction sequence, whereas further lithiation leads to the coexistence of three distinct phases within single nanoparticles, which has not been previously reported to the best of our knowledge. We use phase-field theory to model and describe these non-equilibrium reaction pathways, and to directly correlate the observed phase evolution with the battery's discharge performance.

Diphenyl polysulfides: cathodes with excellent lithiation performance and high specific energy for LSBs.

Project description:Reversible lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) are considered one of the most promising next-generation energy storage systems. However, the shuttling effect of lithium polysulfide significantly weakens the electrochemical properties and the cycle life, hindering its practical application. Organo-sulfides are unique materials with low cost, profuse content and high capacity. Here, via quantum chemical calculations, we introduce a class of diphenyl polysulfides, PhS n Ph (2 ≤ n ≤ 15), which are all structurally stable, confirmed by calculation of their Gibbs free energies. The theoretical specific energy of PhS15Ph is high, up to 2632 W h kg-1, exceeding that of S8. By calculating the bond dissociation energy of S-S in PhS n Ph molecules, we analyze the breaking processes of the S-S bonds in each step of lithiation. The microscopic mechanism of the fast reaction kinetics of PhS n Ph cathodes is explored. It is phenyl that prevents the formation of soluble long-chain polysulfide molecules (Li2S4, Li2S6, Li2S8) in the lithiation process, efficiently weakening the "shuttle effect".

On the Durability of Protective Titania Coatings on High-Voltage Spinel Cathodes.

Project description:TiO2 -coating of LiNi0.5-x Mn1.5+x O4 (LNMO) by atomic layer deposition (ALD) has been studied as a strategy to stabilize the cathode/electrolyte interface and mitigate transition metal (TM) ion dissolution. The TiO2 coatings were found to be uniform, with thicknesses estimated to 0.2, 0.3, and 0.6 nm for the LNMO powders exposed to 5, 10, and 20 ALD cycles, respectively. While electrochemical characterization in half-cells revealed little to no improvement in the capacity retention neither at 20 nor at 50 °C, improved capacity retention and coulombic efficiencies were demonstrated for the TiO2 -coated LNMO in LNMO||graphite full-cells at 20 °C. This improvement in cycling stability could partly be attributed to thinner cathode electrolyte interphase on the TiO2 -coated samples. Additionally, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy revealed a thinner solid electrolyte interphase on the graphite electrode cycled against TiO2 -coated LNMO, indicating retardation of TM dissolution by the TiO2 -coating.

Synchrotron powder study of Na3V(PO3)3N.

Project description:Polycrystalline tris-odium vanadium(III) nitridotriphosphate, Na3V(PO3)3N, was prepared by thermal nitridation of a mixture of NaPO3 and V2O5. The title compound is isotypic with Na3Al(PO3)3N. In the crystal, the P-atom and the three O-atom sites are on general positions, whereas the Na-, V- and N-atom sites are located on threefold rotation axes. The P atom is coordinated by three O atoms and one N atom in form of a slightly distorted tetra-hedron. Three PO3N tetra-hedra build up a nitridotriphosphate group, (PO3)3N, by sharing a common N atom. The V atom is coordinated by six O atoms in form of a slightly distorted octa-hedron. The Na(+) ions occupy three crystallographically distinct sites. One Na(+) ion is situated in an irregular polyhedral coordination environment composed of six O atoms and one N atom, while the other two Na(+) cations are surrounded by six and nine O atoms, respectively.

Prolonged lifespan of initial-anode-free lithium-metal battery by pre-lithiation in Li-rich Li2Ni0.5Mn1.5O4 spinel cathode.

Project description:Anode-free lithium metal batteries (AF-LMBs) can deliver the maximum energy density. However, achieving AF-LMBs with a long lifespan remains challenging because of the poor reversibility of Li+ plating/stripping on the anode. Here, coupled with a fluorine-containing electrolyte, we introduce a cathode pre-lithiation strategy to extend the lifespan of AF-LMBs. The AF-LMB is constructed with Li-rich Li2Ni0.5Mn1.5O4 cathodes as a Li-ion extender; the Li2Ni0.5Mn1.5O4 can deliver a large amount of Li+ in the initial charging process to offset the continuous Li+ consumption, which benefits the cycling performance without sacrificing energy density. Moreover, the cathode pre-lithiation design has been practically and precisely regulated using engineering methods (Li-metal contact and pre-lithiation Li-biphenyl immersion). Benefiting from the highly reversible Li metal on the Cu anode and Li2Ni0.5Mn1.5O4 cathode, the further fabricated anode-free pouch cells achieve 350 W h kg-1 energy density and 97% capacity retention after 50 cycles.

In the crystal, inter-molecular N-H?O, O-H?N and O-H?O hydrogen bonds form an extensive three-dimensional hydrogen-bonding network, which holds the cations and anions together.
