Uncovering LiH Triggered Thermal Runaway Mechanism of a High-Energy LiNi_0.5 Co_0.2 Mn_0.3 O₂ /Graphite Pouch Cell.

ABSTRACT: The continuous energy density increase of lithium ion batteries (LIBs) inevitably accompanies with the rising of safety concerns. Here, the thermal runaway characteristics of a high-energy 5 Ah LiNi_0.5 Co_0.2 Mn_0.3 O₂ /graphite pouch cell using a thermally stable dual-salt electrolyte are analyzed. The existence of LiH in the graphite anode side is innovatively identified in this study, and the LiH/electrolyte exothermic reactions and H₂ migration from anode to cathode side are proved to contribute on triggering the thermal runaway of the pouch cell, while the phase transformation of lithiated graphite anode and the O₂ -releasing from cathode are just accelerating factors for thermal runaway. In addition, heat determination during cycling at two boundary scenarios of adiabatic and isothermal environment clearly states the necessity of designing an efficient and smart battery thermal management system for avoiding heat accumulation. These findings will shed promising lights on thermal runaway route map depiction and thermal runaway prevention, as well as formulation of electrolyte for high energy safer LIBs.

One-Spot Facile Synthesis of Single-Crystal LiNi0.5Co0.2Mn0.3O2 Cathode Materials for Li-ion Batteries.

Project description:The layered lithium-metal oxides are promising cathode materials for Li-ion batteries. Nevertheless, their widespread applications have been limited by the high cost, complex process, and poor stability resulting from the Ni2+/Li+ mixing. Hence, we have developed a facile one-spot method combining glucose and urea to form a deep eutectic solvent, which could lead to the homogeneous distribution and uniform mixing of transition-metal ions at the atomic level. LiNi0.5Co0.2Mn0.3O2 (NCM523) polyhedron with high homogeneity could be obtained through in situ chelating Ni2+, Co3+, and Mn4+ by the amid groups. The prepared material exhibits a relatively high initial electrochemical property, which is due to the unique single-crystal hierarchical porous nano/microstructure, the polyhedron with exposed active surfaces, and the negligible Ni2+/Li+ mixing level. This one-spot approach could be expanded to manufacture other hybrid transition-metal-based cathode materials for batteries.

Regulation of Interface Ion Transport by Electron Ionic Conductor Construction toward High-Voltage and High-Rate LiNi0.5Co0.2Mn0.3O2 Cathodes in Lithium Ion Battery.

Project description:Simultaneously achieving high-energy-density and high-power-density is a crucial yet challenging objective in the pursuit of commercialized power batteries. In this study, atomic layer deposition (ALD) is employed combined with a coordinated thermal treatment strategy to construct a densely packed, electron-ion dual conductor (EIC) protective coating on the surface of commercial LiNi0.5Co0.2Mn0.3O2 (NCM523) cathode material, further enhanced by gradient Al doping (Al@EIC-NCM523). The ultra-thin EIC effectively suppresses side reactions, thereby enhancing the stability of the cathode-electrolyte interphase (CEI) at high-voltages. The EIC's dual conduction capability provides a potent driving force for Li+ transport at the interface, promoting the formation of rapid ion deintercalation pathways within the Al@EIC-NCM523 bulk phase. Moreover, the strategic gradient doping of Al serves to anchor the atomic spacing of Ni and O within the structure of Al@EIC-NCM523, curbing irreversible phase transitions at high-voltages and preserving the integrity of its layered structure. Remarkably, Al@EIC-NCM523 displays an unprecedented rate capability (114.7 mAh g-1 at 20 C), and a sustained cycling performance (capacity retention of 74.72% after 800 cycles at 10 C) at 4.6 V. These findings demonstrate that the proposed EIC and doping strategy holds a significant promise for developing high-energy-density and high-power-density lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).

Synthesis and Characterization of a Multication Doped Mn Spinel, LiNi0.3Cu0.1Fe0.2Mn1.4O4, as 5 V Positive Electrode Material.

Project description:The suitability of multication doping to stabilize the disordered Fd3̅m structure in a spinel is reported here. In this work, LiNi0.3Cu0.1Fe0.2Mn1.4O4 was synthesized via a sol-gel route at a calcination temperature of 850 °C. LiNi0.3Cu0.1Fe0.2Mn1.4O4 is evaluated as positive electrode material in a voltage range between 3.5 and 5.3 V (vs Li+/Li) with an initial specific discharge capacity of 126 mAh g-1 at a rate of C/2. This material shows good cycling stability with a capacity retention of 89% after 200 cycles and an excellent rate capability with the discharge capacity reaching 78 mAh g-1 at a rate of 20C. In operando X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements with a laboratory X-ray source between 3.5 and 5.3 V at a rate of C/10 reveal that the (de)lithiation occurs via a solid-solution mechanism where a local variation of lithium content is observed. A simplified estimation based on the in operando XRD analysis suggests that around 17-31 mAh g-1 of discharge capacity in the first cycle is used for a reductive parasitic reaction, hindering a full lithiation of the positive electrode at the end of the first discharge.

LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2 Cathode-Solid Electrolyte Interfacial Behavior Characterization Using Novel Method Adopting Microcavity Electrode.

Project description:Due to the limitations of organic liquid electrolytes, current development is towards high performance all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs). For high performance ASSLBs, the most crucial is the high ion-conducting solid electrolyte (SE), with a focus on interface analysis between SE and active materials. In the current study, we successfully synthesized the high ion-conductive argyrodite-type (Li6PS5Cl) solid electrolyte, which has 4.8 mS cm-1 conductivity at room temperature. Additionally, the present study suggests the quantitative analysis of interfaces in ASSLBs. The measured initial discharge capacity of a single particle confined in a microcavity electrode was 1.05 nAh for LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2 (NCM622)-Li6PS5Cl solid electrolyte materials. The initial cycle result shows the irreversible nature of active material due to the formation of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer on the surface of the active particle; further second and third cycles demonstrate high reversibility and good stability. Furthermore, the electrochemical kinetic parameters were calculated through the Tafel plot analysis. From the Tafel plot, it is seen that asymmetry increases gradually at high discharge currents and depths, which rise asymmetricity due to the increasing of the conduction barrier. However, the electrochemical parameters confirm the increasing conduction barrier with increased charge transfer resistance.

Investigation of Water-Soluble Binders for LiNi0.5 Mn1.5 O4 -Based Full Cells.

Project description:Two water-soluble binders of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and sodium alginate (SA) have been studied in comparison with N-methylpyrrolidone-soluble poly(vinylidene difluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVdF-HFP) to understand their effect on the electrochemical performance of a high-voltage lithium nickel manganese oxide (LNMO) cathode. The electrochemical performance has been investigated in full cells using a Li4 Ti5 O12 (LTO) anode. At room temperature, LNMO cathodes prepared with aqueous binders provided a similar electrochemical performance as those prepared with PVdF-HFP. However, at 55 °C, the full cells containing LNMO with the aqueous binders showed higher cycling stability. The results are supported by intermittent current interruption resistance measurements, wherein the electrodes with SA showed lower resistance. The surface layer formed on the electrodes after cycling has been characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The amount of transition metal dissolutions was comparable for all three cells. However, the amount of hydrogen fluoride (HF) content in the electrolyte cycled at 55 °C is lower in the cell with the SA binder. These results suggest that use of water-soluble binders could provide a practical and more sustainable alternative to PVdF-based binders for the fabrication of LNMO electrodes.

Optimized Morphology and Tuning the Mn3+ Content of LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 Cathode Material for Li-Ion Batteries.

Project description:The advantages of cobalt-free, high specific capacity, high operating voltage, low cost, and environmental friendliness of spinel LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO) material make it one of the most promising cathode materials for next-generation lithium-ion batteries. The disproportionation reaction of Mn3+ leads to Jahn-Teller distortion, which is the key issue in reducing the crystal structure stability and limiting the electrochemical stability of the material. In this work, single-crystal LNMO was synthesized successfully by the sol-gel method. The morphology and the Mn3+ content of the as-prepared LNMO were tuned by altering the synthesis temperature. The results demonstrated that the LNMO_110 material exhibited the most uniform particle distribution as well as the presence of the lowest concentration of Mn3+, which was beneficial to ion diffusion and electronic conductivity. As a result, this LNMO cathode material had an optimized electrochemical rate performance of 105.6 mAh g-1 at 1 C and cycling stability of 116.8 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C after 100 cycles.

Ti surface doping of LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4-δ positive electrodes for lithium ion batteries.

Project description:The particle surface of LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4-δ (LNMO), a Li-ion battery cathode material, has been modified by Ti cation doping through a hydrolysis-condensation reaction followed by annealing in oxygen. The effect of different annealing temperatures (500-850 °C) on the Ti distribution and electrochemical performance of the surface modified LNMO was investigated. Ti cations diffuse from the preformed amorphous 'TiO x ' layer into the LNMO surface during annealing at 500 °C. This results in a 2-4 nm thick Ti-rich spinel surface having lower Mn and Ni content compared to the core of the LNMO particles, which was observed with scanning transmission electron microscopy coupled with compositional EDX mapping. An increase in the annealing temperature promotes the formation of a Ti bulk doped LiNi(0.5-w)Mn(1.5+w)-t Ti t O4 phase and Ti-rich LiNi0.5Mn1.5-y Ti y O4 segregates above 750 °C. Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry indicates increasing Ni-Mn ordering with annealing temperature, for both bare and surface modified LNMO. Ti surface modified LNMO annealed at 500 °C shows a superior cyclic stability, coulombic efficiency and rate performance compared to bare LNMO annealed at 500 °C when cycled at 3.4-4.9 V vs. Li/Li+. The improvements are probably due to suppressed Ni and Mn dissolution with Ti surface doping.

Urea-assisted hydrothermal synthesis of a hollow hierarchical LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 cathode material with tunable morphology characteristics.

Project description:A hollow hierarchical LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 cathode material has been synthesized via a urea-assisted hydrothermal method followed by a high-temperature calcination process. The effect of reactant concentration on the structure, morphology and electrochemical properties of the carbonate precursor and corresponding LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 product has been intensively investigated. The as-prepared samples were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, SEM, CV, EIS, GITT and constant-current charge/discharge tests. The results show that all samples belong to a cubic spinel structure with mainly Fd3m space group, and the Mn3+ content and impurity content initially decrease and then increase slightly with the reactant concentration increasing. SEM observation shows that the particle morphology and size of carbonate precursor can be tailored by changing reactant concentration. The LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 sample obtained from the carbonate precursor hydrothermally synthesized at a reactant concentration of 0.3 mol L-1 exhibits the optimal overall electrochemical properties, with capacity retention rate of 96.8% after 100 cycles at 1C rate and 10C discharge capacity of 124.9 mA h g-1, accounting for 99.9% of that at 0.2C rate. The excellent electrochemical performance can be mainly attributed to morphological characteristics, that is, smaller particle size with homogeneous distribution, in spite of lower Mn3+ content.

Understanding the cation ordering transition in high-voltage spinel LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 by doping Li instead of Ni.

Project description:We determined how Li doping affects the Ni/Mn ordering in high-voltage spinel LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4(LNMO) by using neutron diffraction, TEM image, electrochemical measurements, and NMR data. The doped Li occupies empty octahedral interstitials (16c site) before the ordering transition, and can move to normal octahedral sites (16d (4b) site) after the transition. This movement strongly affects the Ni/Mn ordering transition because Li at 16c sites blocks the ordering transition pathway and Li at 16d (4b) sites affects electrostatic interactions with transition metals. As a result, Li doping increases in the Ni/Mn disordering without the effect of Mn3+ ions even though the Li-doped LNMO undergoes order-disorder transition at 700 °C. Li doping can control the amount of Ni/Mn disordering in the spinel without the negative effect of Mn3+ ions on the electrochemical property.

Rational Screening of High-Voltage Electrolytes and Additives for Use in LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4-Based Li-Ion Batteries.

Project description:In the present work, we focus onthe experimental screening of selected electrolytes, which have been reported earlier in different works, as a good choice for high-voltage Li-ion batteries. Twenty-four solutions were studied by means of their high-voltage stability in lithium half-cells with idle electrode (C+PVDF) and the LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4-based composite as a positive electrode. Some of the solutions were based on the standard 1 M LiPF6 in EC:DMC:DEC = 1:1:1 with/without additives, such as fluoroethylene carbonate, lithium bis(oxalate) borate and lithium difluoro(oxalate)borate. More concentrated solutions of LiPF6 in EC:DMC:DEC = 1:1:1 were also studied. In addition, the solutions of LiBF4 and LiPF6 in various solvents, such as sulfolane, adiponitrile and tris(trimethylsilyl) phosphate, atdifferent concentrations were investigated. A complex study, including cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic cycling, impedance spectroscopy and ex situ PXRD and EDX, was applied for the first time to such a wide range of electrolytesto provide an objective assessment of the stability of the systems under study. We observed a better anodic stability, including a slower capacity fading during the cycling and lower charge transfer resistance, for the concentrated electrolytes and sulfolane-based solutions. Among the studied electrolytes, the concentrated LiPF6 in EC:DEC:DMC = 1:1:1 performed the best, since it provided both low SEI resistance and stability of the LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 cathode material.
