Multiprincipal Component P2-Na_0.6(Ti_0.2Mn_0.2Co_0.2Ni_0.2Ru_0.2)O₂ as a High-Rate Cathode for Sodium-Ion Batteries.

ABSTRACT: Mixing transition metal cations in nearly equiatomic proportions in layered oxide cathode materials is a new strategy for improving the performances of Na-ion batteries. The mixing of cations not only offers entropic stabilization of the crystal structure but also benefits the diffusion of Na ions with tuned diffusion activation energy barriers. In light of this strategy, a high-rate Na_0.6(Ti_0.2Mn_0.2Co_0.2Ni_0.2Ru_0.2)O₂ cathode was designed, synthesized, and investigated, combining graph-based deep learning calculations and complementary experimental characterizations. This new cathode material delivers high discharge capacities of 164 mA g^-1 at 0.1 C and 68 mAh g^-1 at a very high rate of 86 C, demonstrating an outstanding high rate capability. Ex situ and operando synchrotron X-ray diffraction were used to reveal the detailed structural evolution of the cathode upon cycling. Using the climbing-image nudged elastic-band calculation and Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, we show that the optimal transition metal composition enables a percolating network of low barrier pathways for fast, macroscopic Na diffusion, resulting in the observed high rate performance.

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.

Modified Coprecipitation Synthesis of Nickel-Rich NMC (Li1.0Ni0.6Mn0.2Co0.2O2) for Lithium-Ion Batteries: A Simple, Cost-Effective, Environmentally Friendly Method.

Project description:Lithium-ion batteries lay the foundation for satisfying the fast-growing demand of portable electronics and electric vehicles. However, due to the complexity of material syntheses, high fabrication temperature condition, and toxic gas emission, high volume manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries is still challenging. Here, we propose a modified coprecipitation method to synthesize Li1.0Ni0.6Mn0.2Co0.2O2 (NMC622-MCP) as a cathode material in a simple, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly approach. We demonstrate that the proposed method can be operated in a lower temperature environment, with respect to the requirement of conventional synthesis methods. Furthermore, only CO2 gas is emitted during synthesis. We also employed first-principles simulations to evaluate the crystallinity of the synthesized materials via X-ray diffractometer patterns. During charge/discharge processes, the obtained cathode materials induce outstanding electrochemical performance with a maximum specific capacity of up to 206.9 mAh g-1 at 0.05 C and a retention capacity of 83.22% after 100 cycles. Thus, the simple, cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and highly electrochemical performance of the newly acquired material envisages the modified coprecipitation method as a promising tool to manufacture cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries.

Rb/Cs-Modified P2 Na0.7Mn0.8Mg0.2O2: Application in Sodium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:To meet the growing energy demands, sodium-ion batteries can be a potential substitute for lithium-ion batteries. Here, we report the solid-state synthesized alkali Rb- and Cs-modified Na0.7Mn0.8Mg0.2O2, which adopts hexagonal P63/mmc symmetry. The second charge/discharge capacity for the as-synthesized Rb- and Cs-modified P2 Na0.7Mn0.8Mg0.2O2 are 118/114 and 130/125 mA h g-1, which reduces to 62/62 and 77/76 mA h g-1, respectively, after 100 cycles. In situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction data illustrate that a solid solution reaction occurs for most of the charge/discharge process in both cases. Rb-modified P2 Na0.7Mn0.8Mg0.2O2 shows multiple phases near the charged state, whereas Cs-modified P2 Na0.7Mn0.8Mg0.2O2 shows the formation of a new phase (P2new) at about 2.5 V and multiple phases below 1.7 V. The P2new phase is found to evolve in conjunction with the original P2 phase until about 1.7 V, where the P2 reflection appears to split into multiple reflections and a single P2 phase is recovered at 2.7 V on the second charge. The Cs-modified P2 Na0.7Mn0.8Mg0.2O2 shows better energy density in comparison with the K- and Rb-modified P2 Na0.7Mn0.8Mg0.2O2 and comparable to the parent P2 Na0.7Mn0.8Mg0.2O2. Ex situ scanning electron microscopy images show no noticeable change in surface morphology of the Cs-modified Na0.7Mn0.8Mg0.2O2, whereas in the case of Rb-modified P2 Na0.7Mn0.8Mg0.2O2, rods and irregular-shaped particles are observed after the 100th cycle. The solid-state 23Na NMR shows a distinct shift in the peak position in comparison with the parent P2 Na0.7Mn0.8Mg0.2O2, and two Na environments are observed with no local disordering in Rb- and Cs-modified P2 Na0.7Mn0.8Mg0.2O2 samples. Overall, this article illustrates the influence of using larger alkali ions to modify P2 Na0.7Mn0.8Mg0.2O2 and compares this scheme in terms of phase transitions and electrochemical performance.

Sequential delithiation behavior and structural rearrangement of a nanoscale composite-structured Li1.2Ni0.2Mn0.6O2 during charge-discharge cycles.

Project description:Lithium- and manganese-rich layered oxides (LMRs) are promising positive electrode materials for next-generation rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. Herein, the structural evolution of Li1.2Ni0.2Mn0.6O2 during the initial charge-discharge cycle was examined using synchrotron-radiation X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to elucidate the unique delithiation behavior. The pristine material contained a composite layered structure composed of Ni-free and Ni-doped Li2MnO3 and LiMO2 (M?=?Ni, Mn) nanoscale domains, and Li ions were sequentially and inhomogeneously extracted from the composite structure. Delithiation from the LiMO2 domain was observed in the potential slope region associated with the Ni2+/Ni4+ redox couple. Li ions were then extracted from the Li2MnO3 domain during the potential plateau and remained mostly in the Ni-doped Li2MnO3 domain at 4.8?V. In addition, structural transformation into a spinel-like phase was partly observed, which is associated with oxygen loss and cation migration within the Li2MnO3 domain. During Li intercalation, cation remigration and mixing resulted in a domainless layered structure with a chemical composition similar to that of LiNi0.25Mn0.75O2. After the structural activation, the Li ions were reversibly extracted from the newly formed domainless structure.

Utilizing Co2+/Co3+ Redox Couple in P2-Layered Na0.66Co0.22Mn0.44Ti0.34O2 Cathode for Sodium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Developing sodium-ion batteries for large-scale energy storage applications is facing big challenges of the lack of high-performance cathode materials. Here, a series of new cathode materials Na0.66Co x Mn0.66-x Ti0.34O2 for sodium-ion batteries are designed and synthesized aiming to reduce transition metal-ion ordering, charge ordering, as well as Na+ and vacancy ordering. An interesting structure change of Na0.66Co x Mn0.66-x Ti0.34O2 from orthorhombic to hexagonal is revealed when Co content increases from x = 0 to 0.33. In particular, Na0.66Co0.22Mn0.44Ti0.34O2 with a P2-type layered structure delivers a reversible capacity of 120 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C. When the current density increases to 10 C, a reversible capacity of 63.2 mAh g-1 can still be obtained, indicating a promising rate capability. The low valence Co2+ substitution results in the formation of average Mn3.7+ valence state in Na0.66Co0.22Mn0.44Ti0.34O2, effectively suppressing the Mn3+-induced Jahn-Teller distortion, and in turn stabilizing the layered structure. X-ray absorption spectroscopy results suggest that the charge compensation of Na0.66Co0.22Mn0.44Ti0.34O2 during charge/discharge is contributed by Co2.2+/Co3+ and Mn3.3+/Mn4+ redox couples. This is the first time that the highly reversible Co2+/Co3+ redox couple is observed in P2-layered cathodes for sodium-ion batteries. This finding may open new approaches to design advanced intercalation-type cathode materials.

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.

Role of Lithium Doping in P2-Na0.67Ni0.33Mn0.67O2 for Sodium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:P2-structured Na0.67Ni0.33Mn0.67O2 (PNNMO) is a promising Na-ion battery cathode material, but its rapid capacity decay during cycling remains a hurdle. Li doping in layered transition-metal oxide (TMO) cathode materials is known to enhance their electrochemical properties. Nevertheless, the influence of Li at different locations in the structure has not been investigated. Here, the crystallographic role and electrochemical impact of lithium on different sites in PNNMO is investigated in Li x Na0.67-y Ni0.33Mn0.67O2+δ (0.00 ≤ x ≤ 0.2, y = 0, 0.1). Lithium occupancy on prismatic Na sites is promoted in Na-deficient (Na < 0.67) PNNMO, evidenced by ex situ and operando synchrotron X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and 7Li solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance. Partial substitution of Na with Li leads to enhanced stability and slightly increased specific capacity compared to PNNMO. In contrast, when lithium is located primarily on octahedral TM sites, capacity is increased but at the cost of stability.

Scalable Synthesis Nano-Perovskite K(Mn0.95Ni0.05)F3 Cathode by Homogeneous Precipitation Method for Potassium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) are favored by researchers because of the unique advantages. In this work, KIB cathode material nano-perovskite K(Mn0.95Ni0.05)F3 with concentration gradient was synthesized by EDTA-assisted homogeneous precipitation method for the first time and characterized. The solid solution material was deposited on the multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to form K(Mn0.95Ni0.05)F3/MWCNT nanocomposites to improve the electron conductivity of the electrode material so as to obtain the excellent electrochemical performance. As expected, the charge and discharge capacities of K(Mn0.95Ni0.05)F3/MWCNTs after the 60th cycle can still reach 106.8 and 98.5 mAh g-1 over the voltage range 4.2-1.2?V vs. K/K+ at the current density of 35?mA?g-1, respectively. Electrochemical performance studies showed that solid solution K(Mn0.95Ni0.05)F3 had the potential applications as the cathode material for KIBs. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used to study the transport and reaction processes of ions at the solid-liquid interface. The main factors affecting electrochemical performance could be analyzed from the Nyquist plot of the EIS test.

Nanoscale Lithium Quantification in LiXNiyCowMnZO2 as Cathode for Rechargeable Batteries.

Project description:Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) using a focused ion-beam scanning electron microscope (FIB-SEM) is a promising and economical technique for lithium detection and quantification in battery materials because it overcomes the limitations with detecting low Li content by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). In this work, an experimental calibration curve was produced, which to our best knowledge allowed for the first time, the quantification of lithium in standard nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC-532) cathodes using 20?nm resolution. The technique overcomes matrix effects and edges effects that makes quantification complex. This work shows the high potential of TOF-SIMS tool for analytical characterization of battery materials, and demonstrates its tremendous capabilities towards identification of various chemical or electrochemical phenomena in the cathodes via high-resolution ion distributions. Various phenomena in the ion distributions are also assessed, such as edge effects or measurement artifacts from real signal variations.

Outstanding Electrochemical Performance of Ni-Rich Concentration-Gradient Cathode Material LiNi0.9Co0.083Mn0.017O2 for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:The full-concentrationgradient LiNi0.9Co0.083Mn0.017O2 (CG-LNCM), consisting of core Ni-rich LiNi0.93Co0.07O2, transition zone LiNi1-x-yCoxMnyO2, and outmost shell LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 was prepared by a facile co-precipitation method and high-temperature calcination. CG-LNCM was then investigated with an X-ray diffractometer, ascanning electron microscope, a transmission electron microscope, and electrochemical measurements. The results demonstrate that CG-LNCM has a lower cation mixing of Li+ and Ni2+ and larger Li+ diffusion coefficients than concentration-constant LiNi0.9Co0.083Mn0.017O2 (CC-LNCM). CG-LNCM presents a higher capacity and a better rate of capability and cyclability than CC-LNCM. CG-LNCM and CC-LNCM show initial discharge capacities of 221.2 and 212.5 mAh g-1 at 0.2C (40 mA g-1) with corresponding residual discharge capacities of 177.3 and 156.1 mAh g-1 after 80 cycles, respectively. Even at high current rates of 2C and 5C, CG-LNCM exhibits high discharge capacities of 165.1 and 149.1 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles, respectively, while the residual discharge capacities of CC-LNCM are as low as 148.8 and 117.9 mAh g-1 at 2C and 5C after 100 cycles, respectively. The significantly improved electrochemical performance of CG-LNCM is attributed to its concentration-gradient microstructure and the composition distribution of concentration-gradient LiNi0.9Co0.083Mn0.017O2. The special concentration-gradient design and the facile synthesis are favorable for massive manufacturing of high-performance Ni-rich ternary cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries.
