Electrochemical Performance of Thick-Film Li(Ni_0.6Mn_0.2Co_0.2)O₂ Cathode with Hierarchic Structures and Laser Ablation.

ABSTRACT: The electrochemical performance of lithium-ion batteries is directly influenced by type of active material as well as its morphology. In order to evaluate the impact of particle morphology in thick-film electrodes, Li(Ni_0.6Mn_0.2Co_0.2)O₂ (NMC 622) cathodes with bilayer structure consisting of two different particle sizes were manufactured and electrochemically characterized in coin cells design. The hierarchical thick-film electrodes were generated by multiple casting using NMC 622 (TA) with small particle size of 6.7 µm and NMC 622 (BA) with large particle size of 12.8 µm. Besides, reference electrodes with one type of active material as well as with two type of materials established during mixing process (BT) were manufactured. The total film thickness of all hierarchical composite electrodes were kept constant at 150 µm, while the thicknesses of TA and BA were set at 1:2, 1:1, and 2:1. Meanwhile, three kinds of thin-film cathodes with 70 µm were applied to represent the state-of-the-art approach. Subsequently, ultrafast laser ablation was applied to generate groove structures inside the electrodes. The results demonstrate that cells with thin-film or thick-film cathode only containing TA, cells with bilayer electrode containing TBA 1:2, and cells with laser-structured electrodes show higher capacity at C/2 to 5C, respectively.

Li-rich thin film cathode prepared by pulsed laser deposition.

Project description:Li-rich layer-structured cathode thin films are prepared by pulsed laser deposition. X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electrochemical testing in half battery cells are used to characterize crystal structure, surface morphology, chemical valence states and electrochemical performance of these thin films, respectively. It is observed that partial layer to spinel transformation takes place during post annealing, and the layered structure further gradually transforms to spinel during electrochemical cycling based on the analysis of dQ/dV. Electrochemical measurement shows that the thin film electrode deposited at 350 mTorr and post-annealed at 800 °C possesses the best performance.

Porous perovskite LaNiO3 nanocubes as cathode catalysts for Li-O2 batteries with low charge potential.

Project description:Developing efficient catalyst for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is essential for rechargeable Li-O2 battery. In our present work, porous LaNiO3 nanocubes were employed as electrocatalyst in Li-O2 battery cell. The as-prepared battery showed excellent charging performance with significantly reduced overpotential (3.40 V). The synergistic effect of porous structure, large specific surface area and high electrocatalytic activity of porous LaNiO3 nanocubes ensured the Li-O2 battery with enchanced capacity and good cycle stability. Furthermore, it was found that the lithium anode corrosion and cathode passivation were responsible for the capacity fading of Li-O2 battery. Our results indicated that porous LaNiO3 nanocubes represent a promising cathode catalyst for Li-O2 battery.

Improved Electrochemical Performance of Li-Rich Cathode Materials via Spinel Li<sub>2</sub>MoO<sub>4</sub> Coating.

Project description:Li-rich manganese-based cathode materials (LRMs) are considered one of the most promising cathode materials for the next generation of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) because of their high energy density. However, there are problems such as a capacity decay, poor rate performance, and continuous voltage drop, which seriously limit their large-scale commercial applications. In this work, Li1.2Mn0.54Co0.13Ni0.13O2 coated with Li2MoO4 with a unique spinel structure was prepared with the wet chemistry method and the subsequent calcination process. The Li2MoO4 coating layer with a spinel structure could provide a 3D Li+ transport channel, which is beneficial for improving rate performance, while protecting LRMs from electrolyte corrosion, suppressing interface side reactions, and improving cycling stability. The capacity retention rate of LRMs coated with 3 wt% Li2MoO4 increased from 69.25% to 81.85% after 100 cycles at 1 C, and the voltage attenuation decreased from 7.06 to 4.98 mV per cycle. The lower Rct also exhibited an improved rate performance. The results indicate that the Li2MoO4 coating effectively improves the cyclic stability and electrochemical performance of LRMs.

Improved electrochemical properties of LiNi0.91Co0.06Mn0.03O2 cathode material via Li-reactive coating with metal phosphates.

Project description:Ni-rich layered oxides are promising cathode materials due to their high capacities. However, their synthesis process retains a large amount of Li residue on the surface, which is a main source of gas generation during operation of the battery. In this study, combined with simulation and experiment, we propose the optimal metal phosphate coating materials for removing residual Li from the surface of the Ni-rich layered oxide cathode material LiNi0.91Co0.06Mn0.03O2. First-principles-based screening process for 16 metal phosphates is performed to identify an ideal coating material that is highly reactive to Li2O. By constructing the phase diagram, we obtain the equilibrium phases from the reaction of coating materials and Li2O, based on a database using a DFT hybrid functional. Experimental verification for this approach is accomplished with Mn3(PO4)2, Co3(PO4)2, Fe3(PO4)2, and TiPO4. The Li-removing capabilities of these materials are comparable to the calculated results. In addition, electrochemical performances up to 50 charge/discharge cycles show that Mn-, Co-, Fe-phosphate materials are superior to an uncoated sample in terms of preventing capacity fading behavior, while TiPO4 shows poor initial capacity and rapid reduction of capacity during cycling. Finally, Li-containing equilibrium phases examined from XRD analysis are in agreement with the simulation results.

Dataset on a ferroelectric based electrostatic and electrochemical Li-cell with a traditional cathode.

Project description:Here we show the electrochemical raw data for a Li/ferroelectric Li-glass electrolyte/plasticizer/Li-rich, F doped LNMO coin cell where the plasticizer is succinonitrile-SN. The nominal composition of the active oxide-host cathode particles is Li1.36Ni0.49Mn1.15O3.28F0.36 (LNMO) that disproportionated into 78 wt% spinel phase LiNi1/2Mn3/2O3.8F0.2 and 22 wt% Li-rich, F-doped layered phase containing Li2MnO3 planes separated by Li+ and Ni2+ ions. The Li2.99Ba0.005OCl electrolyte was synthesized and ground in ethanol. A cellulose matrix was dipped into the glass/ethanol slurry. This cell has been cycling for two years and six months. The electrochemical performance was firstly published in graphs after cycling the cell for about one year and three months [1]. The Li//LNMO CR2032 coin cell was assembled in an argon-filled glove box and electrochemically tested in a battery testing analyzer (LAND) at room temperature and at constant specific current densities and potentials between 2.5 and 4.8 V. Moreover, the cell's cycling current is 23 mA g-1 (active cathode). The data might be used by the electrochemical (in particular, battery), electrostatic and ferroelectric researchers and industrials for comparative analysis. Furthermore, it can be reused by anyone interested in solid-state devices that wants to calculate the maximum energy stored electrostatically in these devices.

Enhancing electrochemical intermediate solvation through electrolyte anion selection to increase nonaqueous Li-O2 battery capacity.

Project description:Among the "beyond Li-ion" battery chemistries, nonaqueous Li-O2 batteries have the highest theoretical specific energy and, as a result, have attracted significant research attention over the past decade. A critical scientific challenge facing nonaqueous Li-O2 batteries is the electronically insulating nature of the primary discharge product, lithium peroxide, which passivates the battery cathode as it is formed, leading to low ultimate cell capacities. Recently, strategies to enhance solubility to circumvent this issue have been reported, but rely upon electrolyte formulations that further decrease the overall electrochemical stability of the system, thereby deleteriously affecting battery rechargeability. In this study, we report that a significant enhancement (greater than fourfold) in Li-O2 cell capacity is possible by appropriately selecting the salt anion in the electrolyte solution. Using (7)Li NMR and modeling, we confirm that this improvement is a result of enhanced Li(+) stability in solution, which, in turn, induces solubility of the intermediate to Li2O2 formation. Using this strategy, the challenging task of identifying an electrolyte solvent that possesses the anticorrelated properties of high intermediate solubility and solvent stability is alleviated, potentially providing a pathway to develop an electrolyte that affords both high capacity and rechargeability. We believe the model and strategy presented here will be generally useful to enhance Coulombic efficiency in many electrochemical systems (e.g., Li-S batteries) where improving intermediate stability in solution could induce desired mechanisms of product formation.

Ni-Al-Cr superalloy as high temperature cathode current collector for advanced thin film Li batteries.

Project description:To obtain full advantage of state-of-the-art solid-state lithium-based batteries, produced by sequential deposition of high voltage cathodes and promising oxide-based electrolytes, the current collector must withstand high temperatures (>600 °C) in oxygen atmosphere. This imposes severe restrictions on the choice of materials for the first layer, usually the cathode current collector. It not only must be electrochemically stable at high voltage, but also remain conductive upon deposition and annealing of the subsequent layers without presenting a strong diffusion of its constituent elements into the cathode. A novel cathode current collector based on a Ni-Al-Cr superalloy with target composition Ni0.72Al0.18Cr0.10 is presented here. The suitability of this superalloy as a high voltage current collector was verified by determining its electrochemical stability at high voltage by crystallizing and cycling of LiCoO2 directly onto it.

Effect of Al and Fe Doping on the Electrochemical Behavior of Li1.2Ni0.133Mn0.534Co0.133O2 Li-Rich Cathode Material

Project description:This article studies the doping of Li-rich cathode materials. Aluminum and iron were chosen as dopants. Li-rich cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries, which were composed of Li1.2Ni0.133Mn0.534Co0.133O2 with a partial replacement of cobalt (2 at %) by iron and aluminum, were synthesized. The dopants were introduced at the precursor synthesis stage by co-precipitation. The presence of Fe and Al in the composition of the synthesized samples was proved by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, X-ray diffraction analysis and X-ray microanalysis. The cathode materials were tested electrochemically. The incorporation of Al and Fe into the structure of lithium-enriched materials improved the cyclability and reduced the voltage fade of the cathodes. An analysis of the electrochemical data showed that the structural changes that occur in the initial cycles are different for the doped and starting materials and affect their cycling stability. The partial cation substitution suppressed the unfavorable phase transition to lower-voltage structures and improved the electrochemical performance of the materials under study.

Influence of the Composition and Testing Modes on the Electrochemical Performance of Li-Rich Cathode Materials

Project description:Li-rich oxides are promising cathode materials for Li-ion batteries. In this work, a number of different compositions of Li-rich materials and various electrochemical testing modes were investigated. The structure, chemical composition, and morphology of the materials synthesized were studied by XRD with Rietveld refinement, ICP-OES, and SEM. The particle size distributions were determined by a laser analyzer. The galvanostatic intermittent titration technique and galvanostatic cycling with different potential limits at various current densities were used to study the materials. The electrochemical study showed that gradual increase in the upper voltage limit (formation cycles) was needed to improve further cycling of the cathode materials under study. A comparison of the data obtained in different voltage ranges showed that a lower cut-off potential of 2.5 V (2.5–4.7 V range) was required for a good cyclability with a high discharge capacity. An increase in the low cut-off potential to 3.0 V (3.0–4.8 V voltage range) did not improve the electrochemical performance of the oxides and, on the contrary, considerably decreased the discharge capacity and increased the capacity fade. The LMR35 cathode material (Li1.149Ni0.184Mn0.482Co0.184O2) demonstrated the best functional properties among all the compositions studied.

Effects of Mg Doping at Different Positions in Li-Rich Mn-Based Cathode Material on Electrochemical Performance.

Project description:Li-rich Mn-based layered oxides are among the most promising cathode materials for next-generation lithium-ion batteries, yet they suffer from capacity fading and voltage decay during cycling. The electrochemical performance of the material can be improved by doping with Mg. However, the effect of Mg doping at different positions (lithium or transition metals) remains unclear. Li1.2Mn0.54Ni0.13Co0.13O2 (LR) was synthesized by coprecipitation followed by a solid-state reaction. The coprecipitation stage was used to introduce Mg in TM layers (sample LR-Mg), and the solid-state reaction (st) was used to dope Mg in Li layers (LR-Mg(st)). The presence of magnesium at different positions was confirmed by XRD, XPS, and electrochemical studies. The investigations have shown that the introduction of Mg in TM layers is preferable in terms of the electrochemical performance. The sample doped with Mg at the TM positions shows better cyclability and higher discharge capacity than the undoped sample. The poor electrochemical properties of the sample doped with Mg at Li positions are due to the kinetic hindrance of oxidation of the manganese-containing species formed after activation of the Li2MnO3 component of the composite oxide. The oxide LR-Mg(st) demonstrates the lowest lithium-ion diffusion coefficient and the greatest polarization resistance compared to LR and LR-Mg.
