LiMg_0.1Co_0.9BO₃ as a positive electrode material for Li-ion batteries.

ABSTRACT: LiCoBO₃ could be a promising cathode material given the electronic and ionic conductivity problems are addressed. Here, Mg substitution in LiCoBO₃ is employed to stabilise the structure and improve the electrochemical performance. LiMg_0.1Co_0.9BO₃ is synthesised for the first time via sol-gel method and Mg substitution in the structure is verified by X-ray powder diffraction and energy dispersive X-ray analyses. The electrochemical properties are investigated by galvanostatic cycling and cyclic voltammetry tests. The composite electrode with conductive carbon (reduced graphite oxide and carbon black) delivers a first discharge capacity of 32 mA h g^-1 within a 4.7-1.7 voltage window at a rate of 10 mA g^-1. The cycling is relatively stable compared to the unsubstituted LiCoBO₃. Mg substitution may enhance the electrochemical performance of borate-based electrode materials when combined with suitable electrode design techniques.

Benchmarking the electrochemical parameters of the LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 positive electrode material for Li-ion batteries.

Project description:The layered oxide LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 (NMC811, NCM811) is of utmost technological importance as a positive electrode (cathode) material for the forthcoming generation of Li-ion batteries. In this contribution, we have collected 548 research articles comprising >950 records on the electrochemical properties of NMC811 as a cathode material in half-cells with metallic Li counter electrode. The analysis of distribution histograms provided statistically-relevant values of such key characteristics of NMC811 as the first cycle discharge capacity and Coulombic efficiency, discharge capacities at different upper cut-off voltages, capacity fade and capacity retention at the 0.1C-5C current densities. We derived equations describing the relationships between discharge capacity and upper cut-off voltage, Ni content in the LiNixMnyCozO2 compositions in vicinity of NMC811, antisite disorder, and the C-rate. Additionally, the distribution histograms were used for a qualitative comparison between various groups of NMC811 materials, such as benchmarks in various optimizations vs obtained in course of synthesis development, lab-made vs commercial, polycrystalline vs single-crystal. The results of this analysis provide justified values to be used as benchmarks in further works related to optimizing and improving NMC811 and related materials, eliminating random picking up from a huge pool of published data.

ϵ-FeOOH: A Novel Negative Electrode Material for Li- and Na-Ion Batteries.

Project description:The demand for eco-friendly materials for secondary batteries has stimulated the exploration of a wide variety of Fe oxides, but their potential as electrode materials remains unknown. In this contribution, ϵ-FeOOH was synthesized using a high-pressure/high-temperature method and examined for the first time in nonaqueous Li and Na cells. Under a pressure of 8 GPa, α-FeOOH transformed into ϵ-FeOOH at 400 °C and then decomposed into α-Fe2O3 and H2O above 500 °C. Here, FeO6 octahedra form [2 × 1] tunnels in α-FeOOH or [1 × 1] tunnels in ϵ-FeOOH. The ϵ-FeOOH/Li cell exhibited a rechargeable capacity (Q recha) of ∼700 mA h·g-1 at 0.02-3.0 V, whereas the ϵ-FeOOH/Na cell indicated a Q recha of less than 30 mA h·g-1 at 0.02-2.7 V. The discharge and charge profiles of ϵ-FeOOH and α-FeOOH were similar, but the rate capability of ϵ-FeOOH was superior to that of α-FeOOH.

Sulfate-Containing Composite Based on Ni-Rich Layered Oxide LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 as High-Performance Cathode Material for Li-ion Batteries.

Project description:Composite positive electrode materials (1-x) LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2?xLi2SO4 (x = 0.002-0.005) for Li-ion batteries have been synthesized via conventional hydroxide or carbonate coprecipitation routes with subsequent high-temperature lithiation in either air or oxygen atmosphere. A comparative study of the materials prepared from transition metal sulfates (i.e., containing sulfur) and acetates (i.e., sulfur-free) with powder X-ray diffraction, electron diffraction, high angle annular dark field transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and electron energy loss spectroscopy revealed that the sulfur-containing species occur as amorphous Li2SO4 at the grain boundaries and intergranular contacts of the primary NMC811 crystallites. This results in a noticeable enhancement of rate capability and capacity retention over prolonged charge/discharge cycling compared to their sulfur-free analogs. The improvement is attributed to suppressing the high voltage phase transition and the associated accumulation of anti-site disorder upon cycling and improving the secondary agglomerates' mechanical integrity by increasing interfacial fracture toughness through linking primary NMC811 particles with soft Li2SO4 binder, as demonstrated with nanoindentation experiments. As the synthesis of the (1-x) LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2?xLi2SO4 composites do not require additional operational steps to introduce sulfur, these electrode materials might demonstrate high potential for commercialization.

Silver Nanocoating of LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 Cathode Material for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Surface coating has become an effective approach to improve the electrochemical performance of Ni-rich cathode materials. In this study, we investigated the nature of an Ag coating layer and its effect on electrochemical properties of the LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 (NCM811) cathode material, which was synthesized using 3 mol.% of silver nanoparticles by a facile, cost-effective, scalable and convenient method. We conducted structural analyses using X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, which revealed that the Ag nanoparticle coating did not affect the layered structure of NCM811. The Ag-coated sample had less cation mixing compared to the pristine NMC811, which could be attributed to the surface protection of Ag coating from air contamination. The Ag-coated NCM811 exhibited better kinetics than the pristine one, which is attributed to the higher electronic conductivity and better layered structure provided by the Ag nanoparticle coating. The Ag-coated NCM811 delivered a discharge capacity of 185 mAh·g-1 at the first cycle and 120 mAh·g-1 at the 100th cycle, respectively, which is better than the pristine NMC811.

Li-rich Li-Si alloy as a lithium-containing negative electrode material towards high energy lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are generally constructed by lithium-including positive electrode materials, such as LiCoO2, and lithium-free negative electrode materials, such as graphite. Recently, lithium-free positive electrode materials, such as sulfur, are gathering great attention from their very high capacities, thereby significantly increasing the energy density of LIBs. Though the lithium-free materials need to be combined with lithium-containing negative electrode materials, the latter has not been well developed yet. In this work, the feasibility of Li-rich Li-Si alloy is examined as a lithium-containing negative electrode material. Li-rich Li-Si alloy is prepared by the melt-solidification of Li and Si metals with the composition of Li21Si5. By repeating delithiation/lithiation cycles, Li-Si particles turn into porous structure, whereas the original particle size remains unchanged. Since Li-Si is free from severe constriction/expansion upon delithiation/lithiation, it shows much better cyclability than Si. The feasibility of the Li-Si alloy is further examined by constructing a full-cell together with a lithium-free positive electrode. Though Li-Si alloy is too active to be mixed with binder polymers, the coating with carbon-black powder by physical mixing is found to prevent the undesirable reactions of Li-Si alloy with binder polymers, and thus enables the construction of a more practical electrochemical cell.

An investigation of Li2TiO3-coke composite anode material for Li-ion batteries.

Project description:Anode material Li2TiO3-coke was prepared and tested for lithium-ion batteries. The as-prepared material exhibits excellent cycling stability and outstanding rate performance. Charge/discharge capacities of 266 mA h g-1 at 0.100 A g-1 and 200 mA h g-1 at 1.000 A g-1 are reached for Li2TiO3-coke. A cycling life-time test shows that Li2TiO3-coke gives a specific capacity of 264 mA h g-1 at 0.300 A g-1 and a capacity retention of 92% after 1000 cycles of charge/discharge.

Characterization of Na x Li0.67+y Ni0.33Mn0.67O2 as a positive electrode material for lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:The relationship between the charge-discharge properties and crystal structure of Na x Li0.67+y Ni0.33Mn0.67O2 (0.010 ≤ x ≤ 0.013, 0.16 ≤ y ≤ 0.20) has been investigated. Li/Na x Li0.67+y Ni0.33Mn0.67O2 cells exhibit gradually sloping initial charge and discharge voltage-capacity curves. The initial charge capacity increased from 171 mA h g-1 for thermally-treated Na0.15Li0.51Ni0.33Mn0.67O2 to 226 mA h g-1 for Na0.010Li0.83Ni0.33Mn0.67O2 with an increase in the Li content. The initial maximum discharge capacity was 252 mA h g-1 in the case of Na0.010Li0.83Ni0.33Mn0.67O2 between 4.8 and 2.0 V at a fixed current density of 15 mA g-1 (0.06C) at 25 °C. The predominance of the spinel phase leads to the high initial discharge capacity of Na0.010Li0.83Ni0.33Mn0.67O2. This study shows that chemical lithiation using LiI is effective to improve the electrochemical properties.

Structural studies of Li1.2Mn0.55Ni0.15Co0.1O2 electrode material.

Project description:A pristine Li-rich layered electrode material with composition Li1.2Mn0.55Ni0.15Co0.1O2 was characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and scanning transmission electron microscopy to determine whether it is a coherent mixture of monoclinic C2/m Li2MO3 and trigonal [Formula: see text] LiMO2 phases or a solid solution of the monoclinic phase. Contradictory results have been previously reported which can be attributed to the complexity and structural similarity of the monoclinic and trigonal phases. We resolved this uncertainty by combining diffraction and imaging techniques that probe complimentary length scales. Our results demonstrate that the structure is primarily monoclinic, supporting the solid solution model, although near surface structural alterations were also observed.

Aliovalent-doped sodium chromium oxide (Na0.9Cr0.9Sn0.1O2 and Na0.8Cr0.9Sb0.1O2) for sodium-ion battery cathodes with high-voltage characteristics.

Project description:NaCrO2 with high rate-capability is an attractive cathode material for sodium-ion batteries (NIBs). However, the amount of reversibly extractable Na+ ions is restricted by half, which results in relatively low energy density for practical NIB cathodes. Herein, we describe aliovalent-doped O3-Na0.9[Cr0.9Sn0.1]O2 (NCSnO) and O3-Na0.8[Cr0.9Sb0.1]O2 (NCSbO), both of which show high-voltage characteristics that translate to an increase in energy density. In contrast to NaCrO2, NCSnO and NCSbO can be reversibly charged to 3.80 and 3.95 V, respectively, delivering 0.5 Na+ along with Cr3+/4+ redox alone. The reversible chargeability to Na0.4[Cr0.9Sn0.1]O2 and Na0.3[Cr0.9Sb0.1]O2 is not associated with the suppression of Cr6+ formation. Both compounds show concentrations of Cr6+ that are higher than that of Na0.3CrO2, with an absence of O3' phases. This implies that aliovalent-doping contributes to a suppression of the Cr6+ migration into tetrahedral sites in the interslab space, which reduces the possibility of irreversible comproportionation. NCSnO and NCSbO deliver capacities comparable to that of NaCrO2, but show a higher average discharge voltage (2.94 V for NaCrO2; 3.14 V for NCSnO; 3.21 V for NCSbO), which leads to a noticeable increase in energy densities. The high-voltage characteristics of NCSnO and NCSbO are also validated via density-functional-theory calculations.

Two-dimensional graphene-HfS2 van der Waals heterostructure as electrode material for alkali-ion batteries.

Project description:Poor electrical conductivity and large volume expansion during repeated charge and discharge is what has characterized many battery electrode materials in current use. This has led to 2D materials, specifically multi-layered 2D systems, being considered as alternatives. Among these 2D multi-layered systems are the graphene-based van der Waals heterostructures with transition metal di-chalcogenides (TMDCs) as one of the layers. Thus in this study, the graphene-hafnium disulphide (Gr-HfS2) system, has been investigated as a prototype Gr-TMDC system for application as a battery electrode. Density functional theory calculations indicate that Gr-HfS2 van der Waals heterostructure formation is energetically favoured. In order to probe its battery electrode application capability, Li, Na and K intercalants were introduced between the layers of the heterostructure. Li and K were found to be good intercalants as they had low diffusion barriers as well as a positive open circuit voltage. A comparison of bilayer graphene and bilayer HfS2 indicates that Gr-HfS2 is a favourable battery electrode system.
