Li₅ SnP₃ - a Member of the Series Li_10+4x Sn_2-x P₆ for x=0 Comprising the Fast Lithium-Ion Conductors Li₈ SnP₄ (x=0.5) and Li₁₄ SnP₆ (x=1).

ABSTRACT: The targeted search for suitable solid-state ionic conductors requires a certain understanding of the conduction mechanism and the correlation of the structures and the resulting properties of the material. Thus, the investigation of various ionic conductors with respect to their structural composition is crucial for the design of next-generation materials as demanded. We report here on Li₅ SnP₃ which completes with x=0 the series Li_10+4x Sn_2-x P₆ of the fast lithium-ion conductors α- and β-Li₈ SnP₄ (x=0.5) and Li₁₄ SnP₆ (x=1). Synthesis, crystal structure determination by single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction methods, as well as ⁶ Li, ³¹ P and ¹¹⁹ Sn MAS NMR and temperature-dependent ⁷ Li NMR spectroscopy together with electrochemical impedance studies are reported. The correlation between the ionic conductivity and the occupation of octahedral and tetrahedral sites in a close-packed array of P atoms in the series of compounds is discussed. We conclude from this series that in order to receive fast ion conductors a partial occupation of the octahedral vacancies seems to be crucial.

Rapid Low-Dimensional Li+ Ion Hopping Processes in Synthetic Hectorite-Type Li0.5[Mg2.5Li0.5]Si4O10F2.

Project description:Understanding the origins of fast ion transport in solids is important to develop new ionic conductors for batteries and sensors. Nature offers a rich assortment of rather inspiring structures to elucidate these origins. In particular, layer-structured materials are prone to show facile Li+ transport along their inner surfaces. Here, synthetic hectorite-type Li0.5[Mg2.5Li0.5]Si4O10F2, being a phyllosilicate, served as a model substance to investigate Li+ translational ion dynamics by both broadband conductivity spectroscopy and diffusion-induced 7Li nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spin-lattice relaxation experiments. It turned out that conductivity spectroscopy, electric modulus data, and NMR are indeed able to detect a rapid 2D Li+ exchange process governed by an activation energy as low as 0.35 eV. At room temperature, the bulk conductivity turned out to be in the order of 0.1 mS cm-1. Thus, the silicate represents a promising starting point for further improvements by crystal chemical engineering. To the best of our knowledge, such a high Li+ ionic conductivity has not been observed for any silicate yet.

Thick Film Ni0.5Mn0.5-xSnx Heusler Alloys by Multi-layer Electrochemical Deposition.

Project description:The design of multifunctional alloys with multiple chemical components requires controllable synthesis approaches. Physical vapor deposition techniques, which result in thin films (<1??m), have previously been demonstrated for micromechanical devices and metallic combinatorial libraries. However, this approach deviates from bulk-like properties due to the residual stress derived in thin films and is limited by total film thickness. Here, we report a route to obtain ternary Ni-Mn-Sn alloy thick films with controllable compositions and thicknesses by annealing electrochemically deposited multi-layer monatomic (Ni, Mn, Sn) films, deposited sequentially from separate aqueous deposition baths. We demonstrate (1) controllable compositions, with high degree of uniformity, (2) smooth films, and (3) high reproducibility between film transformation behavior. Our results demonstrate a positive correlation between alloy film thicknesses and grain sizes, as well as consistent bulk-like transformation behavior.

Effect of FeCoNiCrCu0.5 High-entropy-alloy Substrate on Sn Grain Size in Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu Solder.

Project description:High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are well known for their excellent high-temperature stability, mechanical properties, and promising resistance against oxidation and corrosion. However, their low-temperature applications are rarely studied, particularly in electronic packaging. In this study, the interfacial reaction between a Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder and FeCoNiCrCu0.5 HEA substrate was investigated. (Cu0.76, Ni0.24)6Sn5 intermetallic compound was formed the substrate at the interface between the solder and the FeCoNiCrCu0.5 HEA substrate. The average Sn grain size on the HEA substrate was 246 ?m, which was considerably larger than that on a pure Cu substrate. The effect of the substrate on Sn grain size is due to the free energy required for the heterogeneous nucleation of Sn on the FeCoNiCrCu0.5 substrate.

Lithium diffusion in Li5FeO4.

Project description:The anti-fluorite type Li5FeO4 has attracted significant interest as a potential cathode material for Li ion batteries due to its high Li content and electrochemical performance. Atomic scale simulation techniques have been employed to study the defects and Li ion migration in Li5FeO4. The calculations suggest that the most favorable intrinsic defect type is calculated to be the cation anti-site defect, in which Li+ and Fe3+ ions exchange positions. Li Frenkel is also found to be lower in this material (0.85?eV/defect). Long range lithium diffusion paths were constructed in Li5FeO4 and it is confirmed that the lower migration paths are three dimensional with the lowest activation energy of migration at 0.45?eV. Here we show that doping by Si on the Fe site is energetically favourable and an efficient way to introduce a high concentration of lithium vacancies. The introduction of Si increases the migration energy barrier of Li in the vicinity of the dopant to 0.59?eV. Nevertheless, the introduction of Si is positive for the diffusivity as the migration energy barrier increase is lower less than that of the lithium Frenkel process, therefore the activation energy of Li diffusion.

The composite with improved electronic conductivity and ion diffusivity presents an ultrahigh reversible specific capacity of 193 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C, and an excellent cycling stability of 93% capacity retention after 100 cycles at 1 C when applied as a cathode material for Li-ion batteries (LIBs). Additionally, the composite fine powders exhibit a special microstructure and its volumetric energy density is estimated to reach 1605 Wh L-1, much larger than the commercial LiFePO4.

Suppressed Growth of (Fe, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu)Sn2 Intermetallic Compound at Interface between Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu Solder and FeCoNiCrCu0.5 Substrate during Solid-state Aging.

Project description:High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are promising materials for next-generation applications because of their mechanical properties, excellent high-temperature stability, and resistance against oxidation and corrosion. Although many researchers have investigated high-temperature HEA applications, few have considered low-temperature applications. Here we demonstrate an unprecedented intermetallic compound of (Fe, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu)Sn2 at the interface between Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu (SAC) solder and FeCoNiCrCu0.5 HEA substrate after reflow at 400 °C. Significantly suppressed growth of intermetallic compound without detachment from the substrate was observed during thermal aging at 150 °C for 150 h. Sn grains with an average grain size of at least 380 μm are observed. The results reveal a completely new application for the fields of Sn-Ag-Cu solder and HEA materials.

Sn-Doped Rutile TiO2 Hollow Nanocrystals with Enhanced Lithium-Ion Batteries Performance.

Project description:Hollow structures and doping of rutile TiO2 are generally believed to be effective ways to enhance the performance of lithium-ion batteries. Herein, uniformly distributed Sn-doped rutile TiO2 hollow nanocrystals have been synthesized by a simple template-free hydrothermal method. A topotactic transformation mechanism of solid TiOF2 precursor is proposed to illustrate the formation of rutile TiO2 hollow nanocrystals. Then, the Sn-doped rutile TiO2 hollow nanocrystals are calcined and tested as anode in the lithium-ion battery. They deliver a highly reversible specific capacity of 251.3 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 and retain ∼110 mA h g-1 after 500 cycles at a high current rate 5 A g-1 (30 C), which is much higher than most of the reported work.

Supertetrahedral polyanionic network in the first lithium phosphidoindate Li3InP2 - structural similarity to Li2SiP2 and Li2GeP2 and dissimilarity to Li3AlP2 and Li3GaP2.

Project description:Phosphide-based materials have been investigated as promising candidates for solid electrolytes, among which the recently reported Li9AlP4 displays an ionic conductivity of 3 mS cm-1. While the phases Li-Al-P and Li-Ga-P have already been investigated, no ternary indium-based phosphide has been reported up to now. Here, we describe the synthesis and characterization of the first lithium phosphidoindate Li3InP2, which is easily accessible via ball milling of the elements and subsequent annealing. Li3InP2 crystallizes in the tetragonal space group I41/acd with lattice parameters of a = 12.0007(2) and c = 23.917(5) Å, featuring a supertetrahedral polyanionic framework of interconnected InP4 tetrahedra. All lithium atoms occupy tetrahedral voids with no partial occupation. Remarkably, Li3InP2 is not isotypic to the previously reported homologues Li3AlP2 and Li3GaP2, which both crystallize in the space group Cmce and feature 2D layers of connected tetrahedra but no supertetrahedral framework. DFT computations support the observed stability of Li3InP2. A detailed geometrical analysis leads to a more general insight into the structural factors governing lithium ion mobility in phosphide-based materials: in the non-ionic conducting Li3InP2 the Li ions exclusively occupy tetrahedral voids in the distorted close packing of P atoms, whereas partially filled octahedral voids are present in the moderate ionic conductors Li2SiP2 and Li2GeP2.

Defects, Lithium Mobility and Tetravalent Dopants in the Li3NbO4 Cathode Material.

Project description:The defect processes of oxides such as self-diffusion impact their performance in electrochemical devices such as batteries and solid oxide fuel cells. The performance of lithium ion batteries can be improved by increasing the Li-ion diffusion. In that respect Li3NbO4 is identified as a positive electrode material for rechargeable lithium ion batteries. Here, we employ static atomistic scale simulations to examine the defect properties, doping behaviour and lithium ion migration paths in Li3NbO4. The present calculations show a correct reproduction of experimentally observed crystal structure of Li3NbO4. The Li-Nb anti-site defect is found to be the dominant intrinsic defect process suggesting that a small concentration of Li on Nb sites and Nb on Li sites is present. Vacancy assisted long range lithium diffusion paths were examined and our calculations reveal that the lowest activation energy (1.13?eV) migration path is two dimensional forming a zig-zag shape. Subvalent doping by Ge on the Nb site is thermodynamically favourable process and a potential strategy to incorporate extra Li in the form of Li interstitial in Li3NbO4. The results presented herein can motivate further experimental work for the development of Li3NbO4 based batteries.

Garnet-Based All-Ceramic Lithium Battery Enabled by Li2.985B0.005OCl Solder.

Project description:Garnet-based bulk-type all-ceramic lithium battery (ACLB) is considered to be highly safe, but its electrochemical performance is severely hindered by the huge cathode/electrolyte interfacial resistance. Here, we demonstrate an in situ coated Li2.985B0.005OCl as sintering solder, which is uniformly coated on both LiCoO2 and Li7La3Zr2O12. With the low melting point (267°C) and high ionic conductivity (6.8 × 10-5 S cm-1), the Li2.985B0.005OCl solder not only restricts La/Co interdiffusion, but also provides fast Li+ transportation in the cathode. A low cathode/electrolyte interfacial resistance (386 ? cm2) is realized owing to the densification of the ACLB by hot-press sintering. The strain/stress of the LiCoO2 is also released by the small elasticity modulus of Li2.985B0.005OCl, leading to a superior cycling stability. The study sheds light on the design of advanced garnet-based bulk-type ACLB by exploring proper solders with higher ionic conductivity, lower melting point, and smaller elasticity modulus.
