Enabling Long Cycle Life and High Rate Iron Difluoride Based Lithium Batteries by In Situ Cathode Surface Modification.

ABSTRACT: Metals fluorides (MFs) are potential conversion cathodes to replace commercial intercalation cathodes. However, the application of MFs is impeded by their poor electronic/ionic conductivity and severe decomposition of electrolyte. Here, a composite cathode of FeF₂ and polymer-derived carbon (FeF₂ @PDC) with excellent cycling performance is reported. The composite cathode is composed of nanorod-shaped FeF₂ embedded in PDC matrix with excellent mechanical strength and electronic/ionic conductivity. The FeF₂ @PDC enables a reversible capacity of 500 mAh g^-1 with a record long cycle lifetime of 1900 cycles. Remarkably, the FeF₂ @PDC can be cycled at a record rate of 60 C with a reversible capacity of 107 mAh g^-1 after 500 cycles. Advanced electron microscopy reveals that the in situ formation of stable Fe₃ O₄ layers on the surface of FeF₂ prevents the electrolyte decomposition and leaching of iron (Fe), thus enhancing the cyclability. The results provide a new understanding to FeF₂ electrochemistry, and a strategy to radically improve the electrochemical performance of FeF₂ cathode for lithium-ion battery applications.

In situ interfacial architecture of lithium vanadate-based cathode for printable lithium batteries.

Project description:Most Li3VO4 anodes are obtained by pre-architecture methods in which Li3VO4 anode materials are prepared with more than six key processes including high-temperature annealing and long preparation time. Herein, we propose an in situ post-architecture strategy including Li3VO4-precursor solution (ink) preparation and then annealing at 250°C. The integrated Li3VO4 based electrode not only possesses good electrical conductivity and porous microstructure but also has superior stability because of Cu anchoring and inclusion by in situ catalysis. The integrated electrode demonstrates a high reversible capacity (865 mA h g-1 at 0.2 A g-1) and good cyclability (100% capacity retention after 200 cycles at 1 A g-1). More importantly, the post-architecture electrode has a high energy density of 773.8 Wh kg-1, much higher than reported Li3VO4-based materials, as well as most cathodes. Therefore, the electrode could be used to the printable cathode of low-voltage high-energy-density lithium batteries.

Nitridation effect on lithium iron phosphate cathode for rechargeable batteries.

Project description:A novel oxynitride Li0.94FePO3.84N0.16 with olivine structure (space group Pnma, no. 62) has been synthesized by heating a parent LiFePO4 precursor obtained by citrate chemistry in flowing ammonia at 650 °C. The polycrystalline sample has been characterized by X-ray and neutron powder diffraction (NPD), elemental and thermal analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electrochemical measurements. Based on the existing contrast between the scattering lengths of the N and O species, a Rietveld refinement of the structure from NPD data revealed that N preferentially occupies the O2 positions, as likely required to fulfil the bonding power of N ions. The refined crystallographic formula implies an oxidation state of 2.2+ for Fe cations. The differential thermal analysis, in still air, shows a strong exothermic peak at 520-540 °C due to the combustion of C contents, which are embedding the olivine particles, as observed by SEM. The electrochemical measurements suggest a better performance for the nitrided sample relative to the unnitrided LiFePO4 material, as far as capacity and cyclability are concerned. A bond-valence energy landscape study reveals a decrease in the percolation activation energy of about 6% upon nitridation, concomitant with the better electrochemical properties of the oxynitride compound. Additionally, ceramic samples prepared under NH3 flow could be obtained as pure and well-crystallized olivine phases at milder temperatures (650 °C) than those usually described in literature.

In situ wrapping of the cathode material in lithium-sulfur batteries.

Project description:While lithium-sulfur batteries are poised to be the next-generation high-density energy storage devices, the intrinsic polysulfide shuttle has limited their practical applications. Many recent investigations have focused on the development of methods to wrap the sulfur material with a diffusion barrier layer. However, there is a trade-off between a perfect preassembled wrapping layer and electrolyte infiltration into the wrapped sulfur cathode. Here, we demonstrate an in situ wrapping approach to construct a compact layer on carbon/sulfur composite particles with an imperfect wrapping layer. This special configuration suppresses the shuttle effect while allowing polysulfide diffusion within the interior of the wrapped composite particles. As a result, the wrapped cathode for lithium-sulfur batteries greatly improves the Coulombic efficiency and cycle life. Importantly, the capacity decay of the cell at 1000 cycles is as small as 0.03% per cycle at 1672 mA g-1.To suppress the polysulfide shuttling effect in Li-S batteries, here the authors report a carbon/sulfur composite cathode with a wrapping layer that overcomes the trade-off between limiting polysulfide diffusion and allowing electrolyte infiltration, and affords extraordinary cycling stability.

Enabling "lithium-free" manufacturing of pure lithium metal solid-state batteries through in situ plating.

Project description:The coupling of solid-state electrolytes with a Li-metal anode and state-of-the-art (SOA) cathode materials is a promising path to develop inherently safe batteries with high energy density (>1000 Wh L-1). However, integrating metallic Li with solid-electrolytes using scalable processes is not only challenging, but also adds extraneous volume since SOA cathodes are fully lithiated. Here we show the potential for "Li-free" battery manufacturing using the Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) electrolyte. We demonstrate that Li-metal anodes >20 μm can be electroplated onto a current collector in situ without LLZO degradation and we propose a model to relate electrochemical and nucleation behavior. A full cell consisting of in situ formed Li, LLZO, and NCA is demonstrated, which exhibits stable cycling over 50 cycles with high Coulombic efficiencies. These findings demonstrate the viability of "Li-free" configurations using LLZO which may guide the design and manufacturing of high energy density solid-state batteries.

Biologically enhanced cathode design for improved capacity and cycle life for lithium-oxygen batteries.

Project description:Lithium-oxygen batteries have a great potential to enhance the gravimetric energy density of fully packaged batteries by two to three times that of lithium ion cells. Recent studies have focused on finding stable electrolytes to address poor cycling capability and improve practical limitations of current lithium-oxygen batteries. In this study, the catalyst electrode, where discharge products are deposited and decomposed, was investigated as it has a critical role in the operation of rechargeable lithium-oxygen batteries. Here we report the electrode design principle to improve specific capacity and cycling performance of lithium-oxygen batteries by utilizing high-efficiency nanocatalysts assembled by M13 virus with earth-abundant elements such as manganese oxides. By incorporating only 3-5 wt% of palladium nanoparticles in the electrode, this hybrid nanocatalyst achieves 13,350 mAh g(-1)(c) (7,340 mAh g(-1)(c+catalyst)) of specific capacity at 0.4 A g(-1)(c) and a stable cycle life up to 50 cycles (4,000 mAh g(-1)(c), 400 mAh g(-1)(c+catalyst)) at 1 A g(-1)(c).

Porous lithium cobalt oxide fabricated from metal-organic frameworks as a high-rate cathode for lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:Porous materials have many applications, such as energy storage, as catalysts and adsorption etc. Nevertheless, facile synthesis of porous materials remains a challenge. In this work, porous lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2) is fabricated directly from Co-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs, ZIF-67) and lithium salt via a facile solid state annealing approach. The temperature affect on the microstructure of LiCoO2 is also investigated. The as-prepared LiCoO2 shows a uniform porous structure. As a cathode for a lithium-ion battery (LIB), the LiCoO2 delivers excellent stability and superior rate capability. The as-prepared porous LiCoO2 delivers a reversible capacity of 106.5 mA h g-1 at 2C and with stable capacity retention of 96.4% even after 100 cycles. This work may provide an alternative pathway for the preparation of porous materials with broader applications.

Synthesis of three-dimensionally interconnected sulfur-rich polymers for cathode materials of high-rate lithium-sulfur batteries.

Project description:Elemental sulfur is one of the most attractive cathode active materials in lithium batteries because of its high theoretical specific capacity. Despite the positive aspect, lithium-sulfur batteries have suffered from severe capacity fading and limited rate capability. Here we report facile large-scale synthesis of a class of organosulfur compounds that could open a new chapter in designing cathode materials to advance lithium-sulfur battery technologies. Porous trithiocyanuric acid crystals are synthesized for use as a soft template, where the ring-opening polymerization of elemental sulfur takes place along the thiol surfaces to create three-dimensionally interconnected sulfur-rich phases. Our lithium-sulfur cells display discharge capacity of 945 mAh g(-1) after 100 cycles at 0.2 C with high-capacity retention of 92%, as well as lifetimes of 450 cycles. Particularly, the organized amine groups in the crystals increase Li(+)-ion transfer rate, affording a rate performance of 1210, mAh g(-1) at 0.1 C and 730?mAh g(-1) at 5 C.

Ternary Cathode Blend Electrodes for Environmentally Friendly Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:The combination of two active materials into one positive electrode of a lithium-ion battery is an uncomplicated and cost-effective way to combine the advantages of different active materials while reducing the disadvantages of each material. In this work, the concept of binary blends is extended to ternary compositions. The combination of three different active materials provides high versatility in designing the properties of an electrode. Therefore, the unique properties of a layered oxide, phospho-olivine, and spinel type material are mixed to design a high-energy cathode with improved environmental friendliness. Four different compositions of blend electrodes are investigated, each with individual benefits. Synergistic effects improved the rate capability, power density, thermal and chemical stability simultaneously. The blend electrode consisting of 75 % NMC, 12.5 % LMFP and LMO provides similar energy and power density as a pure NMC electrode while economizing 25 % cobalt and nickel.

The Polysulfide-Cathode Binding Energy Landscape for Lithium Sulfide Growth in Lithium-Sulfur Batteries.

Project description:A cathode substrate with strong adsorption of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) has been preferred for lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. However, the recent finding that controlled growth of lithium sulfides (Li2 S) during discharge is crucial for S utilization stimulates improvement of this preference. Here, the Li2 S growth and cell capacity in the LiPS binding energy landscape of cathode substrates are investigated. Specifically, Co-based ternary oxides are employed to obtain binding energies in the range of 4.0-7.4 eV. Of these substrates, only the MnCo2 O4 substrate with moderate LiPS affinity exhibits 3D Li2 S growth. The MnCo2 O4 cells achieve high sulfur utilization up to 84% at 0.2 C and excellent performance even under high sulfur loading/lean electrolyte conditions. In contrast, weak affinity substrates such as ZnCo2 O4 and strong affinity substrates such as NiCo2 O4 and CuCo2 O4 exhibit low discharge capacity with 2D Li2 S growth. For optimal LiPS affinity driving 3D growth, a balance between promoting LiPS adsorption and diffusion limitation in the LiPS adsorption layer is suggested.
