The irreversible loss of lithium from the cathode material during the first cycles of rechargeable Li‐ion batteries notably reduces the overall cell capacity. Here, a new family of sacrificial cathode additives based on Li2O:Li2/3Mn1/3O5/6 composites synthesized by mechanochemical alloying is reported. These nanocomposites display record (but irreversible) capacities within the Li–Mn–O systems studied, of up to 1157 mAh g?1, which represents an increase of over 300% of the originally reported capacity in Li2/3Mn1/3O5/6 disordered rock salts. Such a high irreversible capacity is achieved by the reaction between Li2O and Li2/3Mn1/3O5/6 during the first charge, where electrochemically active Li2O acts as a Li+ donor. A 13% increase of the LiFePO4 and LiCoO2 first charge gravimetric capacities is demonstrated by the addition of only 2 wt% of the nanosized composite in the cathode mixture. This result shows the great potential of these newly discovered sacrificial additives to counteract initial losses of Li+ ions and improve battery performance.  相似文献

Lithium metal is an ultimate anode material to provide the highest energy density for a given cathode by providing a higher capacity and cell voltage. However, lithium is not used as the anode in commercial lithium‐ion batteries because electrochemical dendrite formation and growth during charge can induce a cell short circuit that ignites the flammable liquid electrolyte. Plating of lithium through a bed of Li3N particles is shown to transform dendrite growth into a 3D lithium network formed by wetting the particle surfaces; plating through a Li3N particle is without dendrite nucleation. The Li3N particles create a higher overpotential during Li deposition than that with dendrite growth in galvanostatic charge/discharge tests. The characteristic overpotential increase is correlated with the morphological changes and a more isotropic growth behavior. The Li3N‐modified Li electrode shows a stable cycling performance at 0.5 and 1.0 mA cm?2 for more than 100 cycles. The origin of the bonding responsible for wetting of the Li3N particles by lithium and for plating through a Li3N particle is discussed.  相似文献

All‐solid‐state Li‐ion batteries based on Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) garnet structures require novel electrode assembly strategies to guarantee a proper Li+ transfer at the electrode–electrolyte interfaces. Here, first stable cell performances are reported for Li‐garnet, c‐Li6.25Al0.25La3Zr2O12, all‐solid‐state batteries running safely with a full ceramics setup, exemplified with the anode material Li4Ti5O12. Novel strategies to design an enhanced Li+ transfer at the electrode–electrolyte interface using an interface‐engineered all‐solid‐state battery cell based on a porous garnet electrolyte interface structure, in which the electrode material is intimately embedded, are presented. The results presented here show for the first time that all‐solid‐state Li‐ion batteries with LLZO electrolytes can be reversibly charge–discharge cycled also in the low potential ranges (≈1.5 V) for combinations with a ceramic anode material. Through a model experiment, the interface between the electrode and electrolyte constituents is systematically modified revealing that the interface engineering helps to improve delivered capacities and cycling properties of the all‐solid‐state Li‐ion batteries based on garnet‐type cubic LLZO structures.  相似文献

Structural changes in Li2MnO3 cathode material for rechargeable Li‐ion batteries are investigated during the first and 33rd cycles. It is found that both the participation of oxygen anions in redox processes and Li+‐H+ exchange play an important role in the electrochemistry of Li2MnO3. During activation, oxygen removal from the material along with Li gives rise to the formation of a layered MnO2‐type structure, while the presence of protons in the interslab region, as a result of electrolyte oxidation and Li+‐H+ exchange, alters the stacking sequence of oxygen layers. Li re‐insertion by exchanging already present protons reverts the stacking sequence of oxygen layers. The re‐lithiated structure closely resembles the parent Li2MnO3, except that it contains less Li and O. Mn4+ ions remain electrochemically inactive at all times. Irreversible oxygen release occurs only during activation of the material in the first cycle. During subsequent cycles, electrochemical processes seem to involve unusual redox processes of oxygen anions of active material along with the repetitive, irreversible oxidation of electrolyte species. The deteriorating electrochemical performance of Li2MnO3 upon cycling is attributed to the structural degradation caused by repetitive shearing of oxygen layers.  相似文献

All‐solid‐state batteries are promising candidates for the next‐generation safer batteries. However, a number of obstacles have limited the practical application of all‐solid‐state Li batteries (ASSLBs), such as moderate ionic conductivity at room temperature. Here, unlike most of the previous approaches, superior performances of ASSLBs are achieved by greatly reducing the thickness of the solid‐state electrolyte (SSE), where ionic conductivity is no longer a limiting factor. The ultrathin SSE (7.5 µm) is developed by integrating the low‐cost polyethylene separator with polyethylene oxide (PEO)/Li‐salt (PPL). The ultrathin PPL shortens Li+ diffusion time and distance within the electrolyte, and provides sufficient Li+ conductance for batteries to operate at room temperature. The robust yet flexible polyethylene offers mechanical support for the soft PEO/Li‐salt, effectively preventing short‐circuits even under mechanical deformation. Various ASSLBs with PPL electrolyte show superior electrochemical performance. An initial capacity of 135 mAh g?1 at room temperature and the high‐rate capacity up to 10 C at 60 °C can be achieved in LiFePO4/PPL/Li batteries. The high‐energy‐density sulfur cathode and MoS2 anode employing PPL electrolyte also realize remarkable performance. Moreover, the ASSLB can be assembled by a facile process, which can be easily scaled up to mass production.  相似文献

Poor cycling stability is one of the key scientific issues needing to be solved for Li‐ and Mn‐rich layered oxide cathode. In this paper, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is first used as a novel binder in Li1.2Ni0.13Co0.13Mn0.54O2 cathode to enhance its cycling stability. Electrochemical performance is conducted by galvanostatic charge and discharge. Structure and morphology are characterized by X‐ray diffraction, scanning electronic microscopy, high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy, and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Results reveal that the CMC as binder can not only stabilize the electrode structure by preventing the electrode materials to detach from the current collector but also suppress the voltage fading of the Li1.2Ni0.13Co0.13Mn0.54O2 cathode due to Na+ ions doping. Most importantly, the dissolution of metal elements from the cathode materials into the electrolyte is also inhibited.  相似文献

A NaSICON‐type Li+‐ion conductive membrane with a formula of Li1+ x Y x Zr2? x (PO4)3 (LYZP) (x = 0–0.15) has been explored as a solid‐electrolyte/separator to suppress polysulfide‐crossover in lithium‐sulfur (Li‐S) batteries. The LYZP membrane with a reasonable Li+‐ion conductivity shows both favorable chemical compatibility with the lithium polysulfide species and exhibits good electrochemical stability under the operating conditions of the Li‐S batteries. Through an integration of the LYZP solid electrolyte with the liquid electrolyte, the hybrid Li‐S batteries show greatly enhanced cyclability in contrast to the conventional Li‐S batteries with the porous polymer (e.g., Celgard) separator. At a rate of C/5, the hybrid Li ||LYZP|| Li2S6 batteries developed in this study (with a Li‐metal anode, a liquid/LYZP hybrid electrolyte, and a dissolved lithium polysulfide cathode) delivers an initial discharge capacity of ≈1000 mA h g?1 (based on the active sulfur material) and retains ≈90% of the initial capacity after 150 cycles with a low capacity fade‐rate of <0.07% per cycle.  相似文献

Dual‐ion batteries (DIBs) with high operation voltage offer promising candidates for low‐cost clean energy chemistries. However, there still exist tough issues, including structural collapse of the graphite cathode due to solvent co‐intercalation and electrolyte decomposition on the electrode/electrolyte interface, which results in unsatisfactory cyclability and fast battery failure. Herein, Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) modified mesocarbon microbeads (MCMBs) are proposed as a cathode material. The LTO layer functions as a skeleton and offers electrocatalytic active sites for in situ generation of a favorable and compatible cathode electrolyte interface (CEI) layer. The synergetic LTO‐CEI network can change the thermodynamic behavior of the PF6? intercalation process and maintain the structural integrity of the graphite cathode, as a “Great Wall” to protect the cathode from structural collapse and electrolyte decomposition. Such LTO‐CEI reinforced cathode exhibits a prolonged cyclability with 85.1% capacity retention after 2000 cycles even at cut‐off potential of 5.4 V versus Li+/Li. Moreover, the LTO‐modified MCMB (+)//prelithiated MCMB (?) full cell exhibits a high energy density of ≈200 Wh kg?1, remarkably enhanced cyclability with 93.5% capacity retention after 1000 cycles. Undoubtedly, this work offers in‐depth insight into interface chemistry, which can arouse new originality to boost the development of DIBs.  相似文献

The hybrid Mg2+/Li+ battery (MLIB) is a very promising energy storage technology that combines the advantage of the Li and Mg electrochemistry. However, previous research has shown that the battery performance is limited due to the strong dependence on the Li content in the dual Mg2+/Li+ electrolyte. This limitation can be circumvented by significantly improving the diffusion kinetics of Mg2+ in the electrode, so that both Li+ and Mg2+ ions can be utilized as charge carriers. Herein, a free‐standing interlayer expanded MoS2/graphene composite (E‐MG) is demonstrated as a cathode for MLIB. The key advantage of this cathode is to enable the efficient intercalation of both Mg2+ and Li+. The E‐MG electrode displays a reversible capacity of ≈300 mA h g?1 at 20 mA g?1 in an MLIB cell, corresponding to a specific energy density up to ≈316.9 W h kg?1, which is comparable to that of the state‐of‐the‐art Li‐ion batteries (LIBs) and has no dendrite formation. The composite electrode is stable against cycling with a coulombic efficiency close to 100% at 500 mA g?1. This new electrode design represents a significant step forward for building a safe and high‐density electrochemical energy storage system.  相似文献

All‐solid‐state thin film lithium batteries are promising devices to power the next generations of autonomous microsystems. Nevertheless, some industrial constraints such as the resistance to reflow soldering (260 °C) and to short‐circuiting necessitate the replacement of the lithium anode. In this study, a 2 V lithium‐ion system based on amorphous silicon nanofilm anodes (50–200 nm thick), a LiPON electrolyte, and a new lithiated titanium oxysulfide cathode Li1.2TiO0.5S2.1 is prepared by sputtering. The determination of the electrochemical behavior of each active material and of whole systems with different configurations allows the highlighting of the particular behavior of the LixSi electrode and the understanding of its consequences on the performance of Li‐ion cells. Lithium‐ion microbatteries processed with industrial tools and embedded in microelectronic packages exhibit particularly high cycle life (?0.006% cycle?1), ultrafast charge (80% capacity in 1 min), and tolerate both short‐circuiting and reflow soldering. Moreover, the perfect stability of the system allows the assignment of some modifications of the voltage curve and a slow and reversible capacity fade occurring in specific conditions, to the formation of Li15Si4 and to the expression of a “memory effect.” These new findings will help to optimize the design of future Li‐ion systems using nanosized silicon anodes.  相似文献

Calcium represents a promising anode for the development of high‐energy‐density, low‐cost batteries. However, a lack of suitable electrolytes has restricted the development of rechargeable batteries with a Ca anode. Furthermore, to achieve a high energy density system, sulfur would be an ideal cathode to couple with the Ca anode. Unfortunately, a reversible calcium‐sulfur (Ca‐S) battery has not yet been reported. Herein, a basic study of a reversible nonaqueous room‐temperature Ca‐S battery is presented. The reversibility of the Ca‐S chemistry and high utilization of the sulfur cathode are enabled by employing a Li+‐ion‐mediated calcium‐based electrolyte. Mechanistic insights pursued by spectroscopic, electrochemical, microscopic, and theoretical simulation (density functional theory) investigations imply that the Li+‐ions in the Ca‐electrolyte stimulate the reactivation of polysulfide/sulfide species. The coordination of lithium to sulfur reduces the formation of sturdy Ca‐S ionic bonds, thus boosting the reversibility of the Ca‐S chemistry. In addition, the presence of Li+‐ions facilitates the ionic charge transfer both in the electrolyte and across the solid electrolyte interphase layer, consequently reducing the interfacial and bulk impedance of Ca‐S batteries. As a result, both the utilization of active sulfur in the cathode and the discharge voltage of Ca‐S batteries are significantly improved.  相似文献

Minimizing electrolyte use is essential to achieve high practical energy density of lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries. However, the sulfur cathode is more readily passivated under a lean electrolyte condition, resulting in low sulfur utilization. In addition, continuous electrolyte decomposition on the Li metal anode aggravates the problem, provoking rapid capacity decay. In this work, the dual functionalities of NO3? as a high‐donor‐number (DN) salt anion is presented, which improves the sulfur utilization and cycling stability of lean‐electrolyte Li–S batteries. The NO3? anion elevates the solubility of the sulfur species based on its high electron donating ability, achieving a high sulfur utilization of above 1200 mA h g?1. Furthermore, the anion suppresses electrolyte decomposition on the Li metal by regulating the lithium ion (Li+) solvation sheath, enhancing the cycle performance of the lean electrolyte cell. By understanding the anionic effects, this work demonstrates the potential of the high‐DN electrolyte, which is beneficial for both the cathode and anode of Li–S batteries.  相似文献

The critical challenges of Li‐O2 batteries lie in sluggish oxygen redox kinetics and undesirable parasitic reactions during the oxygen reduction reaction and oxygen evolution reaction processes, inducing large overpotential and inferior cycle stability. Herein, an elaborately designed 3D hierarchical heterostructure comprising NiCo2S4@NiO core–shell arrays on conductive carbon paper is first reported as a freestanding cathode for Li‐O2 batteries. The unique hierarchical array structures can build up multidimensional channels for oxygen diffusion and electrolyte impregnation. A built‐in interfacial potential between NiCo2S4 and NiO can drastically enhance interfacial charge transfer kinetics. According to density functional theory calculations, intrinsic LiO2‐affinity characteristics of NiCo2S4 and NiO play an importantly synergistic role in promoting the formation of large peasecod‐like Li2O2, conducive to construct a low‐impedance Li2O2/cathode contact interface. As expected, Li‐O2 cells based on NiCo2S4@NiO electrode exhibit an improved overpotential of 0.88 V, a high discharge capacity of 10 050 mAh g?1 at 200 mA g?1, an excellent rate capability of 6150 mAh g?1 at 1.0 A g?1, and a long‐term cycle stability under a restricted capacity of 1000 mAh g?1 at 200 mA g?1. Notably, the reported strategy about heterostructure accouplement may pave a new avenue for the effective electrocatalyst design for Li‐O2 batteries.  相似文献

Li2S is a fully lithiated sulfur‐based cathode with a high theoretical capacity of 1166 mAh g?1 that can be coupled with lithium‐free anodes to develop high‐energy‐density lithium–sulfur batteries. Although various approaches have been pursued to obtain a high‐performance Li2S cathode, there are still formidable challenges with it (e.g., low conductivity, high overpotential, and irreversible polysulfide diffusion) and associated fabrication processes (e.g., insufficient Li2S, excess electrolyte, and low reversible capacity), which have prevented the realization of high electrochemical utilization and stability. Here, a new cathode design composed of a homogeneous Li2S‐TiS2‐electrolyte composite that is prepared by a simple two‐step dry/wet‐mixing process is demonstrated, allowing the liquid electrolyte to wet the powder mixture consisting of insulating Li2S and conductive TiS2. The close‐contact, three‐phase boundary of this system improves the Li2S‐activation efficiency and provides fast redox‐reaction kinetics, enabling the Li2S‐TiS2‐electrolyte cathode to attain stable cyclability at C/7 to C/3 rates, superior long‐term cyclability over 500 cycles, and promising high‐rate performance up to 1C rate. More importantly, this improved performance results from a cell design attaining a high Li2S loading of 6 mg cm?2, a high Li2S content of 75 wt%, and a low electrolyte/Li2S ratio of 6.  相似文献

With a high theoretical capacity of 1162 mA h g?1, Li2S is a promising cathode that can couple with silicon, tin, or graphite anodes for next‐generation energy storage devices. Unfortunately, Li2S is highly insulating, exhibits large charge overpotential, and suffers from active‐material loss as soluble polysulfides during battery cycling. To date, low‐cost, scalable synthesis of an electrochemically active Li2S cathode remains a challenge. This work demonstrates that the low conductivity and material loss issues associated with Li2S cathodes can be overcome by forming a stable, conductive encapsulation layer at the surface of the Li2S bulk particles through in situ surface reactions between Li2S and electrolyte additives containing transition‐metal salts. It is identified that the electronic band structure in the valence band region of the thus‐generated encapsulation layers, consisting largely of transition‐metal sulfides, determines the initial charging resistance of Li2S. Furthermore, among the transition metals tested, the encapsulation layer formed with an addition of 10 wt% manganese (II) acetylacetonate salt proved to be robust within the cycling window, which is attributed to the chemically generated MnS surface species. This work provides an effective strategy to use micrometer‐sized Li2S directly as a cathode material and opens up new prospects to tune the surface properties of electrode materials for energy‐storage applications.  相似文献

Li metal, which has a high theoretical specific capacity and low redox potential, is considered to the most promising anode material for next‐generation Li ion‐based batteries. However, it also exhibits a disadvantageous solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer problem that needs to be resolved. Herein, an advanced separator composed of reduced graphene oxide fiber attached to aramid paper (rGOF‐A) is introduced. When rGOF‐A is applied, F? anions, generated from the decomposition of the LiPF6 electrolyte during the SEI layer formation process form semi‐ionic C? F bonds along the surface of rGOF. As Li+ ions are plated, the “F‐doped” rGO surface induces the formation of LiF, which is known as a component of a chemically stable SEI, therefore it helps the Li metal anode to operate stably at a high current of 20 mA cm?2 with a high capacity of 20 mAh cm?2. The proposed rGOF‐A separator successfully achieves a stable SEI layer that could resolve the interfacial issues of the Li metal anode.  相似文献

Lithium‐sulfur (Li‐S) batteries are being considered as the next‐generation high‐energy‐storage system due to their high theoretical energy density. However, the use of a lithium‐metal anode poses serious safety concerns due to lithium dendrite formation, which causes short‐circuiting, and possible explosions of the cell. One feasible way to address this issue is to pair a fully lithiated lithium sulfide (Li2S) cathode with lithium metal‐free anodes. However, bulk Li2S particles face the challenges of having a large activation barrier during the initial charge, low active‐material utilization, poor electrical conductivity, and fast capacity fade, preventing their practical utility. Here, the development of a self‐supported, high capacity, long‐life cathode material is presented for Li‐S batteries by coating Li2S onto doped graphene aerogels via a simple liquid infiltration–evaporation coating method. The resultant cathodes are able to lower the initial charge voltage barrier and attain a high specific capacity, good rate capability, and excellent cycling stability. The improved performance can be attributed to the (i) cross‐linked, porous graphene network enabling fast electron/ion transfer, (ii) coated Li2S on graphene with high utilization and a reduced energy barrier, and (iii) doped heteroatoms with a strong binding affinity toward Li2S/lithium polysulfides with reduced polysulfide dissolution based on first‐principles calculations.  相似文献

The γ phase Li3VO4 which possesses higher ionic conductivity is more preferable for lithium ion batteries, but it is only stable at high temperature and would convert to low temperature β phase spontaneously when cooling down. Here, the phase control of Li3VO4 to stabilize its γ phase in room temperature is successfully mediated by introducing proper Si‐doping, and for the first time the electrochemical performances of γ‐Li3VO4 is investigated. It is found that pure γ‐Li3VO4 can be obtained in a doping ratio of x = 0.05–0.15 in Li3+xV1?xSixO4 with addition of excess Li source in synthesis design. The doping mechanism and the energy changes are investigated in detail by using the first principle calculations, it reveals that an interstitial Li+ is formed with doping of Si4+ in Li3VO4 to balance the system charge. When served as an anode, the Si‐doped γ‐Li3VO4 shows much smoothed Li+ insertion/extraction and enhanced cycle stability with only a single pair of redox peaks, which behaves much different with the complex multicouples of redox peaks in typical β‐Li3VO4. These changes in electrochemical performances implies that γ‐Li3VO4 can effectively accommodate Li+ in an easier and more facile way and relieved structure stress during the charge/discharge process.  相似文献

Lithium sulfide (Li2S) is considered a highly attractive cathode for establishing high‐energy‐density rechargeable batteries, especially due to its high charge‐storage capacity and compatibility with lithium‐metal‐free anodes. Although various approaches have recently been pursued with Li2S to obtain high performance, formidable challenges still remain with cell design (e.g., low Li2S loading, insufficient Li2S content, and an excess electrolyte) to realize high areal, gravimetric, and volumetric capacities. This study demonstrates a shell‐shaped carbon architecture for holding pure Li2S, offering innovation in cell‐design parameters and gains in electrochemical characteristics. The Li2S core–carbon shell electrode encapsulates the redox products within the conductive shell so as to facilitate facile accessibility to electrons and ions. The fast redox‐reaction kinetics enables the cells to attain the highest Li2S loading of 8 mg cm?2 and the lowest electrolyte/Li2S ratio of 9/1, which is the best cell‐design specifications ever reported with Li2S cathodes so far. Benefiting from the excellent cell‐design criterion, the core–shell cathodes exhibit stable cyclability from slow to fast cycle rates and, for the first time, simultaneously achieve superior performance metrics with areal, gravimetric, and volumetric capacities.  相似文献

A practical, low‐cost synthesis of hollow mesoporous organic polymer (HMOP) spheres is reported. The electrochemical properties of Li+/Na+‐electrolyte membranes with these spheres substituting for oxide filler particles in poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)‐filler composite are explored. The electrolyte membranes are mechanically robust, thermally stable to over 250 °C, and block dendrites from a metallic‐lithium/sodium anode. The Li+/Na+ transfer impedance across the lithium/sodium–electrolyte interface is initially acceptable at 65 °C and scavenging of impurities by the porous‐spheres filler lowers this impedance relative to that with Al2O3. All‐solid‐state Li/LiFePO4 and Na/NaTi2(PO4)3 cells give stable discharge capacity of ≈130 and 80 mAh g?1, respectively, at 0.5 C and 65 °C for 100 cycles.  相似文献
