Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite its limitation in terms of surface covered area, the PLD technique still gathers interest among researchers by offering endless possibilities for tuning thin film composition and enhancing their properties of interest due to: (i) the easiness of a stoichiometric transfer even for very complex target materials, (ii) high adherence of the deposited structures to the substrate, (iii) controlled degree of phase, crystallinity, and thickness of deposited coatings, (iv) versatility of the experimental set-up which allows for simultaneous ablation of multiple targets resulting in combinatorial maps or consecutive ablation of multiple targets producing multi-layered structures, and (v) adjustment of the number of laser pulses, resulting in either a spread of nanoparticles, islands of materials or a complete covering of a surface. Moreover, a variation of PLD, known as Matrix Assisted Pulsed Laser Evaporation, allows for deposition of organic materials, ranging from polymers to proteins and even living cells, otherwise difficult to transfer unaltered in the form of thin films by other techniques. Furthermore, the use of laser light as transfer agent ensures purity of films and pulse-to-pulse deposition allows for an unprecedented control of film thickness at the nm level. This Special Issue is a collection of state-of-the art research papers and reviews in which the topics of interest are devoted to thin film synthesis by PLD and MAPLE, for numerous research and industry field applications, such as bio-active coatings for medical implants and hard, protective coatings for cutting and drilling tools withstanding high friction and elevated temperatures, sensors, solar cells, lithography, magnetic devices, energy-storage and conversion devices, controlled drug delivery and in situ microstructuring for boosting of surface properties.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lithium ion batteries have become one of the most important rechargeable energy storage devices used in our modern society today. As the demand for such devices shift from portable electronics to electric vehicles and large scale storage in order to utilize energy sustainably, ever increasing energy densities both in terms of weight and volume are needed. To satisfy this demand, lithium ion batteries utilizing solid state electrolytes show promise of a new paradigm shift in energy storage technologies. The introduction of solid state electrolyte could, in principle, yield many advantages over conventional lithium ion batteries. Foremost, lithium metal can be used as the anode along with a high voltage cathode to boost energy density. Secondly, removal of flammable liquid electrolyte greatly improves the inherent safety of the battery. We focused on using Focused Ion Beam (FIB) nano-fabrication technique to prepare Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) samples of all-solid-state batteries produced through physical vapor deposition techniques. The particular full cell chemistry of lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2) as cathode, amorphous silicon (a-Si) as anode, and lithium phosphorus oxynitrdie (LiPON) as electrolyte was used for investigations. Through analysis of TEM images and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), important interfacial phenomena were observed at the anode-electrolyte interface and the cathode-electrolyte interface. Overcharging of the anode resulted in accumulation of lithium at the anode-current collector interface and interdiffusion of phosphorus and silicon atoms at the anode-electrolyte interface. Furthermore, we developed a unique methodology using FIB fabrication techniques to prepare electrochemically active TEM samples of all-solid-state nanobatteries that can be galvanostatically charged in the FIB or TEM. This new methodology enabled in situ TEM observations of a previously undiscovered interfacial layer between the LiCoO2 cathode and LiPON electrolyte. This interfacial layer is composed of a highly disordered rocksalt like cobalt oxide phase that is oxidized and forms lithium oxide species during in situ charge. Additionally, electrochemically cycling at elevated temperatures (80 °C) causes further decomposition of the cathode layer decreasing the overall capacity and increasing interfacial impedance of the cell. These results indicate that proper engineering of electrode-electrolyte interface is essential for the performance of all-solid-state batteries.

Download or read book Rational Design of Nanostructured Polymer Electrolytes and Solid Liquid Interphases for Lithium Batteries written by Snehashis Choudhury and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-09-25 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis makes significant advances in the design of electrolytes and interfaces in electrochemical cells that utilize reactive metals as anodes. Such cells are of contemporary interest because they offer substantially higher charge storage capacity than state-of-the-art lithium-ion battery technology. Batteries based on metallic anodes are currently considered impractical and unsafe because recharge of the anode causes physical and chemical instabilities that produce dendritic deposition of the metal leading to catastrophic failure via thermal runaway. This thesis utilizes a combination of chemical synthesis, physical & electrochemical analysis, and materials theory to investigate structure, ion transport properties, and electrochemical behaviors of hybrid electrolytes and interfacial phases designed to prevent such instabilities. In particular, it demonstrates that relatively low-modulus electrolytes composed of cross-linked networks of polymer-grafted nanoparticles stabilize electrodeposition of reactive metals by multiple processes, including screening electrode electrolyte interactions at electrochemical interfaces and by regulating ion transport in tortuous nanopores. This discovery is significant because it overturns a longstanding perception in the field of nanoparticle-polymer hybrid electrolytes that only solid electrolytes with mechanical modulus higher than that of the metal electrode are able to stabilize electrodeposition of reactive metals.
