Book Solid State Batteries  Materials Design and Optimization

Download or read book Solid State Batteries Materials Design and Optimization written by Christian Julien and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-27 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of solid state ionics is multidisciplinary in nature. Chemists, physicists, electrochimists, and engineers all are involved in the research and development of materials, techniques, and theoretical approaches. This science is one of the great triumphs of the second part of the 20th century. For nearly a century, development of materials for solid-state ionic technology has been restricted. During the last two decades there have been remarkable advances: more materials were discovered, modem technologies were used for characterization and optimization of ionic conduction in solids, trial and error approaches were deserted for defined predictions. During the same period fundamental theories for ion conduction in solids appeared. The large explosion of solid-state ionic material science may be considered to be due to two other influences. The first aspect is related to economy and connected with energy production, storage, and utilization. There are basic problems in industrialized countries from the economical, environmental, political, and technological points of view. The possibility of storing a large amount of utilizable energy in a comparatively small volume would make a number of non-conventional intermittent energy sources of practical convenience and cost. The second aspect is related to huge increase in international relationships between researchers and exchanges of results make considerable progress between scientists; one find many institutes joined in common search programs such as the material science networks organized by EEC in the European countries.

Book Modeling and Design of All Solid State Batteries

Download or read book Modeling and Design of All Solid State Batteries written by Hanmei Tang and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All-solid-state batteries show its great potential for being the next-generation source of clean energy barely with safety issues. While current research progress suggests the bottleneck of commercialization of all-solid-state batteries is the high resistivity at the electrode/SE interfaces. The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate how computational efforts can help understand and tackle the interface issues. The content comprises the following three projects: the methodology development (Chapter 2), the optimization of bulk materials (Chapter 3), and combined experimental and theoretical investigation into reactive interfaces (Chapter 4 & 5). In the first project, we aimed to develop and improve the computational workflow in material science research, especially those related to the interfaces. In the first part of this project, the Nudged Elastic Band (NEB) workflow has been developed with high automation and flexibility; and in the second part, an extension to a traditional molecular dynamics workflow specifically for tracking interface reactions has been implemented. The intrinsic properties of bulk materials are important to the interfacial properties and, thus, the performance of the full-cell battery. In the second project, we illustrated a computational aided design of bulk material, the Mg-doped Na3V2(PO4)3 cathode Na3+xV2-xMgx(PO4)3/C. The third project includes chapters 4 & 5, which are interfacial investigations on Na-ion and Li-ion, respectively. In chapter 4, we have demonstrated how thermodynamic approximations based on assumptions of fast alkali diffusion and multi-species equilibrium can be used to effectively screen combinations of Na-ion electrodes, solid electrolytes and buffer oxides for electrochemical and chemical compatibility. In addition to the thermodynamic approximation, ab initio molecular dynamics simulations of the NaCoO 2 /Na 3 PS 4 interface model predict that the formation of [SO4]2- -containing compounds and Na3P are kinetically favored over the formation of [PO4]3- -containing compounds, which has been validated through XPS recently. Chapter 5 investigate the source of reactivity between the sulfide solid electrolyte Li6PS5Cl (LPSCl) and the high-voltage cathode LiNi0.85Co0.1Al0.05O2 (NCA). And both experimental and computational results demonstrated improved stability between NCA and LPSCl after incorporation of the LiNbO 3 coating.
