Book excerpt: Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have become ubiquitous as energy storage devices for mobile electronics, electric vehicles, and are beginning to be used for electric grid-scale energy storage. Lithium-ion batteries offer higher efficiencies, energy density, and longer life compared to incumbent technologies such as lead-acid and nickel metal hydride. Applications in which LIBs are used are continuing to demand better performing batteries at lower cost, which requires improvement in electroactive materials. This dissertation investigates the low temperature synthesis and modification of LiCoPO4 as a potential high-voltage and therefore higher energy density polyanion cathode material for LIBs, as well as a new class of interdigitated metal foil anodes which promises to be an inexpensive, higher energy density, alternative to graphite. Chapter 1 is a brief introduction to lithium-ion batteries and the principle of operation of intercalation type electrochemical energy storage devices. The components of lithium ion batteries are introduced, specifically the anode, cathode, separator, and electrolyte. Some of the shortfalls of the current technologies are discussed and areas of research interest are highlighted. Chapter 2 is a brief overview of the various experimental methods that are generally applicable to more than one of the subsequent chapters. Methods which are specific to a given study are discussed in their respective chapters. Chapter 3 presents work on the low temperature microwave-assisted solovthermal synthesis (MW-ST) of three unique polymorphs of LiCoPO4, specifically the polymorphs belonging to the Pnma, Cmcm, and Pn21a space groups. Prior to this work, only the Pnma polymorph had been reported via MW-ST method, and electrochemistry had not yet been reported for either the Pn21a or Cmcm polymorph. The dependence of the polymorphs on both the water content, and ammonium hydroxide content of the solvent was shown. Although, the electrochemistry of both the Pn21a and Cmcm polymorphs was found to be inferior to the Pnma polymorph, the ability to synthesize phase pure materials was crucial to conducting the work presented in chapters 4 and 5. Chapter 4 presents the aliovalent substitution of V3+ for Co2+ in LiCoPO4 via a low-temperature MW-ST process. Substitution of up to 7% vanadium for cobalt was demonstrated and verified by changes in the lattice parameters with vanadium content. Both the ionic and electronic conductivity of LiCoPO4 was enhanced with increasing vanadium substitution, which was attributed to the introduction of both charge carriers as well as inter-tunnel cobalt vacancies. Finally, the first cycle capacity was enhanced (from 69 mAh/g to 115 mAh/g) as well as the capacity retention over cycling. Chapter 5 demonstrates a novel technique of MW-ST assisted coating of a thin (2-5nm) conformal coating of LiFePO4 on vanadium substituted LiCoPO4. Although the vanadium substitution was able to independently increase the performance of LiCoPO4, the materials still suffers from severe side reactions with the electrolyte. The coating of LiFePO4 effectively raises the Fermi energy of the cathode material above the high occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of the electrolyte preventing side reactions and increase the coulombic efficiency to nearly 100%. Chapter 6 introduces a novel method of producing high surface area, electrically conductive, metal nanofoams via a MW-ST process. Nickel, copper, and silver metal nanofoams are made via an inexpensive yet scalable process whereby metal acetates are reduced by polyglycol under microwave irradiation. The nanofoams were characterized via BET, SEM, XRD, EDS, and TEM. The nanofoams have potential uses in many clean energy applications, particularly lithium-ion batteries. Chapter 7 introduces a new framework for making a new class of high capacity, low-cost alloying anodes for lithium ion batteries. A novel interdigitated metal foil anode (IMFA) in which a nanosized active material, such as tin, is interdigitated with an electrically conductive matrix, such as aluminum, is presented. The foils are formed by the rolling of a eutectic Al-Sn alloy into a foil, which is an extremely cheap and scalable process. The anodes demonstrate an approximately 70% increase in capacity compared to graphite over 100 cycles, at reasonably fast rates (C/5), and high coulombic efficiency (>99%). Finally, Chapter 8 gives a brief overview of the results of the prior work and proposes areas for future research

Abstract: The rechargeable lithium ion batteries (LIB) are playing increasingly important roles in powering portal commercial electronic devices. They are also the potential power sources of electric mobile vehicles. The first kind of the cathode materials, LiXCoO2, was commercialized by Sony Company in 1980s, and it is still widely used today in LIB. However, the high cost of cobalt source, its environmental unfriendliness and the safety issue of LiXCoO2 have hindered its widespread usage today. Searching for alternative cathode materials with low cost of the precursors, being environmentally benign and more stable in usage has become a hot topic in LIB research and development. In the first part of this study, lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (LiNi0.6Mn0.35Co0.05O2) is studied as the electrode. The materials are synthesized at high temperatures by solid state reaction method. The effect of synthesis temperature on the electrochemical performance is investigated, where characterizations by, for example, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), for particle size distribution, specific surface area, and charge-discharge property, are done over samples prepared at different conditions for comparison. The electrochemical tests of the rechargeable Li ion batteries using LiNi0.6Mn0.35Co0.05 cathode prepared at optimum conditions are carried out in various voltage ranges, at different discharge rates and at high temperature. In another set of experiments, the material is adopted as anode with lithium foil as the cathode, and its capacitance is tested. In the second part of this study, the iron based cathode material is investigated. Lithium iron orthosilicate with carbon coating is synthesized at 700℃ by solid state reaction, which is assisted by high energy ball milling. Characterizations are done for discharge capacities of the samples with different carbon weight ratio coatings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simon Greiner investigates the molecular-level stabilization of polyoxovanadate (POV) compounds by rational design for the application as active cathode material in lithium-ion batteries. Formation of a complex hydrogen-bonding network locks the POVs in place and prevents thermal decomposition during electrode fabrication. The molecular vanadium oxide clusters can be electrochemically analyzed and show promising results for storage of multiple electrons per cluster, making these materials highly attractive for energy storage applications. Analytical methods comprise ATR-FTIR, powder and single-crystal XRD, electron microscopy, EDX, electrochemical analysis and battery testing.

Book excerpt: Today, the Lithium ion (Li-ion) is the fastest growing and most promising rechargeable battery chemistry. For high current demands, there is an emphasis on the importance of very low cell resistance to allow unrestricted flow of current. The electrochemical performance of Li-ion batteries relies significantly on the properties of the cathode materials, the anode materials and the electrolytes. In this study, novel anode and cathode materials were synthesized and systematically studied for Li-ion battery application. Novel anode synthesis involved the substitution of the flat foil current collectors normally used by nano- or micro-wire arrays, as the higher surface area makes it possible to pack much more active material into an electrode. Ni or Cu wire arrays with wire thicknesses of 200 nm, 400 nm or 1 \03BCm were synthesised. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were chosen as the Li-insertion compound due to its high theoretical reversible lithium storage capacity. Synthesis of the Cu or Ni/CNT consolidated composite anodes were done using novel synthetic techniques, combining template synthesis via electrochemical deposition and chemical vapour deposition (CVD) techniques. XRD analysis of both the Ni and Cu wire arrays after carbon nanotube deposition, confirmed that the crystallinity of the wire arrays were not altered by the CVD of carbon nanotubes. The optimal results were obtained for the 200 nm Cu/CNT consolidated composite anode. The current density obtained for the Li de-intercalation (\03AFp) was 0.463 A/g. A reversible discharge capacity of 358 mAh/g was obtained in the subsequent charge/discharge cycling. The composite anode materials showed good charge/discharge cycling performances and a high capacity integrity was maintained in the cycling behaviour analyses.

Book excerpt: Die steigenden Anforderungen an Lithium-Ionen-Batterien mit hoher spezifischer Leistung und Energie haben zur Entwicklung von mehreren Klassen von Materialien für die positive Elektrode geführt. Darunter sind unter anderem die vielversprechenden LiNixMnyCo1-x-yO2 (NMC) Materialien. In diesem Zusammenhang ist das Thema dieser Arbeit eine umfangreichen Studie der elektrochemischen und strukturellen Eigenschaften des ursprünglichen Materials NMC (3:1:1) (LiNi0.6Mn0.2Co0.2O2) und der drei neuen Materialien, die entweder durch Mono-Substitution von Co mit Al oder Fe: NMCA (LiNi0.6Mn0.2Co0.15Al0.05O2) und NMCF (LiNi0.6Mn0.2Co0.15Fe0.05O2) oder durch doppelte Substitution von Co mit Al und Fe NMCAF (LiNi0.6Mn0.2Co0.15Al0.025 Fe0.025O2) hergestellt wurden. Im ersten Schritt wurde eine Optimierung der Synthesebedingungen durchgeführt. Dazu wurden verschiedene Verfahren (z.B. Röntgenbeugung, Rasterelektronenmikroskopie) verwendet, um homogene Phasen mit gut geordneter Struktur zu erhalten. Im zweiten Schritt wurden Struktur, morphologische und elektrochemische Eigenschaften der vier Materialien untersucht. Eine detailliertere Untersuchung wurde NMCAF gewidmet. Dieses Material zeigte die besten elektrochemischen Eigenschaften im Vergleich zu den ursprünglichen und den mono-substituierten Materialien. Ziel ist es zu verstehen, was die Mechanismen hinter der Verbesserung des elektrochemischen Verhaltens des doppelsubstituierten Materials sind. Schließlich wurde der Sicherheitsaspekt von NMCAF auf Basis einer detaillierten Untersuchung der thermischen Stabilität während der Lithium-Ionen-Deinterkalation diskutiert.
