Hierarchical structured Mn₂O₃ nanomaterials with excellent electrochemical properties for lithium ion batteries.

ABSTRACT: A series of Mn₂O₃ nanomaterials with hierarchical porous structures was synthesized using three types of leaves as templates. In addition to their different morphologies, different porous nanostructures were achieved by choosing different leaves. The Mn₂O₃ nanomaterial prepared by using gingko leaves as a template provides a larger pore volume and a higher Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area. At the same time, this material also displays excellent electrochemical performance, that is, the specific capacities are 1274.6 mA h g^-1 after 300 cycles and 381.5 mA h g^-1 at current densities of 300 and 3000 mA g^-1, respectively.

Mechanochemical synthesis of Li₂MnO₃ shell/LiMO₂ (M = Ni, Co, Mn) core-structured nanocomposites for lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:Core/shell-like nanostructured xLi2MnO3·(1-x)LiMO2 (M = Ni, Co, Mn) composite cathode materials are successfully synthesized through a simple solid-state reaction using a mechanochemical ball-milling process. The LiMO2 core is designed to have a high-content of Ni, which increases the specific capacity. The detrimental surface effects arising from the high Ni-content are countered by the Li2MnO3 shell, which stabilizes the nanoparticles. The electrochemical performances and thermal stabilities of the synthesized nanocomposites are compared with those of bare LiMO2. In particular, the results of time-resolved X-ray diffraction (TR-XRD) analyses of xLi2MnO3·(1-x)LiMO2 nanocomposites as well as their differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) profiles demonstrate that the Li2MnO3 shell is effective in stabilizing the LiMO2 core at high temperatures, making the nanocomposites highly suitable from a safety viewpoint.

Pomegranate-Like Structured Si@SiOx Composites With High-Capacity for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Silicon anodes with an extremely high theoretical specific capacity of 4,200 mAh g-1 have been considered as one of the most promising anode materials for next-generation lithium-ion batteries. However, the large volume expansion during lithiation hinders its practical application. In this work, pomegranate-like Si@SiOx composites were prepared using a simple spray drying process, during which silicon nanoparticles reacted with oxygen and generated SiOx on the surface. The thickness of the SiOx layer was tuned by adjusting the drying temperature. In the unique architecture, the SiOx which serves as the protection layer and the void space in pomegranate-like structure could alleviate the volume expansion during repeated lithium insertion/extraction. As a lithium-ion battery anode, pomegranate-like Si@SiOx composites dried at 180°C delivered a high specific capacity of 1746.5 mAh g-1 after 300 cycles at 500 mA g-1.

MoO3@MoS2 Core-Shell Structured Hybrid Anode Materials for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:We explore a phase engineering strategy to improve the electrochemical performance of transition metal sulfides (TMSs) in anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). A one-pot hydrothermal approach has been employed to synthesize MoS2 nanostructures. MoS2 and MoO3 phases can be readily controlled by straightforward calcination in the (200-300) °C temperature range. An optimized temperature of 250 °C yields a phase-engineered MoO3@MoS2 hybrid, while 200 and 300 °C produce single MoS2 and MoO3 phases. When tested in LIBs anode, the optimized MoO3@MoS2 hybrid outperforms the pristine MoS2 and MoO3 counterparts. With above 99% Coulombic efficiency (CE), the hybrid anode retains its capacity of 564 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles, and maintains a capacity of 278 mAh g-1 at 700 mA g-1 current density. These favorable characteristics are attributed to the formation of MoO3 passivation surface layer on MoS2 and reactive interfaces between the two phases, which facilitate the Li-ion insertion/extraction, successively improving MoO3@MoS2 anode performance.

Outstanding Electrochemical Performance of Ni-Rich Concentration-Gradient Cathode Material LiNi0.9Co0.083Mn0.017O2 for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:The full-concentrationgradient LiNi0.9Co0.083Mn0.017O2 (CG-LNCM), consisting of core Ni-rich LiNi0.93Co0.07O2, transition zone LiNi1-x-yCoxMnyO2, and outmost shell LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 was prepared by a facile co-precipitation method and high-temperature calcination. CG-LNCM was then investigated with an X-ray diffractometer, ascanning electron microscope, a transmission electron microscope, and electrochemical measurements. The results demonstrate that CG-LNCM has a lower cation mixing of Li+ and Ni2+ and larger Li+ diffusion coefficients than concentration-constant LiNi0.9Co0.083Mn0.017O2 (CC-LNCM). CG-LNCM presents a higher capacity and a better rate of capability and cyclability than CC-LNCM. CG-LNCM and CC-LNCM show initial discharge capacities of 221.2 and 212.5 mAh g-1 at 0.2C (40 mA g-1) with corresponding residual discharge capacities of 177.3 and 156.1 mAh g-1 after 80 cycles, respectively. Even at high current rates of 2C and 5C, CG-LNCM exhibits high discharge capacities of 165.1 and 149.1 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles, respectively, while the residual discharge capacities of CC-LNCM are as low as 148.8 and 117.9 mAh g-1 at 2C and 5C after 100 cycles, respectively. The significantly improved electrochemical performance of CG-LNCM is attributed to its concentration-gradient microstructure and the composition distribution of concentration-gradient LiNi0.9Co0.083Mn0.017O2. The special concentration-gradient design and the facile synthesis are favorable for massive manufacturing of high-performance Ni-rich ternary cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries.

Optimising Hollow-Structured Silicon Nanoparticles for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Silicon has been proven to be one of the most promising anode materials for the next generation of lithium-ion batteries for application in batteries, the Si anode should have high capacity and must be industrially scalable. In this study, we designed and synthesised a hollow structure to meet these requirements. All the processes were carried out without special equipment. The Si nanoparticles that are commercially available were used as the core sealed inside a TiO2 shell, with rationally designed void space between the particles and shell. The Si@TiO2 were characterised using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The optimised hollow-structured silicon nanoparticles, when used as the anode in a lithium-ion battery, exhibited a high reversible specific capacity over 630 mAhg-1, much higher than the 370 mAhg-1 from the commercial graphite anodes. This excellent electrochemical property of the nanoparticles could be attributed to their optimised phase and unique hollow nanostructure.

Nano-Crystalline Li1.2Mn0.6Ni0.2O₂ Prepared via Amorphous Complex Precursor and Its Electrochemical Performances as Cathode Material for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:An amorphous complex precursor with uniform Mn/Ni cation distribution is attempted for preparing a nano-structured layered Li-rich oxide (Li1.2Mn0.6Ni0.2O₂)cathode material, using diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) as a chelating agent. The materials are characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and electrochemical tests. The crystal structure of Li-rich materials is found to be closely related to synthesis temperature. As-obtained nano materials sintered at 850 °C for 10 h show an average size of 200 nm with a single crystal phase and good crystallinity. At a current density of 20 mA·g-1, the specific discharge capacity reaches 221 mAh·g-1 for the first cycle and the capacity retention is 81% over 50 cycles. Even at a current density of 1000 mA·g-1, the capacity is as high as 118 mAh·g-1. The enhanced rate capability can be ascribed to the nano-sized morphology and good crystal structure.

Hierarchical porous LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 with yolk-shell-like architecture as stable cathode material for lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:The relatively sluggish lithium ion diffusion of LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 (NCM) is one of the fatal factors which can significantly prevent its widespread usage in high-power applications. In this work, the monodispersed hierarchical porous yolk-shell-like LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 (YS-NCM) with exposure to {010} electrochemical active facets was successfully synthesized, aiming to elevate the lithium ion diffusion ability and thus to enhance the electrochemical performance. The hierarchical porous nano-/microsphere morphology as well as the voids between the yolk and the shell allow for shortened Li+ diffusion pathways, leading to improved Li+ diffusion capability. These voids are also beneficial for providing more buffers for the volume changes during repeated charge and discharge. Additionally, the exposure of {010} electrochemical active facets provides more open structure for unimpeded Li+ migration. Therefore, by this design strategy, the lithium ion transport kinetics is greatly improved, yielding superior electrochemical performances. When examined as the cathode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), the YS-NCM-based cells have achieved superior rate capability and stable cycling performance, rendering it as a promising cathode candidate for practical lithium-ion battery applications.

Role of Al-doping with different sites upon the structure and electrochemical performance of spherical LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:Al-doped spinel LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 materials with different sites and contents were synthesized by rapid precipitation combined with hydrothermal treatment and calcination. The roles of Al on structural stability and electrochemical performance were studied by utilizing a series of techniques. XRD patterns indicated lower ion diffusion and no impure phased in doped samples. FT-IR and CV results reveal that Al-doped materials possess a Fd3̄m space group with increased disorder and increasing amounts of Mn3+. SEM and TEM equipped with EDS were used to characterize the regular morphology accompanied by a complete crystal structure and homogeneous distribution of elements. The Al content at the Ni, Mn, and Ni/Mn sites was optimized to be 5%, 3% and 5% (in total), respectively. The cycling stability was considerably enhanced at an ambient temperature (25 °C) and high temperature (55 °C). A typical Al dual-doped sample at Ni/Mn sites with 5% content delivered a reversible capacity of 113.5 mA h g-1 after 200 cycles at 0.5C. The discharge capacity at 5, 10 and 20C was 127.3, 125.5 and 123.1 mA h g-1, respectively. The discharge capacity remained at 126 mA h g-1 after 50 cycles (55 °C, 0.5C). Subsequent EIS and analytical results of the cycled electrode showed improved structural stability with a lower resistance, stable cathode/electrolyte interface, and reduced dissolution of Mn. These data further demonstrated the feasibility and reliability of preparing high-performance spinel LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 cathode materials by doping with a suitable amount of Al.

Cobalt-free composite-structured cathodes with lithium-stoichiometry control for sustainable lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:Lithium-ion batteries play a crucial role in decarbonizing transportation and power grids, but their reliance on high-cost, earth-scarce cobalt in the commonly employed high-energy layered Li(NiMnCo)O2 cathodes raises supply-chain and sustainability concerns. Despite numerous attempts to address this challenge, eliminating Co from Li(NiMnCo)O2 remains elusive, as doing so detrimentally affects its layering and cycling stability. Here, we report on the rational stoichiometry control in synthesizing Li-deficient composite-structured LiNi0.95Mn0.05O2, comprising intergrown layered and rocksalt phases, which outperforms traditional layered counterparts. Through multiscale-correlated experimental characterization and computational modeling on the calcination process, we unveil the role of Li-deficiency in suppressing the rocksalt-to-layered phase transformation and crystal growth, leading to small-sized composites with the desired low anisotropic lattice expansion/contraction during charging and discharging. As a consequence, Li-deficient LiNi0.95Mn0.05O2 delivers 90% first-cycle Coulombic efficiency, 90% capacity retention, and close-to-zero voltage fade for 100 deep cycles, showing its potential as a Co-free cathode for sustainable Li-ion batteries.
