  1. Routes towards high-capacity and high-rate Li ion insertion batteries Miran Gaberšček1,2 1National Institute of Chemistry, Ljubljana, Slovenia 2Faculty of Chemistry and Chem. Technol., University of Ljubljana, Slovenia

  2. Development of Li-ion batteries Higher energy density Small electronic devices and small batteries Higher power density Environmentally friendly Higher safety

  3. Principle of Li ion battery operation Anode: Cathode: C6 + xLi+ + xe- LixC6LiCoO6  LixCoO6 + (1-x) Li+ + (1-x)e-

  4. CATHODES (+) ANODES (-) From J.-M. Tarascon, M. Armand, Nature, 2001, vol 414, p.359. Overview of Li ion battery materials

  5. Promising candidates for high capacity LixM2-yMyO4 M = transition element Good candidates: Ge, Sb, As, P, Si, Ti Li2MSiO4 Our choice No 1: M = Si Our choice No 2: M = Ti Li2MTiO4 M=Fe, Mn, Ni, V

  6. STRUCTURE 1 Orthorhombic unit cell, space group Pmn21

  7. STRUCTURE 2 (cubic rock-salt structure with cationic disorder, space group Fm3m) • Li2FeTiO4 - LFT • Li2MnTiO4 - LMT • Li2NiTiO4 - LNT - oxygen Multicoloured balls - Li, Fe, Ti

  8. Do we observe exchange of more than 1 Li in Li2MSiO4or in Li2MTiO4?

  9. Note: Capacity depends on the voltage window Increasing voltage Increasing capacity

  10. Cycling stability is moderate

  11. Time-limited experiment above 3.8 V additional capacity was detected no structural changes observed reversible SEI formation? In-situ XRD nanosized LFT Voltage-limited experiment single phase insertion mechanism red. 1.4 %contraction of unit-cell volume ox.

  12. as-prepared material (19.5 at.% of Fe3+) reduction process introduces higher disorder structural changes are not fully reversible In-situMössbauer spectroscopy for nanosized LFT Time-limited experiment complete oxidation Fe2+ to Fe3+ + additional capacity above 3.9 V was observed end of reduction no change in Fe ox. state in last two spectra reversible SEI formation

  13. oxygen neigh. Fe2+ oxidation Fe3+ In-situ XAS for nanosized LFT (EXAFS spectra) 3+3 octahedral deformation (as-prepared sample) Jahn-Teller octahedral deformation on the induvidualcrystallographic site 4+2 octahedral deformation (completely oxidized sample)

  14. Partial conclusion • Silicates and titanates can give high • reversible capacities (< 300 mAh/g) • No direct proof that more than 1 e- is exchanged • (example: in Li2MnTiO4 only 1 Li is exchanged = 150 mAh/g) 3. At high and low potential additional reversible capacity is observed 4. The origin of additional capacity is still unclear

  15. PROBLEM OF BATTERY POWER Electric power: P = UI Special case: UI , U=f(I) Electric power density: p = m URI 1C =170 mA/g Polarization (due to internal “resistance”)

  16. Two transport steps: 1. Toward active particles 2. Inside active particles 1 2 2 1 Major sources of internal resistance

  17. 50-200nm L2  = Dchem How to decrease resistance inside solid particles? 1-30 m

  19. Measured Electrode Resistance, Rm (U/I) as a function of particle diameter THEORY: LiFePO4 with ad-mixed carbon black carbon-coated LiFePO4 with ad-mixed carbon black

  20. 50-200 nm 1-30 m L2  = Dchem ? 5-10 nm Can wefurther decrease particle size?

  23. Impact of surface treatment on morphology development

  24. Impact of morphology on power capability and capacity Small particles, + loose structure Smaller polarization= BIGGER POWER! Bigger particles + more compact structure J. Jamnik, R. Dominko, B. Erjavec, M. Remskar, A. Pintar, M. Gaberscek, Adv. Mater.21,2715 (2009).

  25. Impact on cycling and on current density Increasing current density J. Jamnik, R. Dominko, B. Erjavec, M. Remskar, A. Pintar, M. Gaberscek, Adv. Mater.21,2715 (2009).

  26. Why do we always see hysteresis between charge and discharge? W.Dreyer, J. Jamnik, ..and M. Gaberscek, Nature Materials 9, 448 (2010).

  27. Model assumptions Two main assumptions: (i)The chemical potential of the individual particle is a non-monotone function of the Li mole fraction. (ii) Network consists of manyparticles. W.Dreyer, J. Jamnik, ..and M. Gaberscek, Nature Materials 9, 448 (2010).
