Lithiation of multilayer Ni/NiO electrodes: criticality of nickel layer thicknesses on conversion reaction kinetics

Journal Article Evmenenko, Guennadi ; Fister, Timothy T. ; Buchholz, D. Bruce ; ... - Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics. PCCP (Print)

X-ray reflectivity and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to characterize the morphological changes in thin film electrodes with alternating Ni and NiO layers during lithiation as a function of the Ni buffer layer thickness. Complete lithiation of the active NiO layers occurs only when the thickness of the Ni/NiO bilayers are less than 75 Å – a threshold value that is determined by the sum of the Ni quantity in the Ni/NiO bilayer of the multilayer stack. Thicker Ni/NiO bilayers present a kinetic barrier for lithium ion diffusion inside the stack resulting in partial lithiation of the multilayer electrodesmore »« less

Morphological Evolution of Multilayer Ni/NiO Thin Film Electrodes during Lithiation

Journal Article Evmenenko, Guennadi ; Fister, Timothy T. ; Buchholz, D. Bruce ; ... - ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces

Oxide conversion reactions in lithium ion batteries are challenged by substantial irreversibility associated with significant volume change during the phase separation of an oxide into lithia and metal species (e.g., NiO + 2Li(+) + 2e(-) -> Ni + Li2O). We demonstrate that the confinement of nanometer-scale NiO layers within a Ni/NiO multilayer electrode can direct lithium transport and reactivity, leading to coherent expansion of the multilayer. The morphological changes accompanying lithiation were tracked in real-time by in-operando X-ray reflectivity (XRR) and ex situ cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy on well-defined periodic Ni/NiO multilayers grown by pulsed-laser deposition. Comparison of pristine andmore »« less

Reversible Li-ion conversion reaction for a Ti _xGe alloy in a Ti/Ge multilayer

Journal Article Chen, Xiao ; Fister, Tim T. ; Esbenshade, Jennifer ; ... - ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces

Group IV inter-metallics electrochemically alloy with Li with stoichiometries as high as Li _4.4M (M=Si, Ge, Sn or Pb). Furthermore, this provides the second highest known specific capacity (after pure lithium metal) for lithium ion batteries, but the dramatic volume change during cycling greatly limits their use as anodes in Li-ion batteries. We describe an approach to overcome this limitation by constructing electrodes using a Ge/Ti multilayer architecture. In operando X-ray reflectivity and ex situ transmission electron microscopy are used to characterize the hetero-layer structure at various lithium stoichiometries along a lithiation/delithiation cycle. The as-deposited multilayer spontaneously forms a one-dimensionalmore »« less

Strain Coupling of Conversion-type Fe ₃O ₄ Thin Films for Lithium Ion Batteries

Journal Article Hwang, Sooyeon ; Meng, Qingping ; Chen, Ping-Fan ; ... - Angewandte Chemie (International Edition)

Lithiation/delithiation induces significant stresses and strains into the electrodes for lithium ion batteries, which can severely degrade their cycling performance. Moreover, this electrochemically induced strain can interact with the local strain existing at solid–solid interfaces. It is not clear how this interaction affects the lithiation mechanism. The effect of this coupling on the lithiation kinetics in epitaxial Fe ₃O ₄ thin film on a Nb-doped SrTiO ₃ substrate is investigated. In-situ and ex-situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results show that the lithiation is suppressed by the compressive interfacial strain. At the interface between the film and substrate, the existence ofmore »« less

Thick lanthanum zirconate buffer layers from water-based precursor solutions on Ni-5%W substrates

Journal Article Narayanan, Vyshnavi ; Lommens, Petra ; De Buysser, Klaartje ; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

In this work, water-based precursor solutions suitable for dip-coating of thick La{sub 2}Zr{sub 2}O{sub 7} (LZO) buffer layers for coated conductors on Ni-5%W substrates were developed. The solutions were prepared based on chelate chemistry using water as the main solvent. The effect of polymer addition on the maximum crack-free thickness of the deposited films was investigated. This novel solution preparation method revealed the possibility to grow single, crack-free layers with thicknesses ranging 100-280 nm with good crystallinity and an in-plane grain misalignment with average FWHM of 6.55{sup o}. TEM studies illustrated the presence of nanovoids, typical for CSD-LZO films annealedmore »« less
