Abstract

A nonaqueous coprecipitation process has been developed to prepare controlled stoichiometry lithium cobalt oxide precipitates. The process involved mixing a methanolic LiCo-(NO{sub 3}){sub 3} solution with a methanolic solution containing tetramethylammonium oxalate as a precipitating agent. The resulting oxalates were readily converted to phase-pure lithium cobalt oxide at 800 C under an oxygen atmosphere. The various starting solutions, oxalate precipitates, and the resulting oxides have been extensively characterized using a variety of techniques, including multinuclear NMR, TGA/DTA, EPR, and XRD analyses. Results indicate that the strong interaction between the metals (Li and Co) that occurred in solution was maintained during precipitation. The calcined precipitate revealed that the desired LiCoO{sub 2} phase was formed at 800 C under an O{sub 2} atmosphere. When electrochemically cycled, the material exhibited an initial capacity of {approximately}133 (mA h)/g with a fade of 0.02% in capacity per cycle.

Solution synthesis and characterization of lithium manganese oxide cathode materials

Conference Voigt, J A ; Boyle, T J ; Doughty, D H

A nonaqueous coprecipitation process has been developed to prepare controlled stoichiometry lithium manganese oxalate precipitates. The process involved mixing a methanolic Li-Mn nitrate solution with a methanolic solution containing tetramethylammonium oxalate as the precipitating agent. The resulting oxalates were readily converted to a variety of phase pure lithium manganese oxides at moderate temperatures ({le}600{degrees}C), where the phase formed was determined by the initial Li/Mn ratio in the starting solution. Metal cation dopants have been incorporated into the oxalate precipitate by dissolving the appropriate metal nitrate in the Li-Mn precursor solution The various starting solutions, oxalate precipitates, and calcined oxides havemore »« less

A new gel route to synthesize LiCoO{sub 2} for lithium-ion batteries

Journal Article Ding, N ; Ge, X W ; Chen, C H - Materials Research Bulletin

A new synthetic route, i.e. the radiated polymer gel (RPG) method, has been developed and demonstrated for the production of LiCoO{sub 2} powders. The process involved two processes: (1) obtaining a gel by polymerizing a mixed solution of an acrylic monomer and an aqueous solution of lithium and cobalt salts under {gamma}-ray irradiation conditions and (2) obtaining LiCoO{sub 2} powders by drying and calcining the gel. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electron scanning microscopy (SEM) were employed to study the reaction process and the structures of the powders.

Metallic negative electrode materials for rechargeable nonaqueous batteries

Journal Article Ehrlich, G M ; Durand, C ; Chen, X ; ... - Journal of the Electrochemical Society

Metallic negative electrode materials for nonaqueous lithium-ion batteries were prepared, characterized, and demonstrated. The materials with the best electrical performance are nickel-tin alloys, have small particle size, and can incorporate up to 550 mAh/g of lithium. These materials offer specific capacity, capacity density, and reversibility comparable to tin oxides without the high irreversible capacity that has precluded tin oxide commercialization. When cycled calvanostatically, the nickel-tin alloy offer low capacity fade while reversibly incorporating lithium up to 327 mAh/g or 2,740 mAh/mL, over four times the capacity density typical for current carbonaceous Li-ion negative electrode materials. The irreversible capacity associated withmore »« less

Degradation mechanism of over-charged LiCoO ₂/mesocarbon microbeads battery during shallow depth of discharge cycling

Journal Article Zhang, Lingling ; Ma, Yulin ; Cheng, Xinqun ; ... - Journal of Power Sources

LiCoO ₂/mesocarbon microbeads (MCMB) batteries are over-charged to different voltage (4.4 V, 4.5 V, 4.6 V, and 4.7 V, respectively) for ten times, and then are cycled 1000 times for shallow depth of discharge. The morphology, structure, and electrochemical performance of the electrode materials were studied in detail in order to identify the capacity fading mechanism of over-charged battery after long-term cycling. The cycling performances of LiCoO ₂/MCMB batteries are gradually aggravated with the increase of over-charging voltage and the degradation mechanism is diverse upon the degree of over-charging. Furthermore, the capacity fading after long-term cycling of battery over-charged tomore »« less

In-situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy analysis of capacity fade in nanoscale-LiCoO{sub 2}

Journal Article Patridge, Christopher J. ; Love, Corey T., E-mail: corey.love@nrl.navy.mil ; Swider-Lyons, Karen E. ; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

The local structure of nanoscale (∼10–40 nm) LiCoO{sub 2} is monitored during electrochemical cycling utilizing in-situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). The high surface area of the LiCoO{sub 2} nanoparticles not only enhances capacity fade, but also provides a large signal from the particle surface relative to the bulk. Changes in the nanoscale LiCoO{sub 2} metal-oxide bond lengths, structural disorder, and chemical state are tracked during cycling by adapting the delta mu (Δμ) technique in complement with comprehensive extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) modeling. For the first time, we use a Δμ EXAFS method, and by comparison of the differencemore »« less
