Title: Revealing the electronic structure of LiC₆ by soft X-ray spectroscopy

Abstract

The electronic structure of LiC₆ has been investigated in this paper by soft X-ray absorption and emission spectroscopies. The results reveal that upon full lithiation of graphite, the Li 2s electrons are transferred into the carbon π* states in a near rigid-band behavior, resulting in the increased density of states near E_F and the shift of σ* states to lower energies. Finally, in addition, the resonant inelastic X-ray scattering spectra of LiC₆ do not show strong dispersive features as that of graphite, indicating that the crystal momentum is not conserved during the scattering process due to the delocalization of electrons in the intermediate state.

Electronic structure changes upon lithium intercalation into graphite – Insights from ex situ and operando x-ray Raman spectroscopy

Journal Article Boesenberg, Ulrike ; Sokaras, Dimosthenis ; Nordlund, Dennis ; ... - Carbon

This study probes the electrochemical intercalation mechanism of Li into graphitic carbon using x-ray Raman spectroscopy (XRS), an inelastic x-ray scattering technique. Operando and high resolution spectra of electrochemically lithiated composite graphitic electrodes at discrete states of Li uptake (stages III, II and I) show gradually changing spectral features with Li intercalation, the end state agreeing well with chemically fully lithiated LiC₆ highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG). The two most dominant changes in the XRS spectrum of the C-K edge are the reduced intensity of themore »« less

High-temperature lattice-liquid in-plane structure of LiC/sub 6/: A neutron scattering study

Journal Article Kim, H J ; Magerl, A ; Soubeyroux, J L ; ... - Phys. Rev. B: Condens. Matter; (United States)

We studied the short-range Li ordering above the sublattice melting transition in the prototype graphite intercalation compound LiC/sub 6/. The fraction of locally commensurate Li above T/sub m/ was determined from the temperature dependence of the graphite G (100) structure factor. We used the fact that the thermal neutron scattering lengths of /sup 6/Li and /sup 7/Li are of opposite sign to show qualitatively that this fraction is close to unity; quantitative analysis places an upper bound of 10% on the incommensurate fraction. Thus, the disordered state of LiC/sub 6/ is characterized as essentially a lattice liquid, consistent with themore »« less

Soft X-ray emission spectroscopy of liquids and lithium batterymaterials

Thesis/Dissertation Augustsson, Andreas

Lithium ion insertion into electrode materials is commonly used in rechargeable battery technology. The insertion implies changes in both the crystal structure and the electronic structure of the electrode material. Side-reactions may occur on the surface of the electrode which is exposed to the electrolyte and form a solid electrolyte interface (SEI). The understanding of these processes is of great importance for improving battery performance. The chemical and physical properties of water and alcohols are complicated by the presence of strong hydrogen bonding. Various experimental techniques have been used to study geometrical structures and different models have been proposed tomore »« less

Electronic-structure investigation of CeB{sub 6} by means of soft-x-ray scattering

Journal Article Magnuson, M ; Butorin, S M ; Guo, J -H ; ... - Physical Review B

The electronic structure of the heavy fermion compound CeB{sub 6} is probed by resonant inelastic soft-x-ray scattering using photon energies across the Ce 3d and 4d absorption edges. The hybridization between the localized 4f orbitals and the delocalized valence-band states is studied by identifying the different spectral contributions from inelastic Raman scattering and normal fluorescence. Pronounced energy-loss structures are observed below the elastic peak at both the 3d and 4d thresholds. The origin and character of the inelastic scattering structures are discussed in terms of charge-transfer excitations in connection to the dipole allowed transitions with 4f character. Calculations within themore »« less

Interlayer interactions in LiC{sub 6}: Compressibility and thermal expansion

Journal Article Zhou, P ; Fischer, J E ; Laboratory for Research on the Structure of Matter, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104-6272 - Physical Review, B: Condensed Matter

Interlayer interactions in the prototype stage-1 graphite intercalation compound LiC{sub 6} are probed by neutron diffraction measurements of {ital c}-axis compressibility {kappa}{sub {ital c}} at 300 K and {ital c}-axis thermal expansion {alpha}{sub {ital c}} in the interval 300{endash}700 K. We find a constant {kappa}{sub {ital c}}=1.43{plus_minus}0.02{times}10{sup {minus}12} cm{sup 2}/dyn for hydrostatic pressures {le} 23 kbar, about half that of graphite. In contrast, {alpha}{sub {ital c}}= 59{times}10{sup {minus}6}/K, twice that of graphite. Estimates of effective {ital c}-axis Gr{umlt u}neisen parameters show that the interlayer potential in LiC{sub 6} is in fact considerably more anharmonic than that of graphite.
