Abstract

Li ₂Ni _1–xCu _xO ₂ solid solutions were prepared by a solid-state method to study the correlation between composition and electrochemical performance. Cu incorporation improved the phase purity of Li ₂Ni _1–xCu _xO ₂ with orthorhombic Immm structure, resulting in enhanced capacity. However, the electrochemical profiles suggested Cu incorporation did not prevent irreversible phase transformation during the electrochemical process, instead, it likely influenced the phase transformation upon lithium removal. By combining ex situ X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), and differential electrochemical mass spectrometry (DEMS) measurements, this study elucidates the relevant phase transformation (e.g., crystal structure, local environment, and charge compensation) and participation of electrons from lattice oxygen during the first cycle in these complex oxides.

Structural transformations in high-capacity Li ₂Cu _0.5Ni _0.5O ₂ cathodes

Journal Article Ruther, Rose E. ; Pandian, Amaresh Samuthira ; Yan, Pengfei ; ... - Chemistry of Materials

Cathode materials that can cycle >1 Li ⁺ per transition metal are of substantial interest for increasing the overall energy density of lithium-ion batteries. Li ₂Cu _0.5Ni _0.5O ₂ has a very high theoretical capacity of ~500 mAh/g assuming both Li+ ions are cycled reversibly. The Cu ^2+/3+ and Ni ^2+/3+/4+ redox couples are also at high voltage, which could further boost the energy density of this system. Despite such promise, Li ₂Cu _0.5Ni _0.5O ₂ undergoes irreversible phase changes during charge (delithiation) that result in large first-cycle irreversible loss and poor long-term cycling stability. Oxygen evolves before the Cumore »« less

Synthesis, Structure, and Electrochemical Performance of High Capacity Li ₂Cu _0.5Ni _0.5O ₂ Cathodes

Journal Article Ruther, Rose E ; Zhou, Hui ; Dhital, Chetan ; ... - Chemistry of Materials

Orthorhombic Li ₂NiO ₂, Li ₂CuO ₂, and solid solutions thereof have been studied as potential cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries due to their high theoretical capacity and relatively low cost. While neither endmember shows good cycling stability, the intermediate composition, Li ₂Cu _0.5Ni _0.5O ₂, yields reasonably high reversible capacities. A new synthetic approach and detailed characterization of this phase and the parent Li ₂CuO ₂ are presented. The cycle life of Li ₂Cu _0.5Ni _0.5O ₂ is shown to depend critically on the voltage window. The formation of Cu ¹⁺ at low voltage and oxygen evolution at highmore »« less

Journal Article Johnson, C S ; Kahaian, A J ; Kim, J -S ; ... - Electrochem. Commun.

The electrochemical reactions of lithium with layered composite electrodes ({chi})LiMn{sub 0.5}Ni{sub 0.5}O{sub 2} {center_dot} (1 - {chi})Li{sub 2}TiO{sub 3} were investigated at low voltages. The metal oxide 0.95LiMn{sub 0.5}Ni{sub 0.5}O{sub 2}{center_dot}0.05Li{sub 2}TiO{sub 3} (x=0.95) which can also be represented in layered notation as Li(Mn{sub 0.46}Ni{sub 0.46}Ti{sub 0.05}Li{sub 0.02})O{sub 2}, can react with one equivalent of lithium during an initial discharge from 3.2 to 1.4 V vs. Li{sup 0}.

Ex Situ and Operando XRD and XAS Analysis of MoS ₂: A Lithiation Study of Bulk and Nanosheet Materials

Journal Article Quilty, Calvin D. ; Housel, Lisa M. ; Bock, David C. ; ... - ACS Applied Energy Materials

Molybdenum(IV) sulfide (MoS ₂) has generated significant interest as an electroactive material for Li-ion batteries because of its high theoretical capacity, good rate capability, and minimal volume changes during cycling. An important challenge toward implementing this material is understanding the many polymorphs of MoS ₂ that can be (de)stabilized by electrochemical lithiation and nanosizing. To this end, bulk MoS ₂ and nanosheet-type MoS ₂ were characterized both as solids (X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES)) and during electrochemical cycling within operando X-ray analysis compatible lithium cells (operando XRDmore »« less
