Title: Deliberately Designed Atomic-Level Silver-Containing Interface Results in Improved Rate Capability and Utilization of Silver Hollandite for Lithium-Ion Storage

Abstract

α-MnO₂-structured materials are generally classified as semiconductors, thus we present a strategy to increase electrochemical utilization through design of a conductive material interface. Surface treatment of silver hollandite (Ag_xMn₈O₁₆) with Ag⁺ (Ag₂O) provides significant benefit to the resultant electrochemistry, including a decreased charge transfer resistance, and a 2-fold increase in deliverable energy density at high rate. The improved function of this designed interface relative to conventional electrode fabrication strategies is further highlighted.

Review of the Stability/Capacity Trade-off in Silver Hollandite Lithium Battery Cathodes

Journal Article Smith, Paul F. ; Lutz, Diana M. ; Takeuchi, Esther S. ; ... - MRS Advances

ABSTRACT Highly detailed structural characterization is required to understand the discharge mechanism in order to effectively investigate α-MnO₂structured lithium battery cathode materials. This paper discusses recent findings which elucidate the lithiation mechanism of silver-hollandite, Ag_xMn₈O₁₆. For Ag_1.2Mn₈O₁₆, the structure is not significantly perturbed during the first 2 equivalents of lithiation and the electrochemistry is highly reversible. Upon 4 equivalents of lithiation, the structure becomes highly distorted, in correlation with capacity fade observed over 40 cycles. Notably, regarding capacity fade, modifications to Ag/Mn ratio are less impactful than modifications to the α-MnO₂crystallite size. This is shown in comparisons of two materialsmore »« less

Deconvolution of Composition and Crystallite Size of Silver Hollandite Nanorods: Influence on Electrochemistry

Journal Article Durham, Jessica L. ; Huang, Jianping ; Zhang, Bingjie ; ... - Journal of the Electrochemical Society

In this paper, silver hollandite (Ag_1.4Mn₈O₁₆) has been synthesized by an aqueous, low-temperature co-precipitation technique to afford silver hollandite with distinct crystallite sizes (10 and 15 nm, identified as S-Ag_1.4Mn₈O₁₆ and L-Ag_1.4Mn₈O₁₆, respectively) and equivalent silver content (x), allowing for the deconvolution of electrochemical effects related to crystallite size and silver content. The as-prepared silver hollandite materials were confirmed to be structurally analogous. Notably, TEM imaging reveals a high degree of bundling of S-Ag_1.4Mn₈O₁₆ nanorods compared to L-Ag_1.4Mn₈O₁₆ which facilitates more intimate connection of the S-Ag_1.4Mn₈O₁₆ material with enhanced interparticle contact. The electrochemical behavior and lithium diffusion properties were investigatedmore »« less

The Effect of Silver Ion Occupancy on Hollandite Lattice Structure

Journal Article Brady, Alexander B. ; Huang, Jianping ; Durham, Jessica L. ; ... - MRS Advances

The effect of tunnel cations on tunnel size in α-MnO₂structured (hollandite, cryptomelane) materials has long been of interest, as the tunnel size effects catalytic and transport properties. Previous research on the tunnel size has focused on potassium cryptomelane (K_xMn₈O₁₆). This paper uses synthetic control of silver content in Ag_xMn₈O₁₆to investigate the effect that tunnel silver occupancy has on the lattice parameters. Materials with silver (x) content between 1.14 and 1.66 were synthesized, synchrotron diffraction and Rietveld Refinement was used to determine lattice parameters. The lattice parameters were found to contract as silver content increases (from 9.774 Å to 9.738 Å),more »« less

Tailoring the Ag⁺ Content within the Tunnels and on the Exposed Surfaces of α-MnO₂ Nanowires: Impact on Impedance and Electrochemistry

Journal Article Zhang, Bingjie ; Smith, Paul F. ; Lee, Seung-Yong ; ... - Journal of the Electrochemical Society

Efficient conduction of both electrons and cations (e.g., Li⁺) has a profound effect on the current and capacity of lithium-based batteries. With this study, we focus on cathode effects, with the preparation of pure silver hollandite materials with variable silver ion content within (intra-tunnel) and on the surface of α-MnO₂ tunneled materials, followed by the measurement and analysis of impedance and electrochemistry data. Specifically, pure Ag_xMn₈O_16-y materials with low (x = 1.13) and high (x = 1.54) intra-tunnel silver content are compared with Ag_xMn₈O_16-y·aAg₂O (a = 0.25, 0.63, 1.43) composites prepared via a new Ag₂O coating strategy.

Structural Defects of Silver Hollandite, Ag_xMn₈O_y, Nanorods: Dramatic Impact on Electrochemistry

Journal Article Wu, Lijun ; Xu, Feng ; Zhu, Yimei ; ... - ACS Nano

Hollandites (OMS-2) are an enticing class of sorbents, catalysts, and energy storage materials with a tunnel structure permitting one-dimensional insertion and deinsertion of ions and small molecules along the c direction. A 7-fold increase in delivered capacity for Li/Ag_xMn₈O₁₆ electrochemical cells (160 versus 23 mAh/g) observed upon a seemingly small change in silver content (x ~1.1 (L-Ag-OMS-2) and 1.6 (H-Ag-OMS-2)) led us to characterize the structure and defects of the silver hollandite material. In this work, Ag hollandite nanorods are studied through the combined use of local (atomic imaging, electron diffraction, electron energy-loss spectroscopy) and bulk (synchrotron based X-ray diffraction,more »« less
