Title: Capacity fade in high energy silicon-graphite electrodes for lithium-ion batteries

Abstract

A silicon-graphite blended anode is paired with a high capacity LiFePO₄ reference/counter electrode to track irreversibility and lithium inventory. The LiFePO₄ electrode provides a reliable, flat potential for dQ dV^-1 analysis of Li_xSi and Li_xC electrochemical reactions. We can relate this electrochemistry to the morphological and physical changes taking place.

Improved Capacity Retention of Lithium Ion Batteries under Fast Charge via Metal-Coated Graphite Electrodes

Journal Article Tallman, Killian R. ; Yan, Shan ; Quilty, Calvin D. ; ... - Journal of the Electrochemical Society (Online)

A primary barrier preventing repetitive fast charging of Li-ion batteries is lithium metal plating at the graphite anode. One approach toward mitigating Li metal deposition is the deliberate modification of the graphite anode surface with materials demonstrating high overpotentials unfavorable for Li metal nucleation, such as Ni or Cu nanoscale films. This research explores Ni and Cu surface coatings at different areal loadings (3 or 11 μg cm^-2) on the electrochemistry of graphite/LiNi_0.6Mn_0.2Co_0.2O₂ (NMC622) type Li-ion batteries. Extended galvanostatic cycling of control and metal-coated electrodes in graphite/NMC622 pouch cells are conducted under high rate conditions. Based on the overpotential ofmore »« less

Mitigation of rapid capacity decay in silicon-LiNi_0.6Mn_0.2Co_0.2O₂ full batteries

Journal Article Zhang, Wei ; Son, Seoung-Bum ; Guthrey, Harvey ; ... - Energy Storage Materials

Silicon (Si)-based materials have been considered as the most promising anode materials for high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries because of their higher storage capacity and similar operating voltage, as compared to the commercial graphite (Gr) anode. But the use of Si anodes including silicon-graphite (Si-Gr) blended anodes often leads to rapid capacity decay in Si-Gr/LiNixMnyCo_zO₂ (x+y+z=1) full cells, which has been attributed to surface instability of the Si component. In addition to stabilizing the surface, this work investigates the potential of the Si-Gr blended anodes in a full-cell configuration and its impact on the capacity contribution from active components.

Achieving SEI preformed graphite in flow cell to mitigate initial lithium loss

Journal Article Yu, Yikang ; Yang, Zhenzhen ; Liu, Yuzi ; ... - Carbon

The irreversible lithium loss due to the formation of solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) in the initial cycle on the graphite anode greatly reduces the overall cell energy density of lithium ion batteries, that is, the lost Li ions from forming SEI lead to the decrease of Li ions for the intercalation. The method of cathode prelithiation has been widely explored to compensate this lithium loss. However, these cathode additives with high lithium contents inevitably lower the loading of the cathode active materials. In this work, we report a novel approach to solve this challenge, a facile graphite prelithiation method bymore »« less

Degradation Mechanisms of High Capacity 18650 Cells Containing Si-Graphite Anode and Nickel-Rich NMC Cathode

Journal Article Li, Xuemin ; Colclasure, Andrew M. ; Finegan, Donal P. ; ... - Electrochimica Acta

Application of advanced anode and cathode materials in commercial lithium-ion batteries is attracting attention due to their high capacity. Silicon (Si)/graphite anodes and nickel (Ni)-rich lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide with layered structures have been paired in commercial 18650 high energy density cells (~270 Wh/kg). It is crucial to investigate the cell performance and the aging behavior of this commercial cell. In this study, we present commercial cell degradation mechanisms by comparing fresh and aged electrodes, including changes of crystal structure, morphology, elemental composition, and electrochemical properties. The quantitative analysis was done based on dV/dQ incremental capacity analysis of 18650more »« less

Operando Quantification of (De)Lithiation Behavior of Silicon-Graphite Blended Electrodes for Lithium-Ion Batteries

Journal Article Yao, Koffi Pierre Claver ; Okasinski, John S. ; Kalaga, Kaushik ; ... - Advanced Energy Materials

Due to the high lithium capacity of silicon, the composite (blended) electrodes containing silicon (Si) and graphite (Gr) particles are attractive alternatives to the all-Gr electrodes used in conventional lithium-ion batteries. In this Communication, the lithiation and delithiation in the Si and Gr particles in a 15 wt% Si composite electrode is quantified for each component using energy dispersive X-ray diffraction. This quantification is important as the components cycle in different potential regimes, and interpretation of cycling behavior is complicated by the potential hysteresis displayed by Si. The lithiation begins with Li alloying with Si; lithiation of Gr occurs atmore »« less
