Title: Anomalous interfacial stress generation during sodium intercalation/extraction in MoS 2 thin-film anodes

Abstract

Although the generation of mechanical stress in the anode material is suggested as a possible reason for electrode degradation and fading of storage capacity in batteries, only limited knowledge of the electrode stress and its evolution is available at present. Here, we show real-time monitoring of the interfacial stress of a few-layer MoS2 system under the sodiation/desodiation process using microcantilever electrodes. During the first sodiation with a voltage plateau of 1.0 to 0.85 V, the MoS2 exhibits a compressive stress (2.1 Nm-1), which is substantially smaller than that measured (9.8 Nm-1) during subsequent plateaus at 0.85 to 0.4 V due to the differential volume expansion of the MoS2film. The conversion reaction to Mo below 0.1 V generates an anomalous compressive stress of 43 Nm-1with detrimental effects. These results also suggest the existence of a separate discharge stage between 0.6 and 0.1 V, where the generated stress is only approximately one-third of that observed below 0.1 V. This approach can be adapted to help resolve the localized stress in a wide range of electrode materials, to gain additional insights into mechanical effects of charge storage, and for long-lifetime battery design.

Fig. 1 Fig. 1: Electrochemistry performance of MoS2 evaluated in traditional coin cell battery setup. Galvanostatic charge/discharge curves of two identical MoS2 half-cell (versus Na) coin-cell batteries at 0.05 Ag−1 are shown. The first battery was directly discharged to 0.01 V (A); the second battery was consequently discharged to 1.0 V (fig.more » S2), 0.85 V (B), 0.4 V (C), and 0.01 V (D) for three cycles each.« less
