Title: Communication—Effect of Lower Cutoff Voltage on the 1^st Cycle Performance of Silicon Electrodes

Abstract

Here, silicon electrodes were cycled once to determine the effect of lower cutoff voltage (LCV) on the irreversible capacity and Li₁₅Si₄ phase presence for a protocol that incorporated a potentiostatic hold at the LCV. Cells lithiated below 90 mV showed indications of the crystalline Li₁₅Si₄ peak, which was absent for cells with lower cutoff voltages above 90 mV. Irreversible capacity loss was independent of the LCV used. While higher LCVs led to lower capacities, this capacity could be recovered with longer potentiostatic holds. Lastly, these longer holds did not lead to Li₁₅Si₄ formation.

Layered oxide, graphite and silicon-graphite electrodes for Lithium-ion cells: Effect of electrolyte composition and cycling windows

Journal Article Klett, Matilda ; Gilbert, James A. ; Pupek, Krzysztof Z. ; ... - Journal of the Electrochemical Society

The electrochemical performance of cells with a Li_1.03(Ni_0.5Co_0.2Mn_0.3)_0.97O₂ (NCM523) positive electrode and a blended silicon-graphite (Si-Gr) negative electrode are investigated using various electrolyte compositions and voltage cycling windows. Voltage profiles of the blended Si-Gr electrode show a superposition of graphite potential plateaus on a sloped Si profile with a large potential hysteresis. The effect of this hysteresis is seen in the cell impedance versus voltage data, which are distinctly different for the charge and discharge cycles. We confirm that the addition of compounds, such as vinylene carbonate (VC) and fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) to the baseline 1.2 M LiPF₆ in ethylenemore »« less

Cost of automotive lithium-ion batteries operating at high upper cutoff voltages

Journal Article Ahmed, Shabbir ; Trask, Stephen E. ; Dees, Dennis W. ; ... - Journal of Power Sources

Here, the potential for operating automotive battery packs at high upper cutoff voltages (UCV) has been explored using preliminary data on eight cathode materials. The pack level energy density, specific energy, and battery cost are calculated using the spreadsheet tool BatPaC. The tool used experimental data for some cathode materials such as the lithiated oxides of nickel manganese cobalt (NMC), nickel cobalt aluminum (NCA), layered lithium- and manganese-rich nickel manganese cobalt (LMRNMC). The half-cell data were obtained at UCVs between 4.2 and 4.7 V vs. Li/Li⁺. The experimental data showed LMRNMC with the highest lithiation capacity gain, increasing from 176more »« less

Intrinsic Kinetic Limitations in Substituted Lithium-Layered Transition-Metal Oxide Electrodes

Journal Article Grenier, Antonin ; Reeves, Philip J. ; Liu, Hao ; ... - Journal of the American Chemical Society

Substituted Li-layered transition-metal oxide (LTMO) electrodes such as Li_xNi_y Mn_zCo_1-y-zO₂ (NMC) and Li_xNi_yCo_1-y-zAl_zO₂ (NCA) show reduced first cycle Coulombic efficiency (90-87% under standard cycling conditions) in comparison with the archetypal Li_xCoO₂ (LCO; similar to 98% efficiency). Focusing on Li_xNi_0.8Co_0.15Al_0.0.5O₂ as a model compound, we use operando synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to demonstrate that the apparent first-cycle capacity loss is a kinetic effect linked to limited Li mobility at x > 0.88, with near full capacity recovered during a potentiostatic hold following the galvanostatic charge- discharge cycle. This kinetic capacity loss, unlike many capacity lossesmore »« less

Surface SiO₂ Thickness Controls Uniform-to-Localized Transition in Lithiation of Silicon Anodes for Lithium-Ion Batteries

Journal Article Schnabel, Manuel ; Harvey, Steven P. ; Arca, Elisabetta ; ... - ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces

Silicon is a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries because of its high capacity, but its widespread adoption has been hampered by a low cycle life arising from mechanical failure and the absence of a stable solid–electrolyte interphase (SEI). Understanding SEI formation and its impact on cycle life is made more complex by the oxidation of silicon materials in air or during synthesis, which leads to SiO_x coatings of varying thicknesses that form the true surface of the electrode. Here, the lithiation of SiO₂-coated Si is studied in a controlled manner using SiO₂ coatings of different thicknesses grown on Simore »« less

Insights into Reactivity of Silicon Negative Electrodes: Analysis Using Isothermal Microcalorimetry

Journal Article Housel, Lisa M. ; Li, Wenzao ; Quilty, Calvin D. ; ... - ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces

Silicon offers high theoretical capacity as a negative electrode material for lithium-ion batteries; however, high irreversible capacity upon initial cycling and poor cycle life have limited commercial adoption. Herein, we report an operando isothermal microcalorimetry (IMC) study of a model system containing lithium metal and silicon composite film electrodes during the first two cycles of (de)lithiation. The total heat flow data are analyzed in terms of polarization, entropic, and parasitic heat flow contributions to quantify and determine the onset of parasitic reactions. These parasitic reactions, which include solid–electrolyte interphase formation, contribute to electrochemical irreversibility. Cycle 1 lithiation demonstrates the highestmore »« less
