Abstract

Understanding electronic structure is vital to enhance the battery performance. Soft X-ray spectroscopy (SXS) is one of most effective methods to provide direct probe of electronic states. Here, spectroscopic measurements of transition metal 3d and oxygen 2p states are simply reviewed. Then, we mainly focus on the perspective of the development direction of modern SXS techniques. While the true power of recently developed high efficiency mapping of resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (mRIXS) has been apparent for materials and chemistry studies. Great challenges remain for mRIXS spectroscopic interpretation, and the understanding of the battery materials on novel redox activities remains elusive.

Anionic and cationic redox and interfaces in batteries: Advances from soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy to resonant inelastic scattering

Journal Article Yang, Wanli ; Devereaux, Thomas P. - Journal of Power Sources

Recent advances in battery science and technology have triggered both the challenges and opportunities on studying the materials and interfaces in batteries. In this paper, we review the recent demonstrations of soft X-ray spectroscopy for studying the interfaces and electrode materials. The focus of this review is on the recently developed mapping of resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (mRIXS) as a powerful probe of battery chemistry with superior sensitivity. Six different channels of soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy (sXAS) are introduced for different experimental purposes. Although conventional sXAS channels remain effective tools for quantitative analysis of the transition-metal states and surface chemistry,more »« less

Redox Mechanism in Na-Ion Battery Cathodes Probed by Advanced Soft X-Ray Spectroscopy

Journal Article Wu, Jinpeng ; Shen, Zhi-xun ; Yang, Wanli - Frontiers in Chemistry

A Na-ion battery (NIB) device is a promising solution for mid-/large-scale energy storage, with the advantages of material abundance, low cost, and environmental benignity. To improve the NIB capacity and retainability, extensive efforts have been put into the developments of NIB electrode materials. The redox activities of the transition metal (TM)-based NIB electrodes are critical in defining the capacity and stability. Here, we provide a comprehensive review on recent studies of the redox mechanisms of NIB cathodes through synchrotron-based soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy (sXAS) and mapping of resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (mRIXS). These soft X-ray techniques are direct and effectivemore »« less

Advances in soft X-ray RIXS for studying redox reaction states in batteries

Journal Article Wu, Jue ; Yang, Yong ; Yang, Wanli - Dalton Transactions

Redox (reduction and oxidation) chemistry provides the fundamental basis for numerous energy-related electrochemical devices. Detecting the electrochemical redox chemistry is pivotal but challenging because it requires independent probes of the cationic and anionic redox states at different electrochemical states. Here, the synchrotron-based soft X-ray mapping of resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (mRIXS) has recently emerged as a powerful tool for exploring such states in electrochemical devices, especially batteries. High-efficiency mRIXS covers the energy range of the absorption edge with the extra dimension of information on the emitted photon energies. In this frontier article, we review recent representative demonstrations of utilizing softmore »« less

Interfacial properties in energy storage systems studied by soft x-ray absorption spectroscopy and resonant inelastic x-ray scattering

Journal Article Li, Qinghao ; Yan, Shishen ; Yang, Wanli - Journal of Chemical Physics

Interfacial behaviors and properties play critical roles in determining key practical parameters of electrochemical energy storage systems, such as lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries. Soft x-ray spectroscopy features shallow penetration depth and demonstrates inherent surface sensitivity to characterize the interfacial behavior with elemental and chemical sensitivities. Here, we present a brief survey of modern synchrotron-based soft x-ray spectroscopy of the interface in electrochemical energy storage systems. The technical focus includes core-level spectroscopy of conventional x-ray absorption spectroscopy and resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS). We show that while conventional techniques remain powerful for probing the chemical species on the surface, today’s materialmore »« less

In Situ/Operando (Soft) X-ray Spectroscopy Study of Beyond Lithium-ion Batteries

Journal Article Yang, Feipeng ; Feng, Xuefei ; Liu, Y. ‐Sheng ; ... - Energy & Environmental Materials

The lightweight, rechargeable lithium-ion battery is one of the dominant energy storage devices globally in portable electronics due to its high energy density, no memory effect, wide operating voltage, lightweight, and good charge efficiency. However, due to safety concerns, the depletion of lithium reserves, and the corresponding increase of cost, an alternative battery system becomes more and more desirable. To develop alternative battery systems with low cost and high material abundance, for example, sodium, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, it is important to understand the chemical and electronic structure of materials. Additionally, soft X-ray spectroscopy, for example, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS),more »« less
