Beneficial Effects of La 0.5 Sr 0.5 CoO 3 Coatings on Thin‐Film LiMn 2 O 4 Cathodes for Lithium Ion Batteries
Abstract
Abstract The severe capacity loss of spinel LiMn 2 O 4 (LMO) limits the utility of this otherwise promising lithium ion battery cathode material. One of the strategies to mitigate capacity fade is applying a coating on LMO particle surfaces. While this approach yields promising results, there is limited understanding of mechanisms whereby coatings improve LMO capacity retention. Herein, the effects of a new protective coating material, La 0.5 Sr 0.5 CoO 3 (LSCO), in a thin‐film battery geometry that is amenable to fundamental studies of electrode processes, are reported. RF sputtering deposition is used to produce high quality 25–100 nm LMO cathodes on Al 2 O 3 substrates with an intervening Pt/Ti back‐side contact layer. Cycling of the un‐coated cathodes results in capacity loss of 18% over 300 cycles. Adding a 2 nm LSCO layer reduces the capacity loss to 3%. While this may be due in part to reduced Mn dissolution, scanning transmission electron microscopy results indicate that the coating helps to preserve crystallinity and reduce lattice structure distortion due to inhibited formation of defect tetragonal spinel. Three‐electrode electrochemical impedance spectroscopy results reveal that the LSCO coating increases charge transfer and ohmic resistances, but the increases are generally too smallmore »
