Title: Applications of XPS in the characterization of Battery materials

Abstract

In this study, technological development requires reliable power sources where energy storage devices are emerging as a critical component. Wide range of energy storage devices, Redox-flow batteries (RFB), Lithium ion based batteries (LIB), and Lithium-sulfur (LSB) batteries are being developed for various applications ranging from grid-scale level storage to mobile electronics. Material complexities associated with these energy storage devices with unique electrochemistry are formidable challenge which needs to be address for transformative progress in this field. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) - a powerful surface analysis tool - has been widely used to study these energy storage materials because of its ability to identify, quantify and image the chemical distribution of redox active species. However, accessing the deeply buried solid-electrolyte interfaces (which dictates the performance of energy storage devices) has been a challenge in XPS usage. Herein we report our recent efforts to utilize the XPS to gain deep insight about these interfaces under realistic conditions with varying electrochemistry involving RFB, LIB and LSB.

Secondary batteries based on lithium are the most significant energy storage technology for contemporary portable devices. The lithium ion battery (LIB) in widespread commercial use today is a compromise technology. It compromises high energy, high power, and design flexibility for long cell operating lifetimes and safety. Materials science, transport phenomena, and electrochemistry in the electrodes and electrolyte that constitute such batteries are areas of active study worldwide because significant improvements in storage capacity and cell lifetime are required to meet new demands, including the electrification of transportation and for powering emerging autonomous aircraft and robotics technologies.

XPS on Li-Battery-Related Compounds: Analysis of Inorganic SEI Phases and a Methodology for Charge Correction

Journal Article Wood, Kevin N. ; Teeter, Glenn - ACS Applied Energy Materials

Accurate identification of chemical phases associated with the electrode and solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) is critical for understanding and controlling interfacial degradation mechanisms in lithium-containing battery systems. To study these critical battery materials and interfaces X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is a widely used technique that provides quantitative chemical insights. However, due to the fact that a majority of chemical phases relevant to battery interfaces are poor electronic conductors, phase identification that relies primarily on absolute XPS core-level binding-energies (BEs) can be problematic. Charging during XPS measurements leads to BE shifts that can be difficult to correct. These difficulties are often exacerbatedmore »« less

Demands for energy storage devices (i.e. batteries) have been increased significantly in recent years, particularly for mobile devices (i.e. cellphones, laptops, etc.), electric vehicles, and renewable energy harvesting systems requiring high quality and sustainable power storage systems. To better serve a wide range of applications, these devices should possess high energy densities, wide operation temperatures, high safety and operation durability, and be economically affordable. Lithium-ion based batteries (LIB) have demonstrated practical energy densities of 100~300 Wh/kg.

Oxides and their tailored structures are at the heart of electrochemical energy storage technologies and advances in understanding and controlling the dynamic behaviors in the complex oxides, particularly at the interfaces, during electrochemical processes will catalyze creative design concepts for new materials with enhanced and better-understood properties. Such knowledge is not accessible without new analytical tools. New innovative experimental techniques are needed for understanding the chemistry and structure of the bulk and interfaces, more importantly how they change with electrochemical processes in situ.
