Improved Capacity Retention of Lithium Ion Batteries under Fast Charge via Metal-Coated Graphite Electrodes
Abstract
A primary barrier preventing repetitive fast charging of Li-ion batteries is lithium metal plating at the graphite anode. One approach toward mitigating Li metal deposition is the deliberate modification of the graphite anode surface with materials demonstrating high overpotentials unfavorable for Li metal nucleation, such as Ni or Cu nanoscale films. This research explores Ni and Cu surface coatings at different areal loadings (3 or 11 μg cm-2) on the electrochemistry of graphite/LiNi0.6Mn0.2Co0.2O2 (NMC622) type Li-ion batteries. Extended galvanostatic cycling of control and metal-coated electrodes in graphite/NMC622 pouch cells are conducted under high rate conditions. Based on the overpotential of Li deposition on metal foil, both Ni and Cu treatments were anticipated to result in reduced lithium deposition. The higher metal film loadings of 11 μg cm-2 Ni- or Cu-coated electrodes exhibit the highest capacity retention after 500 cycles, with mean improvements of 8% and 9%, respectively, over uncoated graphite electrodes. Li plating quantified by X-ray diffraction indicates that the metal films effectively reduce the quantity of plated Li compared to untreated electrodes, with 11 μg cm-2 Cu providing the greatest benefit.
