Conversion reaction mechanisms in lithium ion batteries: study of the binary metal fluoride electrodes

Materials that undergo a conversion reaction with lithium (e.g., metal fluorides MF(2): M = Fe, Cu, ...) often accommodate more than one Li atom per transition-metal cation, and are promising candidates for high-capacity cathodes for lithium ion batteries. However, little is known about the mechanisms involved in the conversion process, the origins of the large polarization during electrochemical cycling, and why some materials are reversible (e.g., FeF(2)) while others are not (e.g., CuF(2)). In this study, we investigated the conversion reaction of binary metal fluorides, FeF(2) and CuF(2), using a series of local and bulk probes to better understand the mechanisms underlying their contrasting electrochemical behavior. X-ray pair-distribution-function and magnetization measurements were used to determine changes in short-range ordering, particle size and microstructure, while high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) were used to measure the atomic-level structure of individual particles and map the phase distribution in the initial and fully lithiated electrodes. Both FeF(2) and CuF(2) react with lithium via a direct conversion process with no intercalation step, but there are differences in the conversion process and final phase distribution. During the reaction of Li(+) with FeF(2), small metallic iron nanoparticles (<5 nm in diameter) nucleate in close proximity to the converted LiF phase, as a result of the low diffusivity of iron. The iron nanoparticles are interconnected and form a bicontinuous network, which provides a pathway for local electron transport through the insulating LiF phase. In addition, the massive interface formed between nanoscale solid phases provides a pathway for ionic transport during the conversion process. These results offer the first experimental evidence explaining the origins of the high lithium reversibility in FeF(2). In contrast to FeF(2), no continuous Cu network was observed in the lithiated CuF(2); rather, the converted Cu segregates to large particles (5-12 nm in diameter) during the first discharge, which may be partially responsible for the lack of reversibility in the CuF(2) electrode.

电泳沉积法制备V2O5薄膜的结构和性能

V2O5 thin films were successfully prepared on ITO substrate with electrophoresis deposition (EDP) through V2O5 sol. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were used for studying the structure of the films. The optical and electrochemical properties were measured by the transmittance spectra and cyclic voltammetry measurements, respectively. It is found that V2O5 thin films deposited by EDP are a compact microstructure with finer adhesive force with ITO substrate and the thickness is uniform. During the cycle experiment, the films exhibited reversible two-color (yellow at oxidation and green at reduction) with a maximum transmittance change of around 30%. Moreover, the films had an excellent cycle for lithium intercalation/deintercalation and good cycle stability, the cycle efficiency for the 50th cycle was 88.02% and the films still had fine adhesive force with ITO substrate with no dissolving over more than 50 cycles. The Li+ diffusion coefficient in V2O5 thin film was 5.10×10-12 cm2/s by the electrochemical impedance spectra method. All results indicate that V2O5 thin films by the electrophoresis deposition may be suitable for the use in the electrochromic devices.

Structure and photochromic properties of molybdenumphosphoric acid/TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> composite films

TiO₂ sol-gel composite films with dropping molybdenumphosphoric acid (PMoA) have been prepared by sol-gel method. The structure and constitute of composite thin films were studied with Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) atomic force microscopy (AFM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns, respectively. The photochromic behavior and mechanism of composite thin films were investigated with ultraviolet-visible spectra (UV-vis) and electron spin resonance (ESR). FT-IR results showed that the Keggin geometry of PMoA was still preserved inside PMoA/TiO₂ composite thin films, and a charge transfer bridge was built at the interface of PMoA and TiO₂ through the Mo-O-Ti bond. Surface topography of the composite film showed obvious changes before/after adding PMoA, and the surface topography of composite films showed obvious changes before/after irradiating as well. Composite thin film had reversible photochromic properties. Irradiated with UV light, transparent films changed from colorless to blue and they can bleach completely with ambient air in the dark. ESR results showed that TiO₂ were excitated by UV light to produce electrons, which deoxidized PMoA to produce heteropolyblues. The photochromic process of PMoA/TiO₂ system was carried through electron transfer mechanism.     

Novel Fluorene-Thiophene Copolymers: Synthesis,Photophysical and Electrochemical Properties

Summary: Novel alternating fluorene - thiophene copolymers, F3HT, FIPT , and FPyT , consisting of 9,9-dihexylfluorene and 3-substituted (with hexyl, 3-methylbutyl and 2-(pyren-1-yl)vinyl, respectively) thiophene units were synthesized. Photoluminescence (PL) and electrochemical behavior of these polymers were studied. PL behavior of FPyT polymer differed from that of the other copolymers. Thin films of F3HT and FIPT showed an intense green PL emission whereas the PL emission of FPyT thin films was orange. The PL emission spectra in thin films differ from those measured in THF solutions. Aggregate formation played an important role in the solid state. The aggregation was more pronounced with FPyT than with F3HT and FIPT thin films. In all polymers reversible oxidation and reduction were observed. Similar values of ionization potentials and electron affinities were estimated for F3HT and FIPT , but a higher value of electron affinity for FPyT .     

Multi-electron transfer in composite phthalocyanine thin films: structure and electrochromic properties

Both sequentially deposited double-layered and codeposited composite thin films were prepared by using two kinds of phthalocyanines. The structure and the electrochromic property of these thin films were compared with those of simple phthalocyanine films. The structures of the films were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffrction (XRD) and electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra. From the viewpoint of morphology and crystallinity, codeposited thin films have the same structure as the simple one, having sharp peaks at ca. 2θ=7.0° in the XRD pattern and narrow crystal grains in SEM photographs. ESR measurements have revealed that phthalocyanine molecules disperse very well in the codeposited thin films in a molecular level in comparison with the physical mixture of phthalocyanine powders. This high dispersibility of the molecules in the codeposited thin films can play a role to improve the reversibility in the electrochromism. Thus, the reversibility of the phthalocyanine, which shows irreversible electrochromism in the simple film form, can be improved by the codeposition with another phthalocyanine with reversible electrochromism. In contrast, sequentially deposted double-layered thin film gives completely different results. The electrochromism of the double-layered film depends on the property of the simple phthalocyanine thin film which is in contact with the substrate.     

Photoelectrodes based on acceptor–donor assemblies in functionalized polypyrrole films

The capability to act as molecular photoelectrodes under visible light irradiation of optically transparent electrodes (ITO) modified by thin films of polypyrrole containing several kind of electron acceptor–donor assemblies has been examined. Photolysis of electrodes coated by thin films of polypyrrole substituted by a reversible electron donor (phenothiazine) in the presence of an irreversible electron acceptor (tropylium cation) in acetonitrile gives weak photocurrents. In contrast, appreciable photocurrents can be obtained using a symmetrical arrangement; viologen as reversible electron acceptor, benzilate anion as irreversible donor. The photoresponses result from the photo-induced charge separation of the charge transfer complexes created in the film. The measured photocurrents are markedly larger (up to five times), with films of polypyrrole substituted by a reversible electron acceptor (viologen) covalently linked with a donor (phenothiazine, triphenylamine or benzidine) than with the unimolecular immobilized system in similar experimental conditions. The greater efficiency of these materials is attributed to the formation of an intramolecular charge transfer complex occurring inside films between the two molecular entities. Markedly weaker photocurrents are obtained with polypyrrole films based on bilayers of the two independent components than those with the unimolecular design, while films based on copolymers arrangements give moderately weaker photoresponses.     

Structural and electrical properties of Li doped ZnO under Ar/H2 atmosphere

Thin films of ZnO were grown by the sol–gel method using spin-coating technique on (0001) sapphire substrates. The effect of doping under Ar/H₂ atmosphere on the structural and electrical properties of ZnO was investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), I–V characterization, Hall effect and micro-photoluminescence. The films that were annealed at 600 °C in Ar/H₂ (95/5) % atmosphere showed (002) a predominant orientation. The crystalline nature of 2 mol.  % of Li doped films were better when compared to 1 mol.  % of Li doped films. The incorporation of Li in ZnO lattice was confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and micro-photoluminescence. Hall effect measurements and I–V characterization of the Li doped ZnO thin films exhibited a better p-type behavior.
