Studies on the effects of coated Li2CO3 on lithium electrode

Although a lithium metal anode has a high energy density compared with a carbon insertion anode, the poor rechargeability prevents the practical use of anode materials. A lithium electrode coated with Li₂CO₃ was prepared as a negative electrode to enhance cycleability through the control of the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) layer formation in Li secondary batteries. The electrochemical characteristics of the SEI layer were examined using chronopotentiometry (CP) and impedance spectroscopy. The Li₂CO₃-SEI layer prevents electrolyte decomposition reaction and has low interface resistance. In addition, the lithium ion diffusion in the SEI layer of the uncoated and the Li₂CO₃-coated electrode was evaluated using chronoamperometry (CA).

In situ analysis of interfacial reactions between negative MCMB,lithium electrodes,and gel polymer electrolyte

The interfacial properties of mesocarbon-microbeads (MCMB) and lithium electrodes during charge process in poly (vinylidenefluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene)-based gel electrolyte were investigated by in situ Raman microscopy, in situ Fourier transform-infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic methods, and charge–discharge, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques. For MCMB electrode, the series phase transitions from initial formation of the dilute stage 1 graphite intercalation compound (GIC) to a stage 4 GIC, then through a stage 3 to stage 2, and finally to stage 1 GIC was proved by in situ Raman spectroscopic measurement. The formation of solid electrolyte interface (SEI) films formed on MCMB and metal lithium electrode was studied by in situ reflectance FTIR spectroscopic method. At MCMB electrode surface, the solvent (mostly ethylene carbonate) decomposed during charging process and ROCO₂Li may be the product. ROCO₂Li, ROLi, and Li₂CO₃ were the main composites of SEI film formed on lithium electrode, not on electrodeposited lithium electrode or lithium foil electrode.     

Effect of 15-crown-5 on the charge transfer resistance at the polymer electrolyte/modified Li-electrode interface

The effect of 15-crown-5, which is applied immediately to pure and modified surface of a lithium electrode, on the charge transfer resistance at the electrode/polymer electrolyte interface is studied. The polymer electrolyte consists of a 1: 1 mixture of oligourethan dimethacrylate and polypropylene glycol monomethacrylate (20 wt %), an initiator (azobisisobutyronitrile) (2 wt %), and a 1 M LiClO₄ solution in gamma-butyrolactone (78 wt %). The conductivity of this gel electrolyte is 3 × 10^?3 S cm^?1. The temperature dependence of the impedance of the Li/gel electrolyte/Li electrochemical cells is measured for electrodes of four types. The activation energies for the charge transfer at the Li/electrolyte interface are calculated. It is found that, after treating the test lithium electrodes with 15-crown-5, the charge transfer resistance decreases, and in the case of the modified lithium surface, the activation energy for the process decreases by 1.8 times.     

The effect of partial charge transfer on the electrochemical turbulent noise

Theoretical analysis of the effect of electrode potential on the spectral density of random alternating current emerged in electrochemical cell under the action of turbulent pulsations of the electrolyte solution velocity is carried out. An impedance model of metal electrode dissolution reaction, including two adsorption stages, is suggested, with allowance for the oxidized ion diffusion in electrolyte solution. It is known that in terms of the Ershler-Randles model, at low frequencies the experimentally measured slope of bilogarithmic frequency dependence of spectral density equals 3, which is characteristic of the diffusion control; at high frequencies the slope equals 4, which is characteristic of the kinetic control. It is shown that for the model of impedance of the two-stage adsorption oxidation process, in the middle segment of the spectrum the local slope must decrease down to 2, provided the first oxidation stage, which proceeds within the inner electrical double layer, is slow; the local slope must increase up to 6 (or 5, for diffusion control), provided the second oxidation stage (the partially oxidized ion desorption to solution) is slow. The “height” and “width” of the slope local changes appeared explicitly depending on the parameters of the partial charge transfer. This makes the turbulent noise method somewhat superior to the impedance method in the studying of the above-specified reaction type.

Solid‐State Electrolyte Anchored with a Carboxylated Azo Compound for All‐Solid‐State Lithium Batteries

Organic electrode materials are promising for green and sustainable lithium‐ion batteries. However, the high solubility of organic materials in the liquid electrolyte results in the shuttle reaction and fast capacity decay. Herein, azo compounds are firstly applied in all‐solid‐state lithium batteries (ASSLB) to suppress the dissolution challenge. Due to the high compatibility of azobenzene (AB) based compounds to Li₃PS₄ (LPS) solid electrolyte, the LPS solid electrolyte is used to prevent the dissolution and shuttle reaction of AB. To maintain the low interface resistance during the large volume change upon cycling, a carboxylate group is added into AB to provide 4‐(phenylazo) benzoic acid lithium salt (PBALS), which could bond with LPS solid electrolyte via the ionic bonding between oxygen in PBALS and lithium ion in LPS. The ionic bonding between the active material and solid electrolyte stabilizes the contact interface and enables the stable cycle life of PBALS in ASSLB.

A comparative study of the anion transfer kinetics across a water/nitrobenzene interface by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and square-wave voltammetry at thin organic film-modified electrodes

The kinetics of the transfer of a series of hydrophilic monovalent anions across the water/nitrobenzene (W/NB) interface has been studied by means of thin organic film-modified electrodes in combination with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and square-wave voltammetry. The studied ions are Cl-, Br-, I-, ClO4-, NO3-, SCN-, and CH3COO-. The electrode assembly comprises a graphite electrode (GE) covered with a thin NB film containing a neutral strongly hydrophobic redox probe (decamethylferrocene or lutetium bis(tetra-tert-butylphthalocyaninato)) and an organic supporting electrolyte. The modified electrode is immersed in an aqueous solution containing a supporting electrolyte and transferring ions, and used in a conventional three-electrode configuration. Upon oxidation of the redox probe, the overall electrochemical process proceeds as an electron-ion charge-transfer reaction coupling the electron transfer at the GE/NB interface and compensates ion transfer across the W/NB interface. The rate of the ion transfer across the W/NB interface is the limiting step in the kinetics of the overall coupled electron-ion transfer reaction. Moreover, the transferring ion that is initially present in the aqueous phase only at a concentration lower than the redox probe, controls the mass transfer regime in the overall reaction. A rate equation describing the kinetics of the ion transfer that is valid for the conditions at thin organic film-modified electrodes is derived. Kinetic data measured with two electrochemical techniques are in very good agreement.

311 - A new model of membrane transport: electrolysis at the interface of two immiscible electrolyte solutions

A simple membrane model is the interface between water and an organic liquid immiscible with water, with a strongly hydrophilic electrolyte dissolved in the aqueous phase and a strongly hydrophobic electrolyte in the organic phase. This interface can be electrochemically polarized in the same way as the interface electrode |electrolyte solution using various modes of voltammetry or the galvanostatic method. A four-electrode potentiostatic system is required for such studies. An electrolyte dropping electrode, analogous to Heyrovsky's DME, was also constructed. The voltammograms fully resemble those obtained with metallic electrodes.The faradaic proceses studied so far are mainly connected with the transfer of hydrophobic ions across the interface. These processes are quite rapid and the half-wave potential of a particular ion is related to its standard Gibbs transfer energy. Observed electron-transfer effects model redox processes at membranes.Macrocyclic ionophores facilitate transfer of alkali metal ions across this interface. Very fast ion transfer as well as complex formation was observed in the systems under investigation so that, generally, the diffusion of the ionophore toward the interface and of the complex into the organic phase is the rate-controlling step, no surface reaction retarding the overall process.Apart from the investigation of membrane processes, this approach can be used for elucidation of processes in ion-selective electrodes and in phase-transfer catalysis.     

An investigation of lithium intercalation into the carbon nanotubes by a.c. impedance

The closed and open carbon nanotube electrodes have been studied as a function of frequency and the open circuit cell potential. A comparison of these spectra reveals different behaviors depending on the form of the carbon nanotubes: for the closed carbon nanotubes the impedance spectra consists of only one arc in the high frequency, for the open carbon nanotubes the impedance spectra consists of two separated semicircles in the high frequency. Analysis based on plausible equivalent circuit models for the carbon nanotubes lead to evaluation the kinetic parameters for the various physicochemical processes occurring at the electrode/electrolyte interface.

Initial solid electrolyte interphase formation process of graphite anode in LiPF6 electrolyte: an in situ ECSTM investigation

Understanding the structure and formation dynamics of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) on the electrode/electrolyte interface is of great importance for lithium ion batteries, as the properties of the SEI remarkably affect the performances of lithium ion batteries such as power capabilities, cycling life, and safety issues. Herein, we report an in situ electrochemical scanning tunnelling microscopy (ECSTM) study of the surface morphology changes of a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) anode during initial lithium uptake in 1 M LiPF(6) dissolved in the solvents of ethylene carbonate plus dimethyl carbonate. The exfoliation of the graphite originating from the step edge occurs when the potential is more negative than 1.5 V vs. Li(+)/Li. Within the range from 0.8 to 0.7 V vs. Li(+)/Li, the growth of clusters on the step edge, the decoration of the terrace with small island-like clusters, and the exfoliation of graphite layers take place on the surface simultaneously. The surface morphology change in the initial lithium uptake process can be recovered when the potential is switched back to 2.0 V. Control experiments indicate that the surface morphology change can be attributed to the electrochemical reduction of solvent molecules. The findings may lead to a better understanding of SEI formation on graphite anodes, optimized electrolyte systems for it, as well as the use of in situ ECSTM for interface studies in lithium ion batteries.     

高电压镍锰酸锂正极/电解液界面本征性质的研究

高电压正极材料的应用是提高锂离子电池能量密度的有效手段,然而高电压下正极/电解液界面稳定性成为决定锂离子电池在高电压工作条件下循环性能和安全性能的关键因素,因此高电压下正极/电解液界面具有重要的研究价值. 但是,目前报道的正极/电解液界面的研究中通常使用传统的极片制备方法,这需要引入导电剂和粘结剂,会对后期正极活性物质表面钝化膜的形貌和组分表征带来干扰,甚至造成固体电解质界面(SEI)膜存在的假象,难以获得正极材料与电解液之间界面的本征信息. 这里,我们采用溶胶凝胶旋涂法制备了不含导电剂和粘结剂的镍锰酸锂(LNMO)正极,以其为研究对象,通过扫描电镜(SEM)、原子力显微镜(AFM)和X射线光电子能谱(XPS)技术,结合电化学阻抗谱(EIS)研究了LNMO正极/电解液界面在充放电过程中的结构演变过程以及本征性质. 研究结果显示在充放电过程中,电解液中溶剂和电解质都会参与反应,其中LiPF₆的降解主要发生在高电压下,其降解产物在放电过程中又会被反应消耗掉. 它们的降解产物沉积到LNMO正极形成表面膜,该表面膜的主要成分随着电压的不同组分有所不同.     

Characterization of Electrode/Electrolyte Interface of ECIS Devices

Electric cell‐substrate impedance sensing requires low electrode/electrolyte interface impedance for effective biomedical and biophysical applications. Thus a complete understanding of physical processes involved in the formation of an electric double layer is required to design a low interface impedance device. This paper presents the numerical simulation of the impedance for the electrode/electrolyte interface of three‐electrode devices along with the practical realization for the effective workout of impedance sensing devices. The three‐electrode based impedance sensing devices along with phosphate buffered saline as electrolyte is simulated using COMSOL Multiphysics to evaluate the impedance of the electrode/electrolyte interface. Microfabrication technology is used to realize three‐electrode impedance sensing devices with diverse configuration which are used to measure the electrode/electrolyte interface impedance. The measured impedance data were then compared with the COMSOL simulated results and it is found that both the data sets fitted well with less than 5 % RSE. The results obtained from simulation and experiments indicate that the impedance due to double layer diffusion dominates in the low frequency region up to few kHz whereas electrolytic bulk resistance plays a major role in the higher frequency range. The experimental impedance data were further interpreted by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis software to model the equivalent circuit of the electrochemical system.
