锂盐及制备工艺对固态电解质Li7La3Zr2O12成相的影响研究

石榴石型Li₇La₃Zr₂O₁₂(LLZO)离子导电性高,在全固态锂离子电池中具有潜在的应用价值。但目前报道的LLZO制备工艺烧结温度范围宽,稳定性差,不利于宏量制备。本文以烧结产物物相结构和结晶度为考察指标,系统研究了锂源及用量、烧结温度、烧结时间等因素对LLZO成相的影响。结果表明,当以分解温度较低的锂盐(LiNO₃)为原料时,在800℃下得到四方相LLZO,900℃时呈立方相LLZO;当以分解温度较高的锂盐(Li₂CO₃)为原料时,900℃才能形成四方相LLZO。烧结时间的延长和温度升高均会导致锂的挥发损失,影响LLZO物相的形成。通过增加锂盐用量、改变烧结前驱体聚集特性与烧结时间可抑制锂的挥发。当以过量10%的Li₂CO₃为原料时,900℃烧结6h可稳定的得到立方相LLZO。该研究较为系统地分析了制备工艺对LLZO成相的影响,可为LLZO宏量稳定制备提供借鉴。     

Li+ ionic conductivities and diffusion mechanisms in Li-based imides and lithium amide

In this study, both experimental ionic conductivity measurements and the first-principles simulations are employed to investigate the Li(+) ionic diffusion properties in lithium-based imides (Li(2)NH, Li(2)Mg(NH)(2) and Li(2)Ca(NH)(2)) and lithium amide (LiNH(2)). The experimental results show that Li(+) ions present superionic conductivity in Li(2)NH (2.54 × 10(-4) S cm(-1)) and moderate ionic conductivity in Li(2)Ca(NH)(2) (6.40 × 10(-6) S cm(-1)) at room temperature; while conduction of Li(+) ions is hardly detectable in Li(2)Mg(NH)(2) and LiNH(2) at room temperature. The simulation results indicate that Li(+) ion diffusion in Li(2)NH may be mediated by Frenkel pair defects or charged vacancies, and the diffusion pathway is more likely via a series of intermediate jumps between octahedral and tetrahedral sites along the [001] direction. The calculated activation energy and pre-exponential factor for Li(+) ion conduction in Li(2)NH are well comparable with the experimentally determined values, showing the consistency of experimental and theoretical investigations. The calculation of the defect formation energy in LiNH(2) reveals that Li defects are difficult to create to mediate the Li(+) ion diffusion, resulting in the poor Li(+) ion conduction in LiNH(2) at room temperature.     

Garnet-type Solid-state Electrolyte Li7La3Zr2O12: Crystal Structure,Element Doping and Interface Strategies for Solid-state Lithium Batteries

The continuous development of solid-state electrolytes(SSEs) has stimulated immense progress in the development of all-solid-state batteries(ASSBs). Particularly, garnet-typed SSEs in formula of Li₇La₃Zr₂O₁₂(LLZO) are under intensive investigation to exploit their advantage in high lithium ions conductivity(>1 mS/cm), wide electrochemical window(>5 V), and good chemical electrochemical stability for lithium, which are critical factors to ensure a stable, and high performance ASSBs. This review will focus on the challenges related to LLZOs-based electrolyte, and update the recent developments in structural design of LLZOs, which are discussed in three major sections:(i) crystal structure and the lithium-ion transport mechanism of LLZO; (ii) single-site and multi-site doping of Li sites, La sites and Zr sites to enhance Li ions conductivity(LIC) and stability of LLZO; (iii) interface strategies between electrodes and LLZO to decrease interface area-specific resistance(ASR).     

Lithium Ion Pathway within Li7La3Zr2O12‐Polyethylene Oxide Composite Electrolytes

Polymer–ceramic composite electrolytes are emerging as a promising solution to deliver high ionic conductivity, optimal mechanical properties, and good safety for developing high‐performance all‐solid‐state rechargeable batteries. Composite electrolytes have been prepared with cubic‐phase Li₇La₃Zr₂O₁₂ (LLZO) garnet and polyethylene oxide (PEO) and employed in symmetric lithium battery cells. By combining selective isotope labeling and high‐resolution solid‐state Li NMR, we are able to track Li ion pathways within LLZO‐PEO composite electrolytes by monitoring the replacement of ⁷Li in the composite electrolyte by ⁶Li from the ⁶Li metal electrodes during battery cycling. We have provided the first experimental evidence to show that Li ions favor the pathway through the LLZO ceramic phase instead of the PEO‐LLZO interface or PEO. This approach can be widely applied to study ion pathways in ionic conductors and to provide useful insights for developing composite materials for energy storage and harvesting.     

Crystal chemistry and stability of "Li7La3Zr2O12" garnet: a fast lithium-ion conductor

Recent research has shown that certain Li-oxide garnets with high mechanical, thermal, chemical, and electrochemical stability are excellent fast Li-ion conductors. However, the detailed crystal chemistry of Li-oxide garnets is not well understood, nor is the relationship between crystal chemistry and conduction behavior. An investigation was undertaken to understand the crystal chemical and structural properties, as well as the stability relations, of Li(7)La(3)Zr(2)O(12) garnet, which is the best conducting Li-oxide garnet discovered to date. Two different sintering methods produced Li-oxide garnet but with slightly different compositions and different grain sizes. The first sintering method, involving ceramic crucibles in initial synthesis steps and later sealed Pt capsules, produced single crystals up to roughly 100 μm in size. Electron microprobe and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) measurements show small amounts of Al in the garnet, probably originating from the crucibles. The crystal structure of this phase was determined using X-ray single-crystal diffraction every 100 K from 100 K up to 500 K. The crystals are cubic with space group Ia3?d at all temperatures. The atomic displacement parameters and Li-site occupancies were measured. Li atoms could be located on at least two structural sites that are partially occupied, while other Li atoms in the structure appear to be delocalized. (27)Al NMR spectra show two main resonances that are interpreted as indicating that minor Al occurs on the two different Li sites. Li NMR spectra show a single narrow resonance at 1.2-1.3 ppm indicating fast Li-ion diffusion at room temperature. The chemical shift value indicates that the Li atoms spend most of their time at the tetrahedrally coordinated C (24d) site. The second synthesis method, using solely Pt crucibles during sintering, produced fine-grained Li(7)La(3)Zr(2)O(12) crystals. This material was studied by X-ray powder diffraction at different temperatures between 25 and 200 °C. This phase is tetragonal at room temperature and undergoes a phase transition to a cubic phase between 100 and 150 °C. Cubic "Li(7)La(3)Zr(2)O(12)" may be stabilized at ambient conditions relative to its slightly less conducting tetragonal modification via small amounts of Al(3+). Several crystal chemical properties appear to promote the high Li-ion conductivity in cubic Al-containing Li(7)La(3)Zr(2)O(12). They are (i) isotropic three-dimensional Li-diffusion pathways, (ii) closely spaced Li sites and Li delocalization that allow for easy and fast Li diffusion, and (iii) low occupancies at the Li sites, which may also be enhanced by the heterovalent substitution Al(3+) ? 3Li.     

Assessing the Importance of Cation Size in the Tetragonal-Cubic Phase Transition in Lithium-Garnet Electrolytes**

Lithium garnets are promising solid-state electrolytes for next-generation lithium-ion batteries. These materials have high ionic conductivity, a wide electrochemical window and stability with Li metal. However, lithium garnets have a maximum limit of seven lithium atoms per formula unit (e.g., La₃Zr₂Li₇O₁₂), before the system transitions from a cubic to a tetragonal phase with poor ionic mobility. This arises from full occupation of the Li sites. Hence, the most conductive lithium garnets have Li between 6–6.55 Li per formula unit, which maintains the cubic symmetry and the disordered Li sub-lattice. The tetragonal phase, however, forms the highly conducting cubic phase at higher temperatures, thought to arise from increased cell volume and entropic stabilisation permitting Li disorder. However, little work has been undertaken in understanding the controlling factors of this phase transition, which could enable enhanced dopant strategies to maintain room temperature cubic garnet at higher Li contents. Here, a series of nine tetragonal garnets were synthesised and analysed by variable temperature XRD to understand the dependence of site substitution on the phase transition temperature. Interestingly the octahedral site cation radius was identified as the key parameter for the transition temperature with larger or smaller dopants altering the transition temperature noticeably. A site substitution was, however, found to make little difference irrespective of significant changes to cell volume.

Synthesis of silicon doped SrMO3 (M = Mn, Co): stabilization of the cubic perovskite and enhancement in conductivity

In this paper we report the successful incorporation of silicon into SrMO(3) (M = Co, Mn) leading to a structural change from a hexagonal to a cubic perovskite. For M = Co, the cubic phase was observed for low doping levels (3%), and these doped phases showed very high conductivities (up to ≈350 Scm(-1) at room temperature). However, annealing studies at intermediate temperatures (700-800 °C), indicated that the cubic phase was metastable with a gradual transformation to a hexagonal cell on annealing. Further work showed that co-doping with Fe resulted in improved stability of the cubic phase; a composition SrCo(0.85)Fe(0.1)Si(0.05)O(3-y) displayed good stability at intermediate temperatures and a high conductivity (≈150 Scm(-1) at room temperature). For M = Mn, the work showed that higher substitution levels were required to form the cubic perovskite (≈15% Si doping), although in these cases the phases were shown to be stable to annealing at intermediate temperatures. Conductivity measurements again showed an enhancement in the conductivity on Si doping, although the conductivities were lower (≈0.3-14 Scm(-1) in the range 20-800 °C) than the cobalt containing systems. The conductivities of both systems suggest potential for use as cathode materials in solid oxide fuel cells.     

Structure,magnetic, and electrical properties of bismuth niobates doped with d-elements: VIII. Phase transitions and electrophysical properties of bismuth niobate

Reversible phase transitions of bismuth niobate Bi₃NbO₇ have been observed: from the lowtemperature cubic modification to the tetragonal one at 860°C and from the tetragonal modification to the hightemperature cubic one at 950–980°C. With increasing temperature of the cubic modification preparation, the unit cell parameter has been decreasing. Electrophysical properties of the cubic phases have matched at the frequencies below 1 kHz (up to 650 K). The specific conductivity of the tetragonal phase exceeds that of the cubic phase by no more than an order of magnitude (below 1000 K).     

On the influence of the vacancy distribution on the structure and ionic conductivity of A-site-deficient Li(x)Sr(x)La(2/3-x)TiO3 perovskites

The crystal structure and dielectric properties of slowly cooled A-site-deficient perovskites Li(x)Sr(x)La(2/3-x)□(1/3-x)TiO(3) (0.04 ≤ x ≤ 0.33) have been investigated by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), impedance spectroscopy, and (7)Li NMR techniques. In this series, nominal vacancies decrease with Li content, but the total amount of A-site vacancies, n(t) = Li + □, participating in conduction processes remains basically constant. Rietveld analysis of the XRD patterns showed a change of symmetry from orthorhombic to tetragonal when the lithium and strontium contents increased above x = 0.08 and from tetragonal to cubic above x = 0.16. Structural modifications are mainly due to the cation vacancy ordering along the c axis, which disappear gradually when the lithium content increases. In agreement with the structural information, two lithium signals with different quadrupole constants are detected in (7)Li NMR spectra of orthorhombic/tetragonal phases, which have been associated with lithium in two crystallographic z/c = 0 and 1/2 planes of perovskites. In cubic samples, only a single narrow component, indicative of mobile species, was detected. Lithium motion was thermally activated, with activation energies going from 0.35 to 0.38 eV. Evolution of the bulk dc-conductivity preexponential factors along the series showed a maximum that has been first related to the dependence of lithium hopping on the lithium and vacancy concentrations. Finally, changes in the vacancy ordering, produced along the series, affect the dimensionality of the conductivity, indicating that not only the amount of vacancies but also its distribution are relevant.

Structure and electrochemical performance of spinel LiMn1.95Ni0.05O3.98F0.02 coated with Li-La-Zr-O solid electrolyte

LiMn_1.95Ni_0.05O_3.98F_0.02 octahedral particles with lithium-ion solid electrolyte Li₇La₃Zr₂O₁₂ (LLZO) coating are prepared by a Pechini method. The relationship between the structure and electrochemical performance of the modified samples is investigated. As revealed by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope, LLZO coating does not change the cubic spinel crystal structure of the pristine matrix (space group $ Fd\overline{3}m $ ). Moreover, the LLZO coating materials exist as nanosheets or nanoparticles. The morphology of the coating varies as the weight percentage increases from 1.0 to 3.0. LiMn_1.95Ni_0.05O_3.98F_0.02 coated with 2.0 wt% LLZO exhibits better cycle performance and rate capability at elevated temperature (i.e., 55 °C), while the coating exists as distinct reticulation covering the surface.     

Fluorine‐Doped Antiperovskite Electrolyte for All‐Solid‐State Lithium‐Ion Batteries

A fluorine‐doped antiperovskite Li‐ion conductor Li₂(OH)X (X=Cl, Br) is shown to be a promising candidate for a solid electrolyte in an all‐solid‐state Li‐ion rechargeable battery. Substitution of F^? for OH^? transforms orthorhombic Li₂OHCl to a room‐temperature cubic phase, which shows electrochemical stability to 9 V versus Li⁺/Li and two orders of magnitude higher Li‐ion conductivity than that of orthorhombic Li₂OHCl. An all‐solid‐state Li/LiFePO₄ with F‐doped Li₂OHCl as the solid electrolyte showed good cyclability and a high coulombic efficiency over 40 charge/discharge cycles.

A copolymer of poly(acrylonitrile-co-styrene) (SAN) was synthesized via an emulsion polymerization method. Novel polymer electrolyte membranes cast from the blends of poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP), SAN and fumed silica (SiO2) are microporous and can be used in polymer lithium-ion batteries. The membrane shows excellent characteristics such as high ionic conductivity and good mechanical strength when the mass ratio between SAN and PVDF-HFP and SiO2 is 3.5/31.5/5. The ionic conductivity of the membrane soaked in a liquid electrolyte of 1 mol/L LiPF6/EC/DMC/DEC is 4.9×10-3 S cm-1 at 25℃. The membrane is electrochemical stable up to 5.5 V versus Li /Li in the liquid electrolyte. The influences of SiO2 content on the porosity and mechanical strength of the membranes were studied. Polymer lithium-ion batteries based on the membranes were assembled and their performances were also studied.
