Demonstrating oxygen loss and associated structural reorganization in the lithium battery cathode Li[Ni0.2Li0.2Mn0.6]O2

The cathode in rechargeable lithium-ion batteries operates by conventional intercalation; Li+ is extracted from LiCoO2 on charging accompanied by oxidation of Co3+ to Co4+; the process is reversed on discharge. In contrast, Li+ may be extracted from Mn4+-based solids, e.g., Li2MnO3, without oxidation of Mn4+. A mechanism involving simultaneous Li and O removal is often proposed. Here, we demonstrate directly, by in situ differential electrochemical mass spectrometry (DEMS), that O2 is evolved from such Mn4+ -containing compounds, Li[Ni(0.2)Li(0.2)Mn(0.6)]O2, on charging and using powder neutron diffraction show that O loss from the surface is accompanied by diffusion of transition metal ions from surface to bulk where they occupy vacancies created by Li removal. The composition of the compound moves toward MO(2). Understanding such unconventional Li extraction is important because Li-Mn-Ni-O compounds, irrespective of whether they contain Co, can, after O loss, store 200 mAhg(-1) of charge compared with 140 mAhg(-1) for LiCoO(2).

采用共沉淀-高温固相烧结法合成了富镍型三元复合正极材料LiNi0.5Co0.2Mn0.3O2.恒流充放电测试表明,材料在3.0～4.4 V下0.2C放电容量达到179.2 mAh.g-1,但在55℃下经历100次充放电循环后发生急剧的容量衰减.电化学交流阻抗谱、X射线光电子能谱和原子发射光谱等实验表明,在高温高电压下,电解液与LiNi0.5Co0.2Mn0.3O2电极材料之间的副反应加剧,导致过渡金属原子溶出,该材料局域结构被破坏.同时,电极材料表面还沉积了高阻抗的LiF/MFx层,使得在电极的充放电过程中电荷转移阻抗和Li+扩散阻抗不断增加,以致电池容量急剧衰减.

The stability of the SEI layer, surface composition and the oxidation state of transition metals at the electrolyte-cathode interface impacted by the electrochemical cycling: X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy investigation

The stability of the valence state of the 3d transition metal ions and the stoichiometry of LiMO(2) (M = Co, Ni, Mn) layered oxides at the surface-electrolyte interface plays a crucial role in energy storage applications. The surface oxidation/reduction of the cations caused by the contact of the solids to air or to the electrolyte results in the blocking of the Li-transport through the interface that leads to the fast batteries deterioration. The influence of the end-of-charge voltage on the chemical composition and the oxidation state of 3d transition metal ions, as well as the stability of the solid-electrolyte interface formed during the electrochemical Li-deintercalation/intercalation of the LiCoO(2) and Li(Ni,Mn,Co)O(2), have been investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. While the chemical composition of the solid-electrolyte interface is similar for both layered oxide surfaces, the electrochemical cycling to some critical voltage values leads to the disappearance of the interface. By the analysis of the shape of the 2p and 3s photoelectron emissions we show that the formation of the solid-electrolyte interface layer correlates with the partial reduction of the trivalent Co ions at the electrolyte-LiCoO(2) interface and the amount of the Co(2+) ions is increased as the solid-electrolyte interface vanishes. In contrast, the Mn(4+), Co(3+) and Ni(2+) ions of the Li(Ni,Mn,Co)O(2) are stable at the interface under the electrochemical cycling to higher end-of-charge voltage. A correlation between deterioration of the LiCoO(2) and Li(Ni,Mn,Co)O(2) batteries and the change of electronic structure at the surface/interface after the electrochemical cycling has been found. The dissolution of the solid-electrolyte interface layer might be the reason for the fast deterioration of the Li-ion batteries.     

Role of local and electronic structural changes with partially anion substitution lithium manganese spinel oxides on their electrochemical properties: X-ray absorption spectroscopy study

The electronic and local structures of partially anion-substituted lithium manganese spinel oxides as positive electrodes for lithium-ion batteries were investigated using X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). LiMn(1.8)Li(0.1)Ni(0.1)O(4-η)F(η) (η = 0, 0.018, 0.036, 0.055, 0.073, 0.110, 0.180) were synthesized by the reaction between LiMn(1.8)Li(0.1)Ni(0.1)O(4) and NH(4)HF(2). The shift of the absorption edge energy in the XANES spectra represented the valence change of Mn ion with the substitution of the low valent cation as Li(+), Ni(2+), or F(-) anion. The local structural change at each compound with the amount of a Jahn-Teller Mn(3+) ion could be observed by EXAFS spectra. The discharge capacity of the tested electrode was in the order of LiMn(2)O(4) > LiMn(1.8)Li(0.1)Ni(0.1)O(4-η)F(η) (η = 0.036) > LiMn(1.8)Li(0.1)Ni(0.1)O(4) while the cycleability was in the order of LiMn(1.8)Li(0.1)Ni(0.1)O(4-η)F(η) (η = 0.036) ≈ LiMn(1.8)Li(0.1)Ni(0.1)O(4) > LiMn(2)O(4). It was clarified that LiMn(1.8)Li(0.1)Ni(0.1)O(4-η)F(η) has a good cycleability because of the anion doping effect and simultaneously shows acceptable rechargeable capacity because of the large amount of the Jahn-Teller Mn(3+) ions in the pristine material.     

Synthesis and characterization of Li[(Ni0.8Co0.1Mn0.1)0.8(Ni0.5Mn0.5)0.2]O2 with the microscale core-shell structure as the positive electrode material for lithium batteries

The high capacity of Ni-rich Li[Ni(1-x)M(x)]O(2) (M = Co, Mn) is very attractive, if the structural instability and thermal properties are improved. Li[Ni(0.5)Mn(0.5)]O(2) has good thermal and structural stabilities, but it has a low capacity and rate capability relative to the Ni-rich Li[Ni(1-x)M(x)]O(2). We synthesized a spherical core-shell structure with a high capacity (from the Li[Ni(0.8)Co(0.1)Mn(0.1)]O(2) core) and a good thermal stability (from the Li[Ni(0.5)Mn(0.5)]O(2) shell). This report is about the microscale spherical core-shell structure, that is, Li[Ni(0.8)Co(0.1)Mn(0.1)]O(2) as the core and a Li[Ni(0.5)Mn(0.5)]O(2) as the shell. A high capacity was delivered from the Li[Ni(0.8)Co(0.1)Mn(0.1)]O(2) core, and a high thermal stability was achieved by the Li[Ni(0.5)Mn(0.5)]O(2) shell. The core-shell structured Li[(Ni(0.8)Co(0.1)Mn(0.1))(0.8)(Ni(0.5)Mn(0.5))(0.2)]O(2)/carbon cell had a superior cyclability and thermal stability relative to the Li[Ni(0.8)Co(0.1)Mn(0.1)]O(2) at the 1 C rate for 500 cycles. The core-shell structured Li[(Ni(0.8)Co(0.1)Mn(0.1))(0.8)(Ni(0.5)Mn(0.5))(0.2)]O(2) as a new positive electrode material is a significant breakthrough in the development of high-capacity lithium batteries.     

The effects of Mo doping on 0.3Li[Li0.33Mn0.67]O2·0.7Li[Ni0.5Co0.2Mn0.3]O2 cathode material

Mo doped Li excess transition metal oxides formulated as 0.3Li[Li(0.33)Mn(0.67)]O(2)·0.7Li[Ni(0.5-x)Co(0.2)Mn(0.3-x)Mo(2x)]O(2) were synthesized using the co-precipitation process. The effects of the substitution of Ni and Mn with Mo were investigated for the density of the states, the structure, cycling stability, rate performance and thermal stability by tools such as first principle calculations, synchrotron X-ray diffraction, field-emission SEM, solid state (7)Li MAS nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), elemental mapping by scanning TEM (STEM), inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) and a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). It was confirmed that high valence Mo(6+) doping of the Li-excess manganese-nickel-cobalt layered oxide in the transition metal enhanced the structural stability and electrochemical performance. This increase was due to strong Mo-O hybridization inducing weak Ni-O hybridization, which may reduce O(2) evolution, and metallic behavior resulting in a diminishing cell resistance.     

Syntheses, structures, and properties of trinuclear complexes [M(bpca)(2)(M'(hfac)(2))(2)], constructed with the complexed bridging ligand [M(bpca)(2)] [M, M' = Ni(II), Mn(II); Cu(II), Mn(II); Fe(II), Mn(II); Ni(II), Fe(II); and Fe(II), Fe(II); Hbpca = Bis(2-pyridylcarbonyl)amine, Hhfac = Hexafluoroacetylacetone

Five trinuclear complexes [M(bpca)(2)(M'(hfac)(2))(2)] (where MM'(2) = NiMn(2), CuMn(2), FeMn(2), NiFe(2), and FeFe(2); Hbpca = bis(2-pyridylcarbonyl)amine; and Hhfac = hexafluoroacetylacetone) were synthesized almost quantitatively by the reaction of [M(bpca)(2)] and [M'(hfac)(2)] in 1:2 molar ratio, and their structures and magnetic properties were investigated. Three complexes, with M' = Mn, crystallize in the same space group, Pna2(1), whereas two complexes, with M' = Fe, crystallize in P4(1), and complexes within each set are isostructural to one another. In all complexes, [M(bpca)(2)] acts as a bis-bidentate bridging ligand to form a linear trinuclear complex in which three metal ions are arranged in the manner M'-M-M'. The central metal ion is in a strong ligand field created by the N(6) donor set, and hence the Fe(II) in the [Fe(bpca)(2)] moiety is in a low-spin state. The terminal metal ions (M') are surrounded by O(6) donor sets with a moderate ligand field, which leads to the high-spin configuration of Fe(II). Three metal ions in all complexes are almost collinear, and metal-metal distances are ca. 5.5 A. The magnetic behavior of NiMn(2) and NiFe(2) shows a weak ferromagnetic interaction between the central Ni(II) ion and the terminal Mn(II) or Fe(II) ions. In these complexes, sigma-spin orbitals of the central Ni(II) ion and those of terminal metal ions have different symmetry about a 2-fold rotation axis through the Ni-N(amide)-M'(terminal) atoms, and this results in orthogonality between the neighboring sigma-spin orbitals and thus ferromagnetic interactions.     

Li2CO3、NiO和电解MnO2合成高容量LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4及其表征

Well-developed crystalline LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ was prepared by solid-state reaction using Li₂CO₃, NiO and electrolytic MnO₂ at high heating and cooling rate. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and scanning electron microscopic (SEM) images showed that LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ synthesized at 900 ℃ and 950 ℃ had cubic spinel structure with clearly defined shape. LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ spinel phase decomposed at 1 000 ℃ accompanying with structural and morphological degradation. TG measurement revealed that the weight loss during heating process could be mostly gained in cooling process, and the upward tendency of weight loss during heating process decreased, while that of irreversible weight loss rapidly increased with the increase of temperature. LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ powders prepared at 900 ℃ for 12 h delivered the maximum discharge capacity of 134 mAh·g^-1 with good cyclic performance at 2/7 C. In addition, by adjusting the calcination time at 900 ℃, the capacity and cycling performance of LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ were further enhanced.

Structural study of the Li(0.5)Na(0.5)MnFe2(PO4)3 and Li(0.75)Na(0.25)MnFe2(PO4)3 alluaudite phases and their electrochemical properties as positive electrodes in lithium batteries

The alluaudite lithiated phases Li(0.5)Na(0.5)MnFe(2)(PO(4))(3) and Li(0.75)Na(0.25)MnFe(2)(PO(4))(3) were prepared via a sol-gel synthesis, leading to powders with spongy characteristics. The Rietveld refinement of the X-ray and neutron diffraction data coupled with ab initio calculations allowed us for the first time to accurately localize the lithium ions in the alluaudite structure. Actually, the lithium ions are localized in the A(1) and A(1)' sites of the tunnel. M?ssbauer measurements showed the presence of some Fe(2+) that decreased with increasing Li content. Neutron diffraction revealed the presence of a partial Mn/Fe exchange between the two transition metal sites that shows clearly that the oxidation state of the element is fixed by the type of occupied site. The electrochemical properties of the two phases were studied as positive electrodes in lithium batteries in the 4.5-1.5 V potential window, but they exhibit smaller electrochemical reversible capacity compared with the non-lithiated NaMnFe(2)(PO(4))(3). The possibility of Na(+)/Li(+) ion deintercalation from (Na,Li)MnFe(2)(PO(4))(3) was also investigated by DFT+U calculations.     

Molecular structure and spectroscopic studies on novel complexes of coumarin-3-carboxylic acid with Ni(II), Co(II), Zn(II) and Mn(II) ions based on density functional theory

Novel Ni(II), Co(II), Zn(II) and Mn(II) complexes of coumarin-3-carboxylic acid (HCCA) were studied at experimental and theoretical levels. The complexes were characterised by elemental analyses, FT-IR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR and UV-Vis spectroscopy and by magnetic susceptibility measurements. The binding modes of the ligand and the spin states of the metal complexes were established by means of molecular modelling of the complexes studied and calculation of their IR, NMR and absorption spectra at DFT(TDDFT)/B3LYP level. The experimental and calculated data verified high spin Ni(II), Co(II) and Mn(II) complexes and a bidentate binding through the carboxylic oxygen atoms (CCA2). The model calculations predicted pseudo octahedral trans-[M(CCA2)(2)(H(2)O)(2)] structures for the Zn(II), Ni(II) and Co(II) complexes and a binuclear [Mn(2)(CCA2)(4)(H(2)O)(2)] structure. Experimental and calculated (1)H, (13)C NMR, IR and UV-Vis data were used to distinguish the two possible bidentate binding modes (CCA1 and CCA2) as well as mononuclear and binuclear structures of the metal complexes.

Infrared spectra of M(OH)(1,2,3) (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) molecules in solid argon and the character of first row transition metal hydroxide bonding

Reactions of laser-ablated Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni atoms with H(2)O(2) and with H(2) + O(2) mixtures in excess argon give new absorptions in the O-H and M-O stretching regions, which are assigned to metal dihydroxide and trihydroxide molecules, M(OH)(2) and M(OH)(3). Isotopic substitutions (D(2)O(2), (18)O(2), (16,18)O(2), D(2)) confirmed the assignments and DFT calculations reproduced the experimental results. The O-H stretching frequencies decreased in the dihydroxides from Sc to Zn. Mulliken and natural charge distributions indicate significant electron transfer from metal d orbitals to OH ligands that decreases from Sc to Zn, suggesting that the early transition metal hydroxides are more ionic and that the later transition metal hydroxides are more covalent.
