Starting from the bloedite mineral, we prepared two new electrode materials, Na2Fe(SO4)2·4H2O and Na2Fe(SO4)2, which present high redox potentials of 3.6 V vs. lithium and 3.3–3.4 V vs. sodium.

Herein, we tune the redox potential of 3,6-diphenyl-1,2,4,5-tetrazine (DPT) by introducing various electron-donating/withdrawing groups (methoxy, t-butyl, H, F, and trifluoromethyl) into its two peripheral benzene rings for use as electrode material in a Li-ion cell. By both the theoretical DFT calculations and the practical cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements, it is shown that the redox potentials (E1/2) of the 1,2,4,5-tetrazines (s-tetrazines) have a strong correlation with the Hammett constant of the substituents. In Li-ion coin cells, the discharge voltages of the s-tetrazine electrodes are successfully tuned depending on the electron-donating/withdrawing capabilities of the substituents. Furthermore, it is found that the heterogeneous electron transfer rate (k0) of the s-tetrazine molecules and Li-ion diffusivity (DLi) in the s-tetrazine electrodes are much faster than conventional electrode active materials.

AbstractBattery performance is strongly correlated with electrode microstructure. Electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries have complex microstructure geometries that require millions of degrees of freedom to solve the electrochemical system at the microstructure scale. A fast-iterative solver with an appropriate preconditioner is then required to simulate large representative volume in a reasonable time. In this work, a finite element electrochemical model is developed to resolve the concentration and potential within the electrode active materials and the electrolyte domains at the microstructure scale, with an emphasis on numerical stability and scaling performances. The block Gauss-Seidel (BGS) numerical method is implemented because the system of equations within the electrodes is coupled only through the nonlinear Butler–Volmer equation, which governs the electrochemical reaction at the interface between the domains. The best solution strategy found in this work consists of splitting the system into two blocks—one for the concentration and one for the potential field—and then performing block generalized minimal residual preconditioned with algebraic multigrid, using the FEniCS and the Portable, Extensible Toolkit for Scientific Computation libraries. Significant improvements in terms of time to solution (six times faster) and memory usage (halving) are achieved compared with the MUltifrontal Massively Parallel sparse direct Solver. Additionally, BGS experiences decent strong parallel scaling within the electrode domains. Last, the system of equations is modified to specifically address numerical instability induced by electrolyte depletion, which is particularly valuable for simulating fast-charge scenarios relevant for automotive application.

An electrochemical cell has been constructed forin situneutron diffraction studies of lithium-insertion/extraction processes in electrode materials for Li-ion batteries. Its key components are a Pyrex tube, gold plated on its inside, which functions as a current collector, and a central lithium rod, which serves as the negative electrode. The device is demonstrated here for a neutron diffraction study of lithium extraction from LiMn2O4: a mechanical Celgard©separator soaked in the electrolyte surrounds the lithium electrode. The LiMn2O4powder, mixed with electrolyte, occupies the space between separator and current collector.
