ABSTRACTIn order to better understand the cycling mechanism of metal alloy anodes, and to mitigate the capacity fade observed in lithium battery use a study of simple systems was initiated. Tin foil and tin-bismuth mixtures were chosen because there is no need for conductive diluents or binders so that the intrinsic behavior could be observed. A pure tin foil was found to react rapidly with lithium, ≥ 3 mA/cm2, and with no capacity fade for over 10 cycles. This is better than tin powder or electrodeposited tin. After the first cycle, the foil reacts with Li following a stepwise formation of different alloys as dictated by the thermodynamics. Incorporation of bismuth into the foil increased the capacity fade after the first few cycles, with the eutectic composition Sn0.57Bi0.43 having better capacity retention than the Sn0.5Bi0.5 composition. XRD and SEM-EDS shows that bismuth is rejected from the tin rich phase during lithium insertion and is not reincorporated on lithium removal, just as expected from the phase diagram.

ABSTRACTElectrolytic V2O5 materials were prepared by electrochemical oxidation of vanadyl ions in aqueous solution. The electrodeposition reaction includes two steps: an oxidation into soluble species followed by a precipitation. With the use of various electrodeposition conditions and subsequent heat treatment it is possible to obtain e-V2O5 compounds with different VIV and water contents.e-V2O5 compounds are mixed valence, hydrated vanadic acids and their formula can be written as H0.4V2O5.2−δ.nH2 with 0.04<8<0.22 and 0<n<1.8. These poorly crystallized layered compounds undergo a phase transformation into α-V2O5 starting at 240°C.The electrochemical intercalation of lithium into these compounds shows two main single phase phenomena at ≈3.2V/Li and ≈2.6V/Li. Their capacity retention is better than that of other V2O5 reference compounds, but the reversible capacity down to 2V is only ≈100Ah/kg at a rate faster than C/5, due to kinetic limitations.

Layered LiNi1-xCoxO2 is one of the promising cathode materials for Li-ion battery application. However, the Ni rich cathode materials exhibit low capacity and bad capacity retention. This is due to factors such as disorder and structural instability when Li is removed during charge-discharge. Overlithiation of cathode materials is expected to improve the cation ordering and structural stability. Good cation ordering will increase the battery capacity. During charge-discharge, the irreversible Li+ loss can be replaced to a certain extent by the interstitial Li+ ions in the lattice of the LixNi0.8Co0.2O2 material. This helps reduce capacity fading of the cathode materials. In this work the overlithiation of LiNi0.8Co0.2O2 is done by interstitially doping Li+ in the LiNi0.8Co0.2O2 materials producing Li1.05Ni0.8Co0.2O2 and Li1.1Ni0.8Co0.2O2. Results showthat the performance of the overlithiated LiNi0.8Co0.2O2 materials is better than pure LiNi0.8Co0.2O2.

An all-solid-state Lithium button cell with Ga-doped Li7La3Zr2O12 (Ga-LLZO) as solid electrolyte, LiFePO4-based as cathode, and Li metal as anode has been successfully fabricated and characterized. The solid electrolyte was first optimized to obtain a high total conductivity. Different compositions of Li7-3xGaxLa3Zr2O12, where x =0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3. Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) were synthesized using solid-state reaction and were characterized for its structural, morphological, electrical conductivity properties. XRD patterns of all sintered samples showed that all of the major peaks can be indexed to a cubic-phased garnet LLZO. SEM images revealed a densified sintered samples with relative densities of about 90% for all samples. Among the different studied compositions, the Ga-doped LLZO with x = 0.1 achieved the highest total conductivity of about 2.03 x 10-4 Scm-1 at 25oC, with an activation energy of 0.31 eV. From this solid electrolyte, an all-solid-state Lithium battery, 2032 button cell, was fabricated using LiFePO4-based cathode and Lithium metal as the anode. Charging and discharging characteristics were performed at 1C, 0.5C, and 0.2C rates. The results showed a good retention of coloumbic efficiency even after 50 cycles of charge and discharge. The capacity retention is about 15-20% after 50 cycles. The best performance of the coin cell battery revealed an initial specific discharging capacity of about 140 mAh/g using C/5 rate.
