The paper focuses on the development of lithium-ion battery cathode based on lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4). Li-ion battery cathodes were manufactured using the new Battery R&D Production Line from ROM-EST Centre, the first and only facility in Romania, capable of fabricating the industry standard 18650 lithium-ion cells, customized pouch cells and CR2032 cells. The cathode configuration contains acetylene black (AB), LiFePO4, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF) as binder and N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) as solvent. X-ray diffraction measurements and SEM-EDS analysis were conducted to obtain structural and morphological information for the as-prepared electrodes.

A Fe-site doped lithium phosphate LiFe0.99La0.01PO4 as cathode material for lithium ion battery was synthesized by solid-state reaction. The crystalline structure, morphology of particles and electrochemical performances of the sample were investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, charge-discharge test and cyclic voltammetry. The results show that the small LiFe0.99La0.01PO4 particles are simple pure olive-type phase structure with uniformly distribution of gain size. The LiFe0.99La0.01PO4 obtained has proper electrochemical capacity, good cycle ability and rate performances. Such an excellent electrochemical characteristic should be partially related to the enhanced electronic conductivities and probably the better mobility of Li ion in the crystal of the doped sample.

Anode Film

A lithium battery was composed of anode, cathode, and separator. The performance of lithium battery was influenced by the thickness of film, the composition of material, and the effect of surfactant and binder. This research investigated the effect of the anode film thickness to the electrochemical performances of lithium battery. Mesocarbon microbeads (MCMB) and lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) were used respectively as anode and cathode. Mesocarbon microbeads, carbon black (conductive agent), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) as a binder and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) as a solvent were mixed well to produce slurry. The slurry were then coated, dried and pressed. The anode had various thickness of 50 μm, 70 μm, 100 μm, and 150 μm. The cathode film was made with certain thickness. The performance of lithium battery was examined by Eight Channel Battery Analyzer, the composition of the anode sample was examined by XRD (X-Ray Diffraction), and the crystal structure of the anode sample was analyzed by SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope). The research showed that the thickness of anode film of 100 μm gave the best performance. The battery performance decreased if the thickness was more than 100 μm. The best performance of battery voltage were between 3649 mV and 3650 mV.

The MoO3/V2O5/C, MoO3/C and V2O5/C are synthesized by electrospinning combined with heat treatment. These samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis (TG) techniques. The results show that sample MoO3/V2O5/C is a composite composed from MoO3, V2O5 and carbon. It takes on morphology of the nanofibers with the diameter of 200~500 nm. The TG analysis result showed that the carbon content in the composite is about 40.63%. Electrochemical properties for these samples are studied. When current density is 0.2 A g−1, the MoO3/V2O5/C could retain the specific capacity of 737.6 mAh g−1 after 200 cycles and its coulomb efficiency is 92.99%, which proves that MoO3/V2O5/C has better electrochemical performance than that of MoO3/C and V2O5/C. The EIS and linear Warburg coefficient analysis results show that the MoO3/V2O5/C has larger Li+ diffusion coefficient and superior conductivity than those of MoO3/C or V2O5/C. So MoO3/V2O5/C is a promising anode material for lithium ion battery application.

The Cost

ABSTRACTAmong different efforts to increase the competitiveness of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in the energy storage marketplace, reducing the cost of production is a major effort by the LIB industry. This work proposes a synthesis method to decrease the production cost for LiFePO4, by synthesizing the material through an open-air environment solid state reaction.The lithium (Li)-ion battery is a member of the family of rechargeable batteries. In our approach, iron phosphate (FePO4) powder is preheated to eliminate moisture. Once dried, the FePO4 is mixed with lithium acetate (CH3COOLi), and the mixture is heated in a tube furnace. The solid-state reaction is conducted in an open-air environment. In order to minimize the oxidation of the formed LiFePO4, a modified tube reaction vessel is utilized during synthesis. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) are used to characterize the crystal structure and chemical composition of the synthesized material. Furthermore, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) characterization shows the grain size of the formed LiFePO4 to be in the range of 200 nm to 600 nm. Cycling testing of fabricated battery cells using the synthesized LiFePO4 is done using an Arbin Tester.

Incremental capacity analysis (ICA) has proven to be an effective tool for determining the state of health (SOH) of Li-ion cells under laboratory conditions. This paper deals with an outstanding challenge of applying ICA in practice: the evaluation of battery series connections. The study uses experimental aging and characterization data of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cells down to 53% SOH. The evaluability of battery series connections using ICA is confirmed by analytical and experimental considerations for cells of the same SOH. For cells of different SOH, a method for identifying non-uniform aging states on the modules’ IC curve is presented. The findings enable the classification of battery modules with series and parallel connections based on partial terminal data.

Mixtures of an ionic liquid (IL) with organic solvents and a lithium salt have been studied in order to develop new electrolytes for lithium-ion cells with enhanced safety profiles. In this work, N-allyl-N-methylpiperidinium bis (trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide (PP1ATFSI) was synthesized and characterized to exhibit high decomposition temperature and wide electrochemical stability window. The evaluation of the coin cell LiFePO4/Li with the mixed electrolyte based on PP1ATFSI with 0.35mol/kg LiTFSI, and 30 wt% VC/DMC (1:1) shows a nice reversibility and cycle performances. All above prove that PP1ATFSI is one of the most promising safety electrolytes of Li-ion battery.

Lithium ion battery is composed of three main parts, i.e. cathode, anode and electrolyte. In this work, we investigated the effect of LiFePO4 cathode composite’s thickness on performances of lithium battery. LiFePO4 cathode was prepared in a slurry that consisted of lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) powder as active material, acetylene black as conductive additive, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) as binder, and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) as solvent. The slurry was then deposited on the aluminum substrate using doctor blade method in different thickness. The cathode layers were deposited with the thickness of 150, 200, 250 & 300 μm. The structure characterization of the material was analyzed by XRD, while the material’s morphology was analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Performances of lithium ion battery with LiFePO4 cathode were evaluated using charge-discharge cycle test. It is found that battery made of cathode layer with 250 μm thickness shows the best performances.

AbstractA number of Sn/C composites were prepared for evaluation as anode materials for Li-ion cells. In one case, samples were prepared by incorporation of Sn species into organic precursors that were then pyrolyzed under an Ar/H2 cover gas to prepare the Sn/C composites. They were also prepared by decoration of various types of carbon with nanoparticles of Sn by electroless deposition using hydrazine. The carbons examined included a disordered carbon prepared in house from poly(methacrylonitrile), a mesocarbon microbead (MCMB) carbon, and a platelet graphite. The Sn/C composites were examined by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and were also analyzed for Sn content. They were then tested as anodes in three-electrode cells against Li metal using 1M LiPF6 in ethylene carbonate (EC)/dimethyl carbonate (DMC) solution. The best overall electrochemical performance was obtained with a Sn/C composite made by electroless deposition of 10% Sn onto platelet graphite.

In order to study the effect of interfacial wettability of separator on electrochemical properties for lithium–ion batteries, two different kinds of polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene (PVDF–HFP) solution are prepared and used to coat onto a polypropylene (PP) microporous membrane. It is found that the cell performance of a coated separator using aqueous slurry (WPS) is better than that of the coated separator using acetone (APS) as the solvent. The separator with flat and pyknotic surface (PP and APS) has a strong polar action with the electrolyte, where the polar part is more than 80%. To the contrary, the WPS has a roughness surface and when the PVDF–HFP particles accumulate loose, it makes the apolar part plays a dominate role in surface free energy; the dispersive energy reaches to 40.17 mJ m−2. The WPS has the lowest immersion free energy, 31.9 mJ m−2 with the electrolyte, and this will accelerate electrolyte infiltration to the separator. The loose particle accumulation also increases the electrolyte weight uptake and interfacial wettability velocity, which plays a crucial role in improving the cell performance such as the ionic conductivity, discharge capacity and the C-rate capability.
