Abstract
X-ray Compton scattering experiments along with parallel first-principles computations were carried out on LiNiO2 to understand the effects of W doping on this cathode material for Li-ion batteries. By employing high-energy x rays exceeding 100 keV, an insight is gained into the fate of the W valence electrons, which are adduced to undergo transfer to empty O 2p energy bands within the active oxide matrix of the cathode. The substitution of W for Ni is shown to increase the electronic conductivity and to enhance the total magnetization per Ni atom. Our study demonstrates that an analysis of line shapes of Compton scattered x rays in combination with theoretical modeling can provide a precise method for an atomic level understanding of the nature of the doping process.
为了了解掺杂 W 对这种锂离子电池阴极材料的影响,我们对 LiNiO2 进行了 X 射线康普顿散射实验和平行第一原理计算。通过使用超过 100 keV 的高能 X 射线,我们深入了解了 W 价电子的去向,这些电子被诱导转移到阴极活性氧化物基质中的空 O 2p 能带。研究表明,用 W 替代 Ni 可以提高电子传导性,并增强每个 Ni 原子的总磁化率。我们的研究表明,康普顿散射 X 射线的线形分析与理论建模相结合,可以为从原子层面了解掺杂过程的性质提供一种精确的方法。
