Abstract
The structure and nature of the interface between the electrode and the discharge product have an important impact on the performance of Lithium‑sulfur (LiS) batteries. We investigated the effects of transition metals Ti and V doped into FeS2 on the high-rate performance of the interface formed with Li2S(110). Using the first-principles calculations, we have investigated the interface between FeS2(001) with doping transition metal Ti and V, and Li2S(110). The investigation covered aspects such as lattice structure, electrochemical properties, diffusion of Li+ at the interface, distribution of charge, and work function. The results indicate that doping with transition metals Ti and V reduces the Li+ diffusion barrier. The interfacial density of states introduces metallic properties. Additionally, analysis of work function revealed that Ti doping promotes the establishment of an internal electric field in the interfacial structure which accelerates cycling and migration of Li+. This study enhances our understanding of interfacial structure and electrochemical properties between cathode host material and Li2S.
期刊介绍:
This interdisciplinary journal is devoted to the physics, chemistry and materials science of diffusion, mass transport, and reactivity of solids. The major part of each issue is devoted to articles on:
(i) physics and chemistry of defects in solids;
(ii) reactions in and on solids, e.g. intercalation, corrosion, oxidation, sintering;
(iii) ion transport measurements, mechanisms and theory;
(iv) solid state electrochemistry;
(v) ionically-electronically mixed conducting solids.
Related technological applications are also included, provided their characteristics are interpreted in terms of the basic solid state properties.
Review papers and relevant symposium proceedings are welcome.
