However, these materials face challenges such as poor rate capability and limited cycling stability. The addition of excess lithium can mitigate these issues to some extent. This study examines the impact of incorporating small amounts of cobalt (5% or 10%) into these materials through an “all-dry” synthesis approach in stoichiometric and excess lithium-containing compositions. Results indicate that adding even these small amounts of cobalt decreases the cation mixing, improves crystallinity, reduces electronic resistance, and influences the morphology depending on whether nickel or manganese is replaced. The materials can accommodate up to 15% excess lithium without significant surface impurities. The addition of cobalt further enhances the rate capability of the material in excess lithium materials, but increasing cobalt content tends to compromise cycling stability when the materials are cycled up to 4.4 V. Materials in which 5% cobalt replaces nickel still exhibit superior rate capability and cycling performance compared to materials without cobalt. Therefore, incorporating small amounts of cobalt can positively impact the performance of Li1+x(Ni0.6Mn0.4)1-xO2 materials, offering a balance between improved rate capability and cycling stability.","PeriodicalId":17364,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Electrochemical Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141928690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A high-precision coulometry analysis was conducted to investigate the coulombic efficiency (CE), differential voltage analysis (DVA), and end-point slippage. The results show that the Na-Ion cells present a similar self-discharge behavior to the NMC811 Li-Ion cells. In addition, via CE and end-point slippage analysis, strong reversible reactions were observed for the Na-Ion cells. Despite the poor CE values, the cells presented a low capacity loss. Post-mortem analysis showed sodium plating on the edges of all the SOCs investigated. The LFP results presented mainly calendar losses from lithium inventory loss with almost no cathode-related degradation. At high SOCs, both transition metal cathodes, NMC811 Li-Ion and NFM Na-Ion, exhibited more cathode-related processes dominating the self-discharge current and presumably improving the capacity retention due to electrolyte oxidation.

While multiple exothermic reactions that cause TR and modeled using Arrhenius equations lead to good predictions in controlled oven tests, their use in practical applications is questionable as these do not consider internal electrochemical processes that cause temperature rise and trigger exothermic reactions. Further, limited literature focuses on coupling electrochemical thermal models with exothermic reactions. This study demonstrates a method to couple the electrochemical and thermal runaway models for a commercial cylindrical Lithium-ion cell. The proposed model averages pseudo-2D electrochemical heat and couples it to a two-dimensional, axisymmetric heat transfer model of 18650-type Lithium-ion cell. The jellyroll structure is approximated as a homogeneous and anisotropic domain for electrochemical and exothermic heating. Simulations are performed through several, uninterrupted charge-discharge cycles at different ambient temperatures and C-rates. We show that while cycling rate is critical in instigating and accelerating TR, parameters like ambient temperature, particle radii and initial electrolyte concentration also play a role in determining the core temperature and its rate of growth in the cell.","PeriodicalId":17364,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Electrochemical Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141928121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cycling LFP cells across a lower average SOC results in less capacity fade than cycling across a higher average SOC, regardless of depth of discharge. The primary capacity fade mechanism is lithium inventory loss due to: lithiated graphite reactivity with electrolyte, which increases incrementally with SOC, and lithium alkoxide species causing iron dissolution and deposition on the negative electrode at high SOC which further accelerates lithium inventory loss. Our results show that even low voltage LFP systems (3.65 V) have a tradeoff between average SOC and lifetime.

The resulting oxides were evaluated as cathode materials for Li-ion batteries. Fe-substitution for Co resulted in increased intersite mixing, resulting in increased polarization and capacity fade. Ti-substitution for Mn also resulted in increased intersite mixing, but the mixing was due to Ti3+ in the Li-layer. As a result, Ti-substituted NMCs had improved capacity retention and reduced polarization. These effects were independent of each other, so that Ti could partially offset the negative aspects of Fe-substitution. Additionally, layered Mn-free Li(Ni0.6Ti0.2Co0.2)O2 (NTC622) was produced as an endmember of this series for the first time with low intersite mixing and superior electrochemical performance in comparison to previous reports.

Further, metals originally in the positive active material (such as Co, Ni, and Mn) are often found in cells whose temperatures became very high. It has been postulated that the formation of metals can be attributed to reduction of rock salt species (MO, where M is the metal), or the reaction of lithiated active material (LiMO2) with CO2. We propose an alternate process for formation of metals that also results in very high cell temperatures, namely thermite reactions between the Al positive electrode current collector and the positive active material. These reactions are highly exothermic, in contrast with the reactions of MO and LiMO2 mentioned. In this paper the thermodynamics of thermite reactions are presented.

We present a novel algorithm for estimating the absolute values of capacity and internal resistance from voltage and current data. The algorithm is based on voltage-controlled models. Experimentally-measured voltage is used as an input variable to an equivalent circuit model. The simulation gives current as output, which is compared to the experimentally-measured current. We show that capacity loss and resistance increase lead to characteristic fingerprints in the current output of the simulation. In order to exploit these fingerprints, a theory is developed for calculating capacity and resistance from the difference between simulated and measured current. The findings are cast into an algorithm for operando diagnosis of batteries operated with arbitrary load profiles. The algorithm is demonstrated using cycling data from lithium-ion pouch cells operated on full cycles, shallow cycles, and dynamic cycles typical for electric vehicles.
