A 3.0 Ah pouch-type lithium-ion cell with a high energy density (200 Wh kg(-1)) was studied to establish a cycle life model of the battery. The cells consisted of graphite and LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2 electrodes, and they were cycled at 1 C over a 100 % depth of discharge at different temperatures (25, 35, and 45 A degrees C). A semi-empirical cycle life model was developed using experimental data by adopting a simple time power law and Arrhenius kinetics. The cycle life model agreed well with the experimental data but featured a much higher power law factor (1.3) compared to the value of 0.5 associated with the general t (1/2) rule based on the rate of solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) growth. The capacity fading mechanisms that operated within the cells were investigated using electrochemical, physical, and chemical diagnostic methods. These results revealed that the loss of active lithium ions via SEI formation as well as electrode degradation, especially cathode degradation, was responsible for the capacity fading in the cells.

Crystallinity-controlled SiOx anode material prepared through a salt-assisted magnesiothermic reduction for lithium-ion batteries

Asif Raza, So Yeun Kim, Jeong-Hee Choi, Jeom-Soo Kim, Min-Sik Park, Sang-Min Lee

Summary: Silicon suboxides (SiOx) are potential anode materials for high-energy lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their high specific capacity and stable cycling performance. The crystallinity of Si embedded in the SiO2 matrix significantly influences the electrochemical performance of SiOx. The presence of heat absorbents (KCl and NaCl) during the magnesiothermic reduction of SiO affects the crystallinity of SiOx particles and hence the electrochemical behavior of SiOx during cycling, with KCl leading to superior performance compared to NaCl.

Elucidating critical origin for capacity fading in High-voltage coin cell with FSI-based electrolyte

YeoJi Bae, Hae Gon Lee, Yoon Jun Kim, Ga Ram Kim, Janghyuk Moon, You-Jin Lee, Jeong-Hee Choi, Byung Gon Kim

Summary: F-containing functional electrolytes are investigated to improve the performance of Li-metal batteries by generating stable LiF-based solid-electrolyte interphase layers. However, these electrolytes corrode both the Al current collector and the stainless steel (SS) component of the coin cell at high voltages. This study finds that SS corrosion has a greater effect on capacity fading than the Al case, and proposes SS and Al-free pouch-type cells with carbon current collectors and locally high-concentration electrolyte to develop stable cells.

Enhanced performance of lithium-sulfur battery cathode via composition optimization using modified MWCNTs as a conductive material and poly (acrylic acid) as a binder

Gwang-Hun Kim, You-Jin Lee, Jun-Woo Park, Asif Raza, Muhammad Bilal Raza, Doohun Kim, Minjoon Park, Haeyoung Choi

Summary: Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are considered as promising energy storage devices for portable electronics and electric vehicles due to their low-cost, high-energy density, and minimal environmental impact. However, the low sulfur utilization and short lifespan hinder their performance and commercialization. In this study, Li-S battery cathodes were prepared by blending sulfur (S) with modified multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and poly (acrylic acid) (PAA) as a binder to optimize the electrode composition. The cathode prepared with a 5:4:1 wt ratio of S:oxidized MWCNT:PAA showed the highest discharge capacity of approximately 480 mA h g-1. This work demonstrates the feasibility of using redox mediation to enhance electron accessibility with sulfur loaded on MWCNT.

Suriyakumar Dasarathan, Junghwan Sung, Jeong-Won Hong, Yung-Soo Jo, Byung Gon Kim, You-Jin Lee, Hae-Young Choi, Jun-Woo Park, Doohun Kim

Summary: During the growth of anodic TiO2 nanotubes with a high layer thickness, nanograss structures are formed on the outermost surface through engraving of the oxide tubes in an F- ion containing electrolyte. These nanotubular layers have a high aspect ratio with bundles of nanograss structures on the tube top and high surface area with anatase crystallites inside. By combining two-step anodization and a rubber polymer binder, freestanding nanotubular layers with nanograssy surfaces and nano-crystalline particles in the tubes were obtained. This nanotubular hybrid membrane exhibited excellent performance in Li-S batteries, delivering a capacity of 618 mA h g(-1) after 100 cycles at 0.1C, thanks to efficient polysulfide trapping and electrolyte perturbation.
