Solution-combustion synthesized nickel-substituted spinel cathode materials (LiNixMn2-xO4; 0≤x≤0.2) for lithium ion battery: enhancing energy storage, capacity retention, and lithium ion transport

The car occupies the daily universe of our society; however, noise pollution, global warming gas emissions, and increased fuel consumption are constantly increasing. The electric vehicle is one of the recommended solutions by the raison of its zero emission. Heating and air-conditioning (HVAC) system is a part of the power system of the vehicle when the purpose is to provide complete thermal comfort for its occupants, however it requires far more energy than any other car accessory. Electric vehicles have a low-energy storage capacity, and HVAC may consume a substantial amount of the total energy stored, considerably reducing the vehicle range, which is one of the most important parameters for EV acceptability. The basic goal of this paper is to simulate the air-conditioning system impact on the power energy source of an electric vehicle powered by a lithium-ion battery.

ABSTRACTThe need for the development and deployment of reliable and efficient energy storage devices, such as lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, is becoming increasingly important due to the scarcity of petroleum. In this work, we provide an overview of commercially available cathode materials for Li-ion rechargeable batteries and focus on characteristics that give rise to optimal energy storage systems for future transportation modes. The study shows that the development of lithium-iron-phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries promises an alternative to conventional lithiumion batteries, with their potential for high energy capacity and power density, improved safety, and reduced cost. This work contributes to the fundamental knowledge of lithium-ion battery cathode materials and helps with the design of better rechargeable batteries, and thus leads to economic and environmental benefits.

Electrochemical Cycling

Nickel-rich LiNiCoMnO (LNCM811) is a promising lithium-ion battery cathode material, whereas the surface-sensitive issues (i.e., side reaction and oxygen loss) occurring on LNCM811 particles significantly degrade their electrochemical capacity retentions. A uniform LiZrO coating layer can effectively mitigate the problem by preventing these issues. Instead of the normally used weak hydrogen-bonding interaction, we present a covalent interfacial engineering for the uniform LiZrO coating on LiNiCoMnO materials. Results indicate that the strong covalent interactions between citric acid and NiCoMn(OH) precursor effectively promote the adsorption of ZrO coating species on NiCoMn(OH) precursor, which is eventually converted to uniform LiZrO coating layers of about 7 nm after thermal annealing. The uniform LiZrO coating endows LNCM811 cathode materials with an exceptionally high capacity retention of 98.7% after 300 cycles at 1 C. This work shows the great potential of covalent interfacial engineering for improving the electrochemical cycling capability of Ni-rich lithium-ion battery cathode materials.
