ABSTRACTThe structural and chemical stabilities of layered Li1-xCoO2-δ, Li1-xNi0.85Co0.15O2-δ and Li1-xNi0.5Mn0.5O2-δ (0 ≤ (1-x) ≤ 1) cathodes have been investigated by chemically extracting lithium from the corresponding LiMO2 with the oxidizer NO2BF4 in acetonitrile medium. While Li1-xCoO2-δ and Li1-xNi0.85Co0.15O2-δ begin to form a P3-type and a new O3-type (designated as O3') phases, respectively, for (1-x) < 0.5 and (1-x) < 0.3, Li1-xNi0.5Mn0.5O2-δ maintains the initial O3-type structure without forming any second phase. Chemical analysis with a redox titration indicates that the Li1-xCoO2-δ, Li1-xNi0.85Co0.15O2-δ, and Li1-xNi0.5Mn0.5O2-δ systems begin to lose oxygen from the lattice, respectively, for (1-x) < 0.5, < 0.3 and < 0.4, which is accompanied by an onset of a decrease in the c parameter. The oxygen loss signals chemical instability and the trend in instability correlates with the charging voltage profiles of the cathodes.

Lithium-ion batteries are ubiquitous in society, used in everything from children's toys to mobile electronic devices, providing portable power solutions. There is a continuous drive for the improvement of these batteries to meet the demands of higher power devices and uses. A large proportion of the function of lithium-ion batteries arises from the electrodes, and these are in turn mediated by the atomic-scale perturbations or changes in the crystal structure during an electrochemical process (e.g. battery use). Therefore, a method to both understand battery function and propose ideas to improve their performance is to probe the electrode crystal structure evolution in situ while an electrochemical process is occurring inside a battery. Our work has utilized the benefits of in situ neutron diffraction (e.g. sensitivity towards lithium) to literally track the time-resolved evolution of lithium in electrode materials used in lithium-ion batteries (see Figure 1). With this knowledge we have been able to directly relate electrochemical properties such as capacity and differences in charge/discharge behaviour of a battery to the content and distribution of lithium in the electrode crystal structure. This talk will showcase some of our in situ investigations of materials in lithium-ion batteries, such as LiCoO2, LiFePO4, Li1+yMn2O4, LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 and Li4Ti5O12/TiO2 electrodes. In addition, selected examples of our work using time-resolved in situ X-ray diffraction to probe other batteries types, such as primary lithium and secondary (rechargeable) sodium-ion batteries will be presented. Using time-resolved diffraction data, a comprehensive atomic-scale picture of battery functionality can be modelled and permutations can be made to the electrodes and electrochemical conditions to optimize battery performance. Therefore, crystallography and electrochemistry can mesh together to solve our energy needs.

The reversibility of cationic/anionic redox chemistries is significantly improved for the Li-rich layered oxides at a low upper cut-off voltage of 4.5 V (vs. Li/Li+).
