Analysis of Composition and Valence States in Positive Electrode Materials (Fe-Substituted Li2MnO3) for Lithium Ion Batteries by Analytical Transmission Electron Microscopy
Keyword(s):
AbstractAnalytical transmission electron microscopy (ATEM) was applied to investigate local variation of composition of transition metals in each particle of Fe-substituted Li2MnO3, which reveals high specific capacity and high voltage as a positive electrode. Crystal lattice images of primary particles were observed by means of high-resolution TEM (HRTEM), where local composition of Fe and Mn was determined by electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS). It was found that there exist both manganese (Mn)-rich and iron (Fe)-rich regions in a primary particle, where concentration of Fe and Mn fluctuates irregularly in nanometer scale. The relationship between composition and crystal structure in each local region is discussed.
