The Electrochemical Stability of Starch Carbon as an Important Property in the Construction of a Lithium-Ion Cell

This paper shows use of starch-based carbon (CSC) and graphene as the anode electrode for lithium-ion cell. To describe electrochemical stability of the half-cell system and kinetic parameters of charging process in different temperatures, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurement was adopted. It has been shown that smaller resistances are observed for CSC. Additionally, Bode plots show high electrochemical stability at higher temperatures. The activation energy for the SEI (solid–electrolyte interface) layer, charge transfer, and electrolyte were in the ranges of 24.06–25.33, 68.18–118.55, and 13.84–15.22 kJ mol−1, respectively. Moreover, the activation energy of most processes is smaller for CSC, which means that this electrode could serve as an eco-friendly biodegradable lithium-ion cell element.

Inhibitive Action

The inhibitive action of water extract of naturally occurring Elettaria cardamomum plant against the corrosion of zinc in 1.0 M HCl solution was investigated using weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. From these measurements, it was found that the values of surface coverage (θ) and inhibition efficiency increase with increasing the concentration of the extracted compound. The activation energy of the corrosion was calculated and it was found that the presence of the extracted compound in 1.0 M HCl solutions increases the values of activation energy. The inhibiting effect of this extract results from its adsorption on the electrode surface via the adsorption centers of the compounds present in the extract. The adsorption of this extract compound onto the surface of zinc follows the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The thermodynamic parameters were calculated for the tested system from the data obtained at different temperatures.

Maleamic Acid

Low-molecular-weight carbonyl-containing compounds are considered beneficial energy storage materials in alkali metal-ion/alkaline earth metal-ion secondary batteries owing to the ease of their synthesis, low cost, rapid kinetics, and high theoretical energy density. This study aims to prepare a novel carbonyl compound containing a maleamic acid (MA) backbone as a material with carbon black to a new MA anode electrode for a lithium-ion battery. MA was subjected to attenuated total reflection-Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and its morphology was assessed through scanning electron microscopy, followed by differential scanning calorimetry to determine its thermal stability. Thereafter, the electrochemical properties of MA were investigated in coin cells (2032-type) containing Li metal as a reference electrode. The MA anode electrode delivered a high reversible capacity of about 685 mAh g−1 in the first cycle and a higher rate capability than that of the pristine carbon black electrode. Energy bandgap analysis, electrochemical impedance, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that MA significantly reduces cell impedance by reforming its chemical structure into new nitrogen-based highly ionic diffusion compounds. This combination of a new MA anode electrode with MA and carbon black can increase the performance of the lithium-ion battery, and MA majorly outweighs transitional carbon black.

Abstract Experimental study was carried out to quantify the influence of temperature and different C-rate of discharge on in-house fabricated Lithium-ion (Li-ion) cell. 30Ah Li-ion cell is made of Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) cathode and Meso Carbon Micro Beads (MCMB) anode in prismatic configuration. Capability of Li-ion cell is defined by discharge capacity, voltage & power at different C-rate of discharge. Influence of 4 different current rates (C/5, C/2, 1C & 2C) at 5 different temperatures (−20, 0, 20, 40 and 60 °C) were studied. High discharge rate increases current density of cell which affect mass transport at electrode surface and electrolyte. Increased ohmic and concentration polarization at high rate of discharge decrease the original capacity. Average discharge voltage of cell is reduced gradually as operating temperature drop to below 20 °C. Electrochemical Impedance (EI) were measured on Li-ion cell in different frequency domain at different temperatures (−20, 0, 20 and 60 °C). The obtained impedance spectra were examined with an equivalent circuit using Zman software. The ohmic and charge transfer resistance displayed a solid dependence with respect to temperature.

Current Flows

The thermal behavior of a commercial lithium-ion cell with the cathode material LiNi0.6Mn0.2Co0.2O2 (NMC622) was investigated during the cycling process using a Tian-Calvet calorimeter (C80, SETARAM Instrumentation, France). Various current flows of 42.5, 85, and 170 mA corresponding to charging rates of 0.5, 1, and 2 C, respectively, were applied in the measurements. The corresponding heat flow rates were measured by the C80 calorimeter at 30 °C. The reversible heat effect due to the reversible electrochemical reaction was quantified by the entropy change measurement. The irreversible heat effect due to internal resistances was determined by the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and the galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT). The results were compared with the direct measurement of the heat effect by calorimetry during electrochemical cycling.
