Graphite is used as a state-of-the-art anode in commercial lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to its highly reversible lithium-ion storage capability and low electrode potential. However, graphite anodes exhibit sluggish diffusion kinetics for lithium-ion intercalation/deintercalation, thus limiting the rate capability of commercial LIBs. In order to determine the lithium-ion diffusion coefficient of commercial graphite anodes, we employed a galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT) to quantify the quasi-equilibrium open circuit potential and diffusion coefficient as a function of lithium-ion concentration and potential for a commercial graphite electrode. Three plateaus are observed in the quasi-equilibrium open circuit potential curves, which are indicative of a mixed phase upon lithium-ion intercalation/deintercalation. The obtained diffusion coefficients tend to increase with increasing lithium concentration and exhibit an insignificant difference between charge and discharge conditions. This study reveals that the diffusion coefficient of graphite obtained with the GITT (1 × 10−11 cm2/s to 4 × 10−10 cm2/s) is in reasonable agreement with literature values obtained from electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The GITT is comparatively simple and direct and therefore enables systematic measurements of ion intercalation/deintercalation diffusion coefficients for secondary ion battery materials.

ABSTRACTThe electrochemical permeation method was applied to the determination of the diffusion coefficient of Li+ion (DLi+) in a glassy carbon (GC) plate. The cell was composed of two compartments, which were separated by the GC plate. Li+ions were inserted electrochemically from one face, and extracted from the other. The flux of the permeated Li+ions was monitored as an oxidation current at the latter face. The diffusion coefficient was determined by fitting the transient current curve with a theoretical one derived from Fick's law. When the potential was stepped between two potentials in the range of 0 to 0.5 V, transient curves were well fitted with the theoretical one, which gaveDLi+ values on the order of 10−8cm2s−1. In contrast, when the potential was stepped between two potentials across 0.5 V, significant deviation was observed. The deviation indicated the presence of trap sites as well as diffusion sites for Li+ions, the former of which is the origin of the irreversible capacity of GC.

LiNi1−x−yMnxCoyO2 materials are a typical class of layered cathode materials with excellent electrochemical performance in lithium-ion batteries. Molecular dynamics simulations are performed for LiNi1−x−yMnxCoyO2 materials with different transition metal ratios. The Li/Ni exchange ratio, ratio of anti-site Ni2+ to total Ni2+, and diffusion coefficient of Li ions in these materials are calculated. The results show that the Li-ion diffusion coefficient strongly depends on the ratio of anti-site Ni2+ to total Ni2+ because their variation tendencies are similar. In addition, the local coordination structure of the Li/Ni anti-site is analyzed.

<div>The shear-phase compound TiNb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>7</sub> has recently emerged as a safe and high-volumetric density replacement for graphite anodes in lithium ion batteries. An appealing feature of TiNb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>7</sub> is that it retains capacity even at high cycling rates. Here we demonstrate that phase pure and crystalline TiNb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>7</sub> can be rapidly prepared using a high-temperature microwave synthesis method. Studies of the charging and discharging of this material, including through operando calorimetry, permit key thermodynamic parameters to be revealed. The nature of heat generation is dominated by Joule heating, which sensitively changes as the conductivity of the electrode increases with increasing lithiation. The enthalpy of mixing, obtained from operando calorimetry, is found to be small across the different degrees of lithiation pointing to the high rate of lithium ion diffusion at the origin of rapid rate performance.</div>
