Li-rich and catalytically active γ-LixV2O5 (x = 1.48) was investigated as a cathode for its heterogeneous charge transfer kinetics. Using a specially designed two-electrode system lithium half cell, Butler–Volmer analysis was performed, and Raman spectra were acquired in 18 mV intervals. A direct correlation was observed between the Raman shift of the active modes Ag,Bg, Au, and Bu, and the development of the Faraday current at the working electrode. The Raman intensity and the Raman shift were implemented to replace the current in a Tafel plot used for the analysis of Butler–Volmer kinetics. Striking similarities in the charge transfer proportionality constants α were found for current and Raman-based analysis. The potential of this new method of Raman-aided electrochemical detection at the diffraction limit is discussed.

A copolymer of 4-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)phenol (PLPY) and pyrrole ( P(PLPY-co-Py) )was synthesized. And the chemical structure and battery performance of the prepared materials were characterized comparably by 1H NMR, FT-IR spectra and galvanostatic charge-discharge testing using simulant lithium ion half-cell method, respectively. The results shows that the introduction of the phenol group to the pyrrole as a rigid side chain could prevent the polymer from agglomeration and optimize the particle morphology of the resulting polymers, all of which made it demonstrate a significantly improved specific capacity (73.9 mAh•g-1) compared with PPy (21.4 mAh•g-1)

Currently, Li-ion cells are the preferred candidates as energy sources for existing portable applications and for those being developed. Thus, a proper characterization of Li-ion cells is required to optimize their use and their manufacturing process. In this study, the transport phenomena and electrochemical processes taking place in LiCoO2-Li(NiMnCo)O2/graphite (LCO-NMC/graphite) cells are identified from half-cell measurements by means of impedance spectroscopy. The results are calculated from current densities, instead of absolute values, for the future comparison of this data with other cells. In particular, impedance spectra are fitted to simple electrical models composed of an inductive part, serial resistance, and various RQ networks—the parallel combination of a resistor and a constant phase element—depending on the cell. Thus, the evolution of resistances, capacitances, and the characteristic frequencies of the various effects are tracked with the state-of-charge (SoC) at two aging levels. Concretely, two effects are identified at the impedance spectrum; one is clearly caused by the charge transfer at the positive electrode, whereas the other one is presumably caused by the transport of lithium ions across the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer. Moreover, as the cells age, the characteristic frequency of the charge transfer is drastically reduced by a factor of around 70%.
