  • The linkage between optical and electrochemical properties of V2O5 cathodes during cycling in aqueous Zn-ion batteries using wide-field reflectivity
Title: The linkage between optical and electrochemical properties of V2O5 cathodes during cycling in aqueous Zn-ion batteries using wide-field reflectivity
Abstract Understanding dynamic processes in battery materials under real-time conditions is critical for advancing electrochemical storage technologies. Here, we develop anoperandooptical technique to probe changes in the wide-field reflectance of vanadium oxide cathodes during cycling in aqueous Zn-ion batteries by using a budget-friendly experimental setup and lab-made Python code. The results indicate that brightness of the vanadium oxide was dramatically changed with intercalation process at certain states-of-(dis)charge. Our methodology correlates wide-field reflectance changes with electrochemical behavior, enablingoperandomonitoring of the materials' evolution in aqueous battery systems.

    The battery chemistry must be diversified to achieve a sustainable energy landscape by effectively utilizing renewable energy sources. Alkali metal-ion, all-solid-state, metal-air batteries, and multivalent batteries offer unique cost, safety, raw material abundance, energy, and power density solutions. However, realizing these “Beyond Li-ion batteries” must uncover their working principles and performance & property relationship. In this aspect, mitigating chemo-mechanical instabilities in the structure and surface of the electrodes plays a crucial role in their performance. Unfortunately, the coupling between electrochemical and mechanical interactions is often poorly understood due to a lack of operando characterization. This review article explains the working principles of curvature measurement and digital image correlation for measuring stress and strain generations in battery materials. We provided specific examples of how these operando mechanical measurements shed light on instabilities in alkali-metal ion electrodes, solid electrolytes, Li-O2 batteries, and aqueous Zn-ion batteries. Operando mechanical measurements offer an effective way to map changes in the physical fingerprint of the battery materials, therefore providing crucial information to elucidate instabilities in battery materials.

    Abstract Detailed studies of interfacial gas-phase chemical reactions are important for understanding factors that control materials synthesis and environmental conditions that govern materials performance and degradation. Out of the many materials characterization methods that are available for interpreting gas–solid reaction processes,in situandoperandotransmission electron microscopy (TEM) is perhaps the most versatile, multimodal materials characterization technique. It has successfully been utilized to study interfacial gas–solid interactions under a wide range of environmental conditions, such as gas composition, humidity, pressure, and temperature. This stems from decades of R&D that permit controlled gas delivery and the ability to maintain a gaseous environment directly within the TEM column itself or through specialized side-entry gas-cell holders. Combined with capabilities for real-time, high spatial resolution imaging, electron diffraction and spectroscopy, dynamic structural and chemical changes can be investigated to determine fundamental reaction mechanisms and kinetics that occur at site-specific interfaces. This issue ofMRS Bulletincovers research in this field ranging from technique development to the utilization of gas-phase microscopy methods that have been used to develop an improved understanding of multilength-scaled processes incurred during materials synthesis, catalytic reactions, and environmental exposure effects on materials properties.

    Ever-increasing demands for energy, particularly being environmentally friendly have promoted the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy.1Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), arguably the most well-studied energy storage system, have dominated the energy market since their advent in the 1990s.2However, challenging issues regarding safety, supply of lithium, and high price of lithium resources limit the further advancement of LIBs for large-scale energy storage applications.3Therefore, attention is being concentrated on an alternative electrochemical energy storage device that features high safety, low cost, and long cycle life. Rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) is considered one of the most promising alternative energy storage systems due to the high theoretical energy and power densities where the multiple electrons (Zn2+) . In addition, aqueous ZIBs are safer due to non-flammable electrolyte (e.g., typically aqueous solution) and can be manufactured since they can be assembled in ambient air conditions.4As an essential component in aqueous Zn-based batteries, the Zn metal anode generally suffers from the growth of dendrites, which would affect battery performance in several ways. Second, the led by the loose structure of Zn dendrite may reduce the coulombic efficiency and shorten the battery lifespan.5 Several approaches were suggested to improve the electrochemical stability of ZIBs, such as implementing an interfacial buffer layer that separates the active Zn from the bulk electrolyte.6However, the and thick thickness of the conventional Zn metal foils remain a critical challenge in this field, which may diminish the energy density of the battery drastically. According to a theretical calculation, the thickness of a Zn metal anode with an areal capacity of 1 mAh cm-2is about 1.7 μm. However, existing extrusion-based fabrication technologies are not capable of downscaling the thickness Zn metal foils below 20 μm. Herein, we demonstrate a thickness controllable coating approach to fabricate an ultrathin Zn metal anode as well as a thin dielectric oxide separator. First, a 1.7 μm Zn layer was uniformly thermally evaporated onto a Cu foil. Then, Al2O3, the separator was deposited through sputtering on the Zn layer to a thickness of 10 nm. The inert and high hardness Al2O3layer is expected to lower the polarization and restrain the growth of Zn dendrites. Atomic force microscopy was employed to evaluate the roughness of the surface of the deposited Zn and Al2O3/Zn anode structures. Long-term cycling stability was gauged under the symmetrical cells at 0.5 mA cm-2for 1 mAh cm-2. Then the fabricated Zn anode was paired with MnO2as a full cell for further electrochemical performance testing. To investigate the evolution of the interface between the Zn anode and the electrolyte, a home-developed in-situ optical observation battery cage was employed to record and compare the process of Zn deposition on the anodes of the Al2O3/Zn (demonstrated in this study) and the procured thick Zn anode. The surface morphology of the two Zn anodes after circulation was characterized and compared through scanning electron microscopy. The tunable ultrathin Zn metal anode with enhanced anode stability provides a pathway for future high-energy-density Zn-ion batteries.Obama, B., The irreversible momentum of clean energy.Science2017,355(6321), 126-129.Goodenough, J.

    Abstract Non‐aqueous redox flow batteries can support the growing need for grid scale energy storage. Conductive and selective membranes are critical to enabling advanced flow battery technology with higher energy density and lower cost. Herein, a series of crosslinked poly(phenylene oxide)‐based membranes functionalized with phenoxyaniline tri‐sulfonate fixed charges are developed and reported. Increasing the degree of functionalization increased the theoretical ion exchange capacity (IEC) to 2.62 mEq g−1compared with a previously achieved maximum of 2.06 mEq g−1for these materials. Increasing membrane IEC increased conductivity (up to 0.41 mS cm−1) and decreased permeability (<1 × 10−9cm2s−1) based on ex situ measurements. While further improvements are still necessary for economically competitive non‐aqueous flow battery applications, these values are among the highest selectivity reported for cation exchange membranes in non‐aqueous electrolytes. In symmetric non‐aqueous electrochemical flow cell testing, current densities over 2 mA cm−2are achieved, although cell polarization is higher than expected. Long‐term cycling is performed at 1 mA cm−2with average coulombic efficiency over 99% maintained for over 70 cycles. This work reinforces that both ex situ transport properties and electrochemical cell evaluation are necessary when evaluating potential membrane materials, although reporting of both is presently uncommon in the literature.

    In this study, fabrication processes of solid electrolyte/cathode interfaces for their use in next‐generation all‐solid‐state lithium‐ion battery (LIB) applications are described. Standard lithium–aluminum–titanium–phosphate (LATP) solid electrolyte and lithium–manganese oxide (LMO) spinel cathode ceramic half cells are assembled using two all‐solid‐state methods: a) co‐sintering the cathode and electrolyte materials via field‐assisted sintering and b) field‐assisted high‐temperature bonding. The morphology and composition of the interfaces are analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDS). This study reveals that the formation of interphases can be significantly decreased by separately performing the densification and joining procedures. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is applied to understand and determine the effect of the manufactured interfaces on the system conductivity. Based on the results, it is concluded that the high‐temperature bonding technique appears to be a suitable technique for future production of all‐solid‐state LIBs.
