Evaluation of Cathode Materials with Lithium-Metal Anodes: Baseline Performance and Protocol Standardization of Coin Cells

The collaborative evaluation of electrode materials across multiple research entities requires standardized electrochemical testing protocols to produce reliable, one-to-one comparisons between different systems of interest. Similar to the work done by Long et al. on protocol standardization for coin-cell testing with graphite anodes [J. Electrochem. Soc., 163, A2999, (2016)], here we introduce two standardized testing protocols designed to quickly evaluate important electrochemical properties of cathode materials using lithium-metal anodes. The two protocols measure kinetic and thermodynamic capacity losses, rate- and voltage-dependent cycling capacities, instabilities at high voltage and high cycling rate, and overpotentials at various states of charge. We then apply these protocols to four commercially available cathode materials to establish benchmark performance metrics that can be used to screen and evaluate new cathode materials.

Baselining Activity and Stability of ORR Catalysts and Electrodes for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells for Heavy-Duty Applications

Activity and stability of electrodes with Pt and PtCo alloy catalysts supported on high surface area carbon, hereafter to as a-Pt/C and d-PtCo/C, were evaluated for heavy-duty applications. Both catalysts had nearly identical Pt loading (50-wt% Pt on carbon and 0.25 mg Pt cm −2 ) and had undergone thermal treatment to stabilize them by growing the average particle size to 4–5 nm. Both were subjected to 90,000 (90 k) standard accelerated stress tests (AST) cycles consisting of 0.6–0.95 V square wave potentials, 3-s hold at upper and lower potential limits in H 2 /N 2 at 1.5 atm, 80 °C and 100% RH. Test protocols were developed to monitor the performance losses and characterize them in terms of activity for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), oxygen transport in the electrode and proton transport in the membrane and cathode catalyst layer. Despite the nearly double initial ORR activity, the PtCo/C electrode degraded faster due to the leaching of Co from the catalyst that had started even before the imposition of the AST potential cycles. Commensurate with Co leaching, Co poisoning of ionomer is responsible for the inferior performance of d-PtCo/C electrode at high current densities both before and after AST.

Baseline vs. DER Scenario

Projections and associated uncertainty estimates are generated for a variety of user-selectable EV charging sessions, electricity tariffs, subsidy levels, revenue schemes, charging station configurations, and on-site solar and/or storage options. The outputs are presented in CHIP's web portal browser in the form of easily interpretable graphics (interactive graphs and bar charts) that facilitate convenient comparison among different scenarios to aid decision-making. The user should bring assumptions for modeling on simulation planning horizon, number of EV charging sessions per year, electricity costs (energy and demand charge rates; flat versus time-of-use rate), site capital costs (equipment for EV chargers and transformer), solar PV, and battery energy storage (kW).
