Beneficial Effect of Li 5 FeO 4 Lithium Source for Li-Ion Batteries with a Layered NMC Cathode and Si Anode

The energy density of lithium-ion batteries can be increased by replacing the traditional graphite anode with a high capacity silicon anode. However, volume changes and interfacial instabilities cause a large irreversible capacity and a continual loss of lithium during cycling, which lead to rapid capacity loss. In this work, we add Li 5 FeO 4 (LFO) to a LiNi 0.5 Mn 0.3 Co 0.2 O 2 (NMC) cathode as a pre-lithiation additive, which increases the lithium inventory and extends the cycle life of Si-graphite/NMC full cells, and decreases the NMC particle degradation. LFO delivers a large 764 mAh g –1 LFO capacity below 4.7 V vs Li/Li + . By tuning the LFO content in Si-graphite/LFO-NMC full cells, we show higher capacity, improved retention, lower impedance, and superior rate performance compared to full cells without LFO. Post-test characterizations demonstrate that LFO inclusion in the cathode matrix leads to less NMC secondary particle segregation/cracking and a thinner surface reduced layer on the NMC particles. The beneficial effects of LFO endure after the lithium reserve has been exhausted, highlighting a lasting synergy between the lithium source and electrode active materials. This study introduces a new approach to simultaneously increase lithium inventory and reduce cathode degradation, and makes critical advances toward enabling Si anodes for lithium-ion batteries.

In-situ exsolution of bimetallic CoFe nanoparticles on (La,Sr)FeO 3 perovskite: Its effect on electrocatalytic oxidative coupling of methane

This study presents in-situ reduction of lanthanum strontium cobalt ferrite (LSCF) perovskite as an effective method for modifying its surface properties and enhancing its electrocatalytic reactivity for oxidative coupling of methane (OCM). The evolution of hetero-phases during the reduction of LSCF resulted in CoFe nanoparticles being formed at the surface. The in-situ reduced LSCF cell for OCM could be operated in either an ion pump or a fuel cell mode. High selectivity of 63% and 10.2% were reported for C 2+ hydrocarbons and C 3 H 6 , respectively. DFT calculations on LSCF and CoFe revealed that the high selectivity of C 2+ hydrocarbons on the LSCF primarily stems from the presence of CoFe nanoparticles. In-situ DRIFTS conducted under CH 4 proved that complete oxidation of CH 4 can be effectively inhibited by reducing LSCF, and control of oxygen supply is an important parameter for selective conversion of CH 4 to higher order hydrocarbon.

Covalency in Fe 2 O 3 and FeO: Consequences for XPS satellite intensity

The covalent character of the interaction between the metal cation and the oxygen ligands has been examined for two Fe oxides with different nominal oxidation states, Fe(II)O, and Fe(III) 2 O 3 . The covalent character is examined for the initial, ground state configuration and for the ionic states involving the removal of a shallow core, Fe 3p, and a deep core, Fe 2p, electron. The covalency is assessed based on novel theoretical analyses of wave functions for the various cases. It is found that the covalency is considerably different for different oxidation states and for different ionized and non-ionized configurations. The changes in covalency for the ions are shown to be responsible for important changes in relaxation energies for X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) spectra and in the intensity lost from main XPS peaks to shake satellites. While these consequences are not observables themselves, they are important for the interpretation of the XPS spectra, in particular, for efforts to extract stoichiometries of these iron oxides from XPS data. This is a finding likely applicable across various 3d transition metal oxide materials.
