RESUMO

During solid-state calcination, with increasing temperature, materials undergo complex phase transitions with heterogeneous solid-state reactions and mass transport. Precise control of the calcination chemistry is therefore crucial for synthesizing state-of-the-art Ni-rich layered oxides (LiNi1-x-y Cox Mny O2 , NRNCM) as cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Although the battery performance depends on the chemical heterogeneity during NRNCM calcination, it has not yet been elucidated. Herein, through synchrotron-based X-ray, mass spectrometry microscopy, and structural analyses, it is revealed that the temperature-dependent reaction kinetics, the diffusivity of solid-state lithium sources, and the ambient oxygen control the local chemical compositions of the reaction intermediates within a calcined particle. Additionally, it is found that the variations in the reducing power of the transition metals (i.e., Ni, Co, and Mn) determine the local structures at the nanoscale. The investigation of the reaction mechanism via imaging analysis provides valuable information for tuning the calcination chemistry and developing high-energy/power density lithium-ion batteries.

RESUMO

SiOx (x ≈ 1) is one of the most promising anode materials for application in secondary lithium-ion batteries because of its high theoretical capacity. Despite this merit, SiOx has a poor initial Coulombic efficiency, which impedes its widespread use. To overcome this limitation, in this work, we successfully demonstrate a novel synthesis of Mg-doped SiOx via a mass-producible physical vapor deposition method. The solid-state reaction between Mg and SiOx produces Si and electrochemically inert magnesium silicate, thus increasing the initial Coulombic efficiency. The Mg doping concentration determines the phase of the magnesium silicate domains, the size of the Si domains, and the heterogeneity of these two domains. Detailed electron microscopy and synchrotron-based analysis revealed that the nanoscale homogeneity of magnesium silicates driven by cycling significantly affected the lifetime. We found that 8 wt % Mg is the most optimized concentration for enhanced cyclability because MgSiO3, which is the dominant magnesium silicate composition, can be homogeneously mixed with silicon clusters, preventing their aggregation during cycling and suppressing void formation.
