Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The alkali-ion batteries are the key to unlock the bottleneck of the renewable energy storage and pave the way for a renewable-powered future. Battery technologies for grid-scale energy storage systems requires low costs, safety, high efficiency and high sustainability. In this dissertation, we present not only in-depth understandings of the electrode working mechanism but also develop novel cathode materials for alkali-ion batteries using first principles calculations. We divide the dissertation into four project-based parts. In the first project, we performed a comprehensive study of Prussian blue and its analogues (PBAs) cathodes in aqueous sodium-ion batteries. Using density functional theory calculations, we proposed a general rule of the phase transition that dry PBAs generally undergo a phase transition from a rhombohedral Na2PR(CN)6 (where P and R are transition metals) to a tetragonal/cubic PR(CN)6 during Na extraction, which is in line with experimental observations. Using a grand potential phase diagram construction, we show that existence of lattice water and Na co-intercalation contribute to both higher energy density and better cycling stability. We also identified four new PBA compositions {Na2CoMn(CN)6, Na2NiMn(CN)6, Na2CuMn(CN)6 and Na2ZnMn(CN)6--that show great promise as cathodes for aqueous rechargeable Na-ion batteries. In the second project, we developed design rules for aqueous sodium-ion battery cathodes through a comprehensive density functional theory study of the working potential and aqueous stability of known cathode materials. These design rules were applied in a high-throughput screening of Na-ion battery cathode materials for application in aqueous electrolytes. Five promising cathode materials--NASICON-Na3Fe2(PO4)3, Na2FePO4F, Na3FeCO3PO4, alluadite-Na2Fe3(PO4)3 and Na3MnCO3PO4, were identified as hitherto unexplored aqueous sodium-ion battery cathodes, with high voltage, good capacity, high stability in aqueous environments and facile Na-ion migration. These findings pave the way the practical cathode development for large-scale energy storage systems based on aqueous Na-ion battery chemistry. Then in the third project, we constructed a large database of aqueous Na-ion battery cathodes (Na-ion Aqueous Electrode Database, or NAED) based on the developed design rules in the second project. By screening and analyze the data in the database, we identified two promising candidates, NaMn2O4 and Na2(FeVO4)3 for synthesis and experimentation in aqueous sodium-ion batteries. The final project presents a comprehensive study of Li insertion mechanism in DRX-Li3V2O5 anode in Li-ion batteries. Using a combination of first-principles calculations, cluster expansion and machine learning methods, we show that during discharge, Li ions mainly intercalate into tetrahedral sites, while the majority of Li and V ions in octahedral sites remain stable. Furthermore, its fast-charging nature is attributed to the facile diffusivity of Li ions via a correlated "octahedral-tetrahedral-octahedral" Li diffusion.

Book excerpt: This book covers both the fundamental and applied aspects of advanced Na-ion batteries (NIB) which have proven to be a potential challenger to Li-ion batteries. Both the chemistry and design of positive and negative electrode materials are examined. In NIB, the electrolyte is also a crucial part of the batteries and the recent research, showing a possible alternative to classical electrolytes – with the development of ionic liquid-based electrolytes – is also explored. Cycling performance in NIB is also strongly associated with the quality of the electrode-electrolyte interface, where electrolyte degradation takes place; thus, Na-ion Batteries details the recent achievements in furthering knowledge of this interface. Finally, as the ultimate goal is commercialization of this new electrical storage technology, the last chapters are dedicated to the industrial point of view, given by two startup companies, who developed two different NIB chemistries for complementary applications and markets.
Book Synopsis Structurally and Electronically Diverse Polyanion-based Cathode Materials for Alkali-ion Batteries by : Prashanth Sandineni
Download or read book Structurally and Electronically Diverse Polyanion-based Cathode Materials for Alkali-ion Batteries written by Prashanth Sandineni and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Through this investigation polyanion-based cathode materials including sulfates, phosphates, and phosphites of transition metal have been synthesized for lithium and sodium-ion batteries and their electrochemical performances were evaluated. The emphasis was on soft chemical routes to discover metastable phases which are often missed in high temperature synthesis. Iron-based compounds were the main focus of this investigation, however, concurrently a few vanadium-analogues of iron compounds were investigated to evaluate the effect of multi-electron process on achievable voltage and capacity. This investigation resulted in the discovery of several compounds with unique crystal structures, namely AFe3(SO4)2(OH)6 (A = Na/NH4), NaFe(HPO4)2, Li2Fe(H[sub 0.5]PO4)2, Li3Fe(PO4)2, Fe3(PO4)2(OH)2, LiV(HPO3)2 and Na3(VO)2(PO4)2F. Single-crystal and synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction techniques have been used to determine the crystal structures. Partial fluoro-substitution in NaFe3(SO4)2(OH)6 improved Li-ion insertion voltage and achievable capacity owing to a synergistic effect of smaller particle size and inductive effect. A new composition, NaFe(HPO4)2, was synthesized through a hydrothermal route. Subsequent partial and full ion-exchange produced two new electroactive compounds, Li2Fe(H[sub 0.5]PO4)2 and Li3Fe(PO4)2, respectively. A mineral, barbosalite, Fe3(PO4)2(OH)2, has been evaluated as a cathode for Li-ion battery and exhibited capacity enhancement on cycling. LiV(HPO3)2 and Na3(VO)2(PO4)2F exhibited facile electrochemistry with an average voltage of 4.0 and 3.8 V in Li- and Na-ion batteries, respectively. Both of these compounds showed two electron processes with capacities exceeding 125 and 150 mAh.g−1, respectively"--Abstract, page iv.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A number of new materials have been discovered through exploratory synthesis with the aim to be studied as the positive electrode (cathode) in Li-ion and Na-ion batteries. The focus has been set on the ease of synthesis, cost and availability of active ingredients in the battery, and decent cycle-life performance through a combination of iron and several polyanionic ligands. An emphasis has been placed also on phosphite (HPO32−) as a polyanionic ligand, mainly due to the fact that it has not been studied seriously before as a polyanion for cathode materials. The concept of mixed polyanions, for example, boro-phosphate and phosphate-nitrates were also explored. In each case the material was first made and purified via different synthetic strategies, and the crystal structure, which dominantly controls the performance of the materials, has been extensively studied through Single-Crystal X-ray Diffraction (SCXRD) or synchrotron-based Powder X-ray Diffraction (PXRD). This investigation yielded four new compositions, namely Li3Fe2(HPO3)3Cl, LiFe(HPO3)2, Li[subscript 0.8]Fe(H2O)2B[P2O]·H2O and AFePO4NO3 (A = NH4/Li, K). Furthermore, for each material the electrochemical performance for insertion of Li ion has been studied by means of various electrochemical techniques to reveal the nature of alkali ion insertion. In addition Na-ion intercalation has been studied for boro-phosphate and AFePO4NO3. Additionally a novel synthesis procedure has been reported for tavorite LiFePO4F[subscript 1-x](OH)[subscript x], where 0
