摘要:

锂离子电池性能的提高需要开发能够捕捉锂离子电池电极材料中基本物理和化学的模型。本文提出了一种新的电化学相场模型,该模型捕捉了锂嵌入TiO $_2$-12中的热力学和动力学性质,TiO $_2$-12是一种众所周知的和深入研究的锂离子电池电极材料。以前的实验工作锂化的钛酸锂$_2$提供了所有必要的参数相场模拟,使有机会获得基本的洞察力锂化的钛酸锂和验证这个相场模型。相场模型捕捉到了实验观察到的基本现象,合理化了C-速率,粒度,表面积和记忆效应对锂离子电池电极性能的影响。从而提供了一个全面的物理图片的锂化的TiO2 $_2$。模拟结果表明,锂离子在颗粒表面的Li $_1$ TiO $_2$相中的扩散不良限制了锂离子的性能。与其他电极材料不同,单个颗粒的动力学限制限制了全电极的性能。因此,改善Li-TiO $_2$电极的性能需要防止在颗粒表面形成阻挡Li-$_1$-TiO $_2$相,而不是改善电极中的离子和电子网络。此外,仅包含文献中参数的相场模型与广泛的实验的定性一致性证明了相场模型用于理解锂离子电极材料的能力,以及其通过透彻理解材料特性及其相互作用来指导电极设计的承诺。

英文摘要:

The improvement of Li-ion battery performance requires development of models that capture the essential physics and chemistry in Li-ion battery electrode materials. In this paper a novel electrochemical phase-field model is presented that captures the thermodynamic and kinetic properties of lithium-insertion in TiO$_2$-anatase, a well-known and intensively studied Li-ion battery electrode material. Previous experimental work on lithiated anatase TiO$_2$ provided all parameters necessary for the phase-field simulations, giving the opportunity to gain fundamental insight in the lithiation of anatase and validate this phase-field model. The phase-field model captures the essential experimentally observed phenomena, rationalising the impact of C-rate, particle size, surface area, and the memory effect on the performance of anatase as a Li-ion battery electrode. Thereby a comprehensive physical picture of the lithiation of anatase TiO$_2$ is provided. The results of the simulations demonstrate that the performance of anatase is limited by the formation of the poor Li-ion diffusion in the Li$_1$TiO$_2$ phase at the surface of the particles. Unlike other electrode materials, the kinetic limitations of individual anatase particles limit the performance of full electrodes. Hence, rather than improving the ionic and electronic network in electrodes, improving the performance of anatase TiO$_2$ electrodes requires preventing the formation of a blocking Li$_1$TiO$_2$ phase at the surface of particles. Additionally, the qualitative agreement of the phase-field model, containing only parameters from literature, with a broad spectrum of experiments demonstrates the capabilities of phase-field models for understanding Li-ion electrode materials, and its promise for guiding the design of electrodes through a thorough understanding of material properties and their interactions.
