摘要:

电荷与结构之间的关系决定了电化学系统的性质。例如,可逆的钠离子嵌入——一种低成本的锂离子技术替代方案——常常诱发有害的结构相变,并与电荷补偿反应耦合。然而,关于支撑这些电荷-结构机制的基本原理知之甚少,因为在共存结构相中的还原-氧化(redox)反应迄今为止一直难以进行直接的原位研究。在此,我们在P2-Na2/3Ni1/3Mn2/3O2——一种钠离子电池的典型层状氧化物——中,于氧化还原诱导的相变过程中原位区分了各个晶相的X射线光谱。我们测量了与P2相晶格间距对应的布拉格反射上的共振弹性散射。在原位纽扣电池中,这些共振光谱在钠脱出过程的中途变得静止,而整体的钠脱出仍在继续,这一点由对所有电化学活性Ni原子进行平均的X射线吸收所证实。P2结构中氧化还原活性的停止表明其无法容纳Ni4+离子。O2-结构的同步出现揭示了相变过程中局域氧化还原与长程有序之间的刚性联系。因此,结构选择性X射线光谱学为解决多相电化学系统中不同结构相的动态化学开辟了一条强有力的途径。

英文摘要:

The relationship between charge and structure dictates the properties of electrochemical systems. For example, reversible Na-ion intercalation - a low-cost alternative to Li-ion technology - often induces detrimental structural phase transformations coupled with charge compensation reactions. However, little is known about the underpinning charge-structure mechanisms because the reduction-oxidation (redox) reactions within coexisting structural phases have so far eluded direct operando investigation. Here, we distinguish x-ray spectra of individual crystalline phases operando during a redox-induced phase transformation in P2-Na2/3Ni1/3Mn2/3O2 - an archetypal layered oxide for sodium-ion batteries. We measure the resonant elastic scattering on the Bragg reflection corresponding to the P2-phase lattice spacing. These resonant spectra become static midway through the sodium extraction in an operando coin cell, while the overall sodium extraction proceeds as evidenced by the X-ray absorption averaging over all electrochemically active Ni atoms. The stop of redox activity in the P2-structure signifies its inability to host Ni4+ ions. The coincident emergence of the O2- structure reveals the rigid link between the local redox and the long-range order during the phase transformation. The structure-selective x-ray spectroscopy thus opens a powerful avenue for resolving the dynamic chemistry of different structural phases in multi-phase electrochemical systems.
