AI总结:

本研究首次探索具有相变特性的VO2作为锂离子电池正极,发现其68°C发生金属-绝缘体相变后高温相电化学性能显著提升,为通过相变调控电极性能、突破高温电池性能衰减瓶颈提供了新思路。

摘要:

具有相变行为、从而在工作过程中电化学活性发生剧烈变化的电极材料,尚未在锂离子电池中得到探索。本文展示了钒氧化物(VO2)正极,该材料在68°C的电池工作可及温度下会因一级结构相变发生金属-绝缘体转变。我们采用一种适用于相变温度区间且与钒氧化物正极兼容的电解质,研究了电极结构变化对锂嵌入的影响,以及相变温度上下的电化学特性。与绝缘的低温相相比,高温VO2相的电容显著提升,电流倍率性能增强,电导率和锂离子扩散系数均有所改善。这为电极设计开辟了新途径,使得人们可以在相变温度附近调控电化学反应,尤其是能在高温下提升电化学性能——这与现有电池化学体系在高温下性能衰减的特点截然相反。

英文摘要:

Use of electrode materials that show phase change behavior and hence drastic changes in electrochemical activity during operation, have not been explored for Li-ion batteries. Here we demonstrate the vanadium oxide (VO2) cathode that undergoes metal-insulator transition due to first-order structural phase transition at accessible temperature of 68°C for battery operation. Using a suitable electrolyte operable across the phase transition range and compatible with vanadium oxide cathodes, we studied the effect of electrode structure change on lithium insertion followed by the electrochemical characteristics above and below the phase transition temperature. The high-temperature VO2 phase shows significantly improved capacitance, enhanced current rate capabilities, improved electrical conductivity and lithium-ion diffusivity compared to the insulating low temperature phase. This opens up new avenues for electrode designs, allowing manipulation of electrochemical reactions around phase transition temperatures, and in particular enhancing electrochemical properties at elevated temperatures contrary to existing classes of battery chemistries that lead to performance deterioration at elevated temperatures.
