密度泛函理论分析解释预锂化硅纳米线中的体积膨胀

Density Functional Theory Analysis that Explains the Volume Expansion in Prelithiated Silicon Nanowires

Donald C. Boone

AI总结:

本研究利用密度泛函理论分析预锂化硅纳米线在锂离子嵌入和电流作用下的体积膨胀,发现膨胀在x=3.25开始,至完全锂化时超过原始体积300%,与未考虑基态能量的先前研究结果显著不同。

摘要:

本研究是一项理论研究,模拟了预锂化硅纳米线在锂离子嵌入及施加电流过程中的体积膨胀。利用密度泛函理论(DFT),将预锂化硅(Li_xSi)的基态能量 E_g (x) 定义为锂离子(Li+)浓度(x)的函数。随着Li+浓度的增加,E_g (x) 在x=1.00至x=2.415范围内变得越来越稳定,而当锂离子浓度x>2.415时,其稳定性下降,直至硅纳米线在x=3.75时达到完全锂化。在确定锂化硅基态能量后,对锂化硅纳米线在不同Li+浓度x下施加电流。研究发现,体积膨胀大约在x=3.25时开始,并在x=3.75(即完全锂化点)时增加到原始未锂化硅纳米线体积的300%以上。这与先前未考虑基态能量的研究形成鲜明对比。在以往的研究中,体积膨胀的计算大约从x=0.75开始,并产生连续的非线性体积膨胀,直到过程在完全锂化时终止。

英文摘要:

This research is a theoretical study that simulates the volume expansion of a prelithiated silicon nanowire during lithium ion insertion and the application of an electric current. Utilizing density functional theory (DFT) the ground state energy E_g (x) of prelithiated silicon (Li_xSi) is define as a function of the lithium ion (Li+) concentration (x). As the Li+ are increased, E_g (x) becomes increasingly stable from x=1.00 through x=2.415 and decreases in stability as the lithium ion concentration becomes x >2.415 until full lithiation of the silicon nanowire is reached at x=3.75. After the determination of the lithiated silicon ground state energies an electric current is applied to the lithiated silicon nanowire at varies Li+ concentrations x. It was discovered that the volume expansion began at approximately x=3.25 and increased to over 300% of the original volume of a pristine silicon nanowire at x=3.75 which at this point was full lithiation. This is in sharp contrast to prior research studies where the ground state energy was not considered. In previous studies the computation of the volume expansion starts approximately at x=0.75 and produces a continuous nonlinear volume expansion until the process was terminated at full lithiation.
