Solvent-Mediated Synthesis of Amorphous Li 3 PS 4 /Polyethylene Oxide Composite Solid Electrolytes with High Li + Conductivity

Solvent-mediated routes have emerged as an effective, scalable, and low-temperature method to fabricate sulfide-based solid-state electrolytes. However, tuning the synthesis conditions to optimize the electrolyte’s morphology, structure, and electrochemical properties is still underexplored. Here, we report a new class of composite solid electrolytes (SEs) containing amorphous Li 3 PS 4 synthesized in situ with a poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) binder using a one-pot, solvent-mediated route. The solvent and thermal processing conditions have a dramatic impact on the Li 3 PS 4 structure. Conducting the synthesis in tetrahydrofuran resulted in crystalline β-Li 3 PS 4 whereas acetonitrile led to amorphous Li 3 PS 4 . Annealing at 140 °C increased the Li + conductivity of an amorphous composite (Li 3 PS 4 + 1 wt % PEO) by 3 orders of magnitude (e.g., from 4.5 × 10 –9 to 8.4 × 10 –6 S/cm at room temperature) because of: (i) removal of coordinated solvent and (ii) rearrangement of the polyanionic network to form P 2 S 7 4– and PS 4 3– moieties. The PEO content in these composites should be limited to 1–5 wt % to ensure reasonable Li+ conductivity (e.g., up to 1.1 × 10 –4 S/cm at 80 °C) while providing enough binder to facilitate scalable processing. Here, the results of this study highlight a new strategy to suppress crystallization in sulfide-based SEs, which has important implications for solid-state batteries.

Pristine Interface between Lithium Lanthanum Zirconate and Lithium Manganese Oxide by Pulsed Laser Deposition

Solid state lithium-ion batteries have garnered increasing interest in recent years due to several potential advantages over liquid-electrolyte based systems. The possibility of integrating the lithium garnet oxide, Li 6.75 La 3 Zr 1.75 Ta 0.25 O 12 (LLZTO), with the high voltage cathode, spinel Li x Mn 2 O 4 (LMO), is evaluated here. Thin film bilayer structures are prepared by pulsed laser deposition on MgO (001) substrates and characterized by x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The LLZTO is grown by an alternating layer-by-layer deposition of LLZTO and Li 3 N and subsequently annealed for several hours at 575 °C to promote crystallinity. Growth of crystalline LMO with a pristine interface to LLZTO is achieved by gentle heat treatment (500 °C) to remove surface carbonate from the electrolyte and by cathode growth at a low temperature of 250 °C. Higher temperature depositions (330 – 450 °C) result in reaction between the two materials and the appearance of Li 2 MnO 3 , which may be in part due to the presence of excess lithium in the electrolyte layer. Because fully lithiated LiMn 2 O 4 has a voltage of ≈3.7 V versus Li+/Li, the observation of a well-defined interface, free of impurity phases and with no interdiffusion of elements, indicates LLZTO is stable to at least 3.7 V.

A Polymer-in-Salt Electrolyte with Enhanced Oxidative Stability for Lithium Metal Polymer Batteries

Lithium (Li) metal polymer batteries (LMPBs) are a promising candidate of solid-state batteries with high safety. However, rare progress has been demonstrated so far in high voltage stability of polyethylene oxide (PEO) based polymer electrolytes for LMPBs. Herein, we revived the polymer-in-salt electrolyte (PISE) strategy based on the PEO-LiFSI system with EO/Li = 8 through a dry process to avoid the contamination of the residual solvent. The obtained PISEs exhibit quite different morphologies and coordination structures which greatly enhance the oxidative stability of polymer electrolytes. P(EO)1LiFSI has a low melting temperature, a high ionic conductivity at 60 ?C and an oxidative stability of ~4.5 V vs. Li/Li+ (overcoming the inherent low oxidative stability of PEO). With an effective interphase rich in inorganic species, in combination with good stability of the hybrid polymer electrolyte towards Li metal, the cycling stability of Li||LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 is greatly improved. The LMPB can retain 74.4% of capacity after 186 cycles at 60 ?C under the charge cutoff voltage of 4.3 V. The findings point out a promising strategy to develop high-voltage stable polymer electrolytes for high energy-density and safe LMPBs.

Electrochemical chlor-iron process for iron production from iron oxide and salt water

The iron and steel industry accounts for ~8% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Electrochemical reduction of iron ore to metal for electric arc furnaces can enable sustainable steel production, but existing electrochemical processes require expensive capital or electrolytes. Here we report a low-temperature, electrochemical cell that consumes low-cost and abundant iron oxide and aqueous sodium chloride, while co-producing sodium hydroxide and chlorine. Industrially relevant current densities and Faradaic efficiencies for iron production were demonstrated, with 94% selectivity to iron metal at an applied current density of 200 mA cm –2 . Freestanding films of phase-pure iron were formed after 4h of continuous, stable electrolysis. The process can lead to levelized costs of iron that are competitive with iron produced in fossil-fuel-powered blast furnaces, and the co-produced sodium hydroxide can be used for CO 2 capture from the air or ocean, creating a net-negative-emission process.

Effect of Fluoride Anions on Nd(III) Electrode Processes and Nd Metal Recovery in LiCl–KCl–NdCl 3

Here, this work investigated the impact of fluoride anions on Nd metal recovery in LiCl–KCl–NdCl 3 electrolytes by introducing LiF at a molar F/Nd ratio of 9 at 773 K. The voltammetric measurements confirmed that the fluoride ions facilitated single-step Nd(III)/Nd reduction by promoting the stability of the Nd(III) state compared to two-step reduction (Nd(III)/Nd(II) and Nd(II)/Nd) in all-chloride electrolytes. The stabilized Nd(III) state in the LiF-containing electrolyte effectively suppressed partial Nd(III)/Nd(II) reduction and the back-dissolution of Nd metal via comproportionation. By suppressing these reactions, high round-trip Coulombic efficiencies of 77–86% were achieved in the LiF-containing electrolyte during selective Nd deposition–removal cycles compared to 53–59% in all-chloride electrolytes. The Faradaic yield for Nd metal recovery was estimated at 38.6% in the LiF-containing electrolyte following long-term electrolysis, more than three times higher than 11.3% in all-chloride electrolytes. These results confirm the beneficial effect of fluoride ions on Nd metal recovery in low-melting chloride-based electrolytes, promising efficient Nd recovery at low temperatures.

Integrated protonic ceramic electrochemical cell for sustainable energy economy using water-energy nexus framework

Reliance on fossil fuels will continue for the next decades even though there are global pushes away from it to mitigate the overarching climate challenge, most especially by its highest consumers and availability. While there is a hastening global shift away from fossil fuel, integrating its assets into this technology helps limit the risk and future losses of stranded assets and reduce the cost of investment in the new technologies. Moreover, the generation of electricity from intermittent renewable sources like solar and wind has witnessed a significant surge in recent years, leading to a pressing demand for practical energy storage systems. Electrical energy storage is anticipated to play a pivotal role in the future global energy system, facilitating load-leveling operations to support the greater integration of renewable and distributed generation. Reversible electrochemical cells (RECs) offer a promising option for addressing the fossil fuel assets integration and energy storage challenges through the interconversion between electrical and chemical energy and concurrent utilizing carbon emission. In their electrolysis mode, the RECs convert electricity into durable, storable, and portable valuable chemical fuels such as syngas and methane. Conversely, the produced chemical fuels can be used as reactants in the fuel cell mode to generate electricity on demand with minimal (hydrocarbons) or zero when H2 or NH3 is used emissions. However, a challenging goal for this type of technology remains to achieve optimal operation and high roundtrip efficiencies, which has hindered the deployment of previous electrochemical cells. This dissertation demonstrates how reversible protonic ceramic electrochemical cells (RePCECs) can be integrated with fossil fuel power plants and renewable energy sources as a potential energy storage system. In this work, integrated RePCEC systems are designed and examined using computational modeling at scales to determine appropriate system configurations and operating conditions that achieve high roundtrip efficiencies. Cell level design of the PCEC is the first approach, several cells are assembled for the stack level model that is integrated into combined cycle powerplant and solar photovoltaic for the system level model. After critical literature review, this answered the operational and integration research questions proposed to address these challenges. The designed systems perform two functions, utilizing captured CO2 and storing renewable energy through co-electrolysis of steam and CO2. The co-electrolysis reaction involves endothermic water electrolysis and exothermic methanation reaction. To enhance high roundtrip efficiency, there is a need for thermal balance and management in the electrolysis mode. This involves operating the RePCEC stack under conditions that favor methane production to balance out heat needed by water electrolysis, it crucial for the RePCEC system operation. Methanation is enhanced by low temperatures. Leveraging on fabricated BCZYYb-electrolyte RePCEC, the cell model designed revealed that the optimum temperature for methane production is 450℃ at atmospheric pressure. Thus, to achieve optimum system performance, operating in the temperature range 450-525℃ is recommended at the given configuration, combining between the optimum temperature for methane production and temperature for the optimum stack roundtrip efficiency. Configuration with carbon capture system and purge stream is the optimum configuration from the seven conceptualized and evaluated. The modeling outcomes include a thermodynamic examination of integrated RePCEC systems, calibration of cell and stack level models, and steady-state simulation and integration into a 600MW combined cycle power plant retrofitted with two two-stage membrane-based carbon capture system and a wastewater treatment and recovery unit. At 100% powerplant loading, the stack and system roundtrip efficiencies are 72% and 51.37% respectively. Adding a purge stream for produced hydrogen at the system downstream improves the efficiencies to 74 and 55.48% respectively. At atmospheric pressure and 525℃, the system model suggests that a stack roundtrip of 82% is achievable, and overall system efficiency increases by reducing the energy consumption by the balance of plant components for steam generation and storage. Economic analysis of the process gives levelized cost of methane as $2.24/MMBtu lower than the conventional production route that range between $3.46/MMBtu and $9.85/MMBtu. The lifecycle analysis shows that the global warming potential for the production of methane and hydrogen from the RePCEC system is 3.83 kg CO2 eq which is lower than 9.35 kg CO2 eq emission during steam methane reforming for hydrogen production. This answered both the environmental and economic concerns in the raised research question. The proposed RePCEC configuration and analysis carried out in this dissertation to address the surge in renewable energy and challenges with PCEC technology hold significant potential in achieving large-scale energy storage while simultaneously reducing carbon emissions. These advancements, coupled with suitable governmental policies and incentive programs, have the potential to economically disrupt the natural gas industries by using RePCEC systems for methane production, thereby making them more favorable for eventual implementation and commercialization.

Formulation of Conductive Inks for DIW Printed Battery Electrodes

Ink formulations for DIW printing of Li ion battery electrodes were optimized for high conductivity, surface area and printability. Our focus is particularly on optimizing Li-ion battery electrodes for low temperature applications by 3-D printing the cathodes into high surface area shapes. The sluggish kinetics of ion transport at the solid-electrolyte phase boundary can be a major problem in batteries at low temperatures, so optimizing for ion transport can help combat these issues. Two families of DIW ink were investigated; aqueous conductive polymer suspension with graphene nano platelets (GNP) ink, and “oil in water” graphene oxide (GO) micro emulsion ink which carbonizes to an open cell graphene aerogel. By iterative formulation changes, the conductivity of PEDOT:PSS based ink was increased over tenfold, and stiffness of GO emulsion ink was increased to provide better printability without sacrificing porosity.

Wide-range continuous tuning of the thermal conductivity of La0.5Sr0.5CoO3-δ films via room-temperature ion-gel gating

Abstract Solid-state control of the thermal conductivity of materials is of exceptional interest for novel devices such as thermal diodes and switches. Here, we demonstrate the ability to continuously tune the thermal conductivity of nanoscale films of La 0.5 Sr 0.5 CoO 3- δ (LSCO) by a factor of over 5, via a room-temperature electrolyte-gate-induced non-volatile topotactic phase transformation from perovskite (with δ ≈ 0.1) to an oxygen-vacancy-ordered brownmillerite phase (with δ = 0.5), accompanied by a metal-insulator transition. Combining time-domain thermoreflectance and electronic transport measurements, model analyses based on molecular dynamics and Boltzmann transport equation, and structural characterization by X-ray diffraction, we uncover and deconvolve the effects of these transitions on heat carriers, including electrons and lattice vibrations. The wide-range continuous tunability of LSCO thermal conductivity enabled by low-voltage (below 4 V) room-temperature electrolyte gating opens the door to non-volatile dynamic control of thermal transport in perovskite-based functional materials, for thermal regulation and management in device applications.

Multiphase, Multiscale Chemomechanics at Extreme Low Temperatures: Battery Electrodes for Operation in a Wide Temperature Range

Understanding the behavior of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) under extreme conditions, for example, low temperature, is key to broad adoption of LIBs in various application scenarios. LIBs, poor performance at low temperatures is often attributed to the inferior lithium-ion transport in the electrolyte, which has motivated new electrolyte development as well as the battery preheating approach that is popular in electric vehicles. A significant irrevocable capacity loss, however, is not resolved by these measures nor well understood. Herein, multiphase, multiscale chemomechanical behaviors in composite LiNi x Mn y Co z O 2 (NMC, x + y + z = 1) cathodes at extremely low temperatures are systematically elucidated. The low-temperature storage of LIBs can result in irreversible structural damage in active electrodes, which can negatively impact the subsequent battery cycling performance at ambient temperature. Furthermore, beside developing electrolytes that have stable performance, designing batteries for use in a wide temperature range also calls for the development of electrode components that are structurally and morphologically robust when the cell is switched between different temperatures.

Tin-based ionic chaperone phases to improve low temperature molten sodium–NaSICON interfaces

High temperature operation of molten sodium batteries impacts cost, reliability, and lifetime, and has limited the widespread adoption of these grid-scale energy storage technologies. Poor charge transfer and high interfacial resistance between molten sodium and solid-state electrolytes, however, prevents the operation of molten sodium batteries at low temperatures. In this study, in situ formation of tin-based chaperone phases on solid state NaSICON ion conductor surfaces is shown in this work to greatly improve charge transfer and lower interfacial resistance in sodium symmetric cells operated at 110 °C at current densities up to an aggressive 50 mA cm –2 . It is shown that static wetting testing, as measured by the contact angle of molten sodium on NaSICON, does not accurately predict battery performance due to the dynamic formation of a chaperone NaSn phase during cycling. This work demonstrates the promise of sodium intermetallic-forming coatings for the advancement of low temperature molten sodium batteries by improved mating of sodium–NaSICON surfaces and reduced interfacial resistance.

Crystal Structure and Preparation of Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) Solid-State Electrolyte and Doping Impacts on the Conductivity: An Overview

As an essential part of solid-state lithium-ion batteries, solid electrolytes are receiving increasing interest. Among all solid electrolytes, garnet-type Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) has proven to be one of the most promising electrolytes because of its high ionic conductivity at room temperature, low activation energy, good chemical and electrochemical stability, and wide potential window. Since the first report of LLZO, extensive research has been done in both experimental investigations and theoretical simulations aiming to improve its performance and make LLZO a feasible solid electrolyte. These include developing different methods for the synthesis of LLZO, using different crucibles and different sintering temperatures to stabilize the crystal structure, and adopting different methods of cation doping to achieve more stable LLZO with a higher ionic conductivity and lower activation energy. It also includes intensive efforts made to reveal the mechanism of Li ion movement and understand its determination of the ionic conductivity of the material through molecular dynamic simulations. Nonetheless, more insightful study is expected in order to obtain LLZO with a higher ionic conductivity at room temperature and further improve chemical and electrochemical stability, while optimal multiple doping is thought to be a feasible and promising route. This review summarizes recent progress in the investigations of crystal structure and preparation of LLZO, and the impacts of doping on the lithium ionic conductivity of LLZO.

Li 2 MnO 3 : A Catalyst for a Liquid Cl 2 Electrode in Low‐Temperature Aqueous Batteries

Abstract Li 2 MnO 3 has been contemplated as a high‐capacity cathode candidate for Li‐ion batteries; however, it evolves oxygen during battery charging under ambient conditions, which hinders a reversible reaction. However, it is unclear if this irreversible process still holds under subambient conditions. Here, the low‐temperature electrochemical properties of Li 2 MnO 3 in an aqueous LiCl electrolyte are evaluated and a reversible discharge capacity of 302 mAh g −1 at a potential of 1.0 V versus Ag/AgCl at −78 °C with good rate capability and stable cycling performance, in sharp contrast to the findings in a typical Li 2 MnO 3 cell cycled at room temperature, is observed. However, the results reveal that the capacity does not originate from the reversible oxygen oxidation in Li 2 MnO 3 but the reversible Cl 2 (l)/Cl − (aq.) redox from the electrolyte. The results demonstrate the good catalytic properties of Li 2 MnO 3 to promote the Cl 2 /Cl − redox at low temperatures.

Insights into the phase stability window, phase transformation behavior, and anisotropic thermal expansion of rhombohedral bismuth oxide

Rhombohedral bismuth oxide has emerged as a promising SOFC electrolyte material, particularly at low-to-intermediate temperatures. The stability window of this phase was explored using a co-doped system, using yttrium and lanthanum or aluminum, over 7.5–25 % total dopant content and 0.907–1.154 Å weighted average dopant cationic radius. The phase transformation behavior of rhombohedral-rich phase mixtures was also investigated in situ from 360 to 656 °C to assess the effects of minor impurity phases and thermal evolution pathways. Our results reveal that low-dopant, rhombohedral-rich compositions exhibit poor structural stability upon heating. Anisotropic thermal expansion behavior was observed over 450–656 °C, serving as a sensitive indicator of sequential phase changes, including the rhombohedral β2-to-β1 transition (∼450 °C), monoclinic phase formation, and delayed or incomplete formation of the cubic phase (∼ 550 °C). These multiple unfavorable phase transitions compromise the mechanical robustness required for SOFC operation. This study underscores the need for compositional tuning to balance ionic conductivity with thermal phase stability in rhombohedral Bi 2 O 3 -based systems.

Use of Ethylene Carbonate Free Ester Solvent Systems with Alternative Lithium Salts for Improved Low-Temperature Performance in NCM622∣∣ Graphite Li-ion Batteries

An investigation of alternative lithium salts, lithium tetrafluoroborate (LiBF 4 ), lithium difluoro(oxalato)borate (LiDFOB) and lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF 6 ), in novel ester-based (methyl acetate/fluoroethylene carbonate- MA/FEC or methyl propionate/fluoroethylene carbonate- MP/FEC) electrolyte formulations has been conducted in LiNi 0.6 Co 0.2 Mn 0.2 O 2 (NCM622)/graphite cells to improve low temperature cycling performance of lithium ion batteries at −20 °C. Improved low temperature performance was observed with all the lithium salts in MA/FEC electrolyte while comparable room temperature (25 °C) capacities were observed with LiPF 6 salt only. Detailed ex-situ analysis of surface films generated with LiBF 4 , LiDFOB and LiPF 6 in ester-based electrolytes reveals that the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is predominately composed of lithium salt decompaction products and addition of 10% FEC (by volume%) may not be sufficient at forming a protective SEI.

Optimized Li-Ion Electrolytes Containing Fluorinated Ester Co-Solvents

A number of experimental lithium-ion cells, consisting of MCMB (meso-carbon microbeads) carbon anodes and LiNi(0.8)Co(0.2)O2 cathodes, have been fabricated with increased safety and expanded capability. These cells serve to verify and demonstrate the reversibility, low-temperature performance, and electrochemical aspects of each electrode as determined from a number of electrochemical characterization techniques. A number of Li-ion electrolytes possessing fluorinated ester co-solvents, namely trifluoroethyl butyrate (TFEB) and trifluoroethyl propionate (TFEP), were demonstrated to deliver good performance over a wide temperature range in experimental lithium-ion cells. The general approach taken in the development of these electrolyte formulations is to optimize the type and composition of the co-solvents in ternary and quaternary solutions, focusing upon adequate stability [i.e., EC (ethylene carbonate) content needed for anode passivation, and EMC (ethyl methyl carbonate) content needed for lowering the viscosity and widening the temperature range, while still providing good stability], enhancing the inherent safety characteristics (incorporation of fluorinated esters), and widening the temperature range of operation (the use of both fluorinated and non-fluorinated esters). Further - more, the use of electrolyte additives, such as VC (vinylene carbonate) [solid electrolyte interface (SEI) promoter] and DMAc (thermal stabilizing additive), provide enhanced high-temperature life characteristics. Multi-component electrolyte formulations enhance performance over a temperature range of -60 to +60 C. With the need for more safety with the use of these batteries, flammability was a consideration. One of the solvents investigated, TFEB, had the best performance with improved low-temperature capability and high-temperature resilience. This work optimized the use of TFEB as a co-solvent by developing the multi-component electrolytes, which also contain non-halogenated esters, film forming additives, thermal stabilizing additives, and flame retardant additives. Further optimization of these electrolyte formulations is anticipated to yield improved performance. It is also anticipated that much improved performance will be demonstrated once these electrolyte solutions are incorporated into hermetically sealed, large capacity prototype cells, especially if effort is devoted to ensure that all electrolyte components are highly pure.

Advances In Li-TiS2 Cell Techno1ogy

JPL is involved in a NASA sponsored program to develop ambient temperature secondary Lithium - Titanium Disulfide Cells for future space missions. After several years of research on various lithium systems, the Li-TiS2 system was selected for development in view of its practically realizable high specific energy. In the last two years, the efforts were focused on improving the cycle life of the system and optimizing the cell design. A number of approaches, such as the use of mixed solvent electrolytes, the use of alternate anode materials, the operation of cells at low temperature, and the cycling of cells under optimized voltage limits, are examined to improve cycle life performance of this system. Cycling studies in small 150 mAh cell have identified 1.5 M LiAsF6/2-MeTHF, 1.5 M LiAsF6/EC+2-eTHF, and 1.5 M LiAsF6/THF+2-MeTHF+2-MeF as promising electrolytes for Li-TiS2 cells. Li-Al and Li-C were selected for further assessment as candidate anode materials after a detailed theoretical and experimental evaluation. Cycling of the cells at low temperature did not result in improving the cycle life of the cells. Charge and discharge voltage limits were found to have significant influence on the cycle life of the cells activated with 1.5 M LiAsF6/THF+2-MeTHF+2-MeF electrolyte. The influence of design variables, such as ratio of electrode capacity, quantity of electrolyte, pack tightness, cell configuration, etc., on the cycle life performance are being examined as a part of the design optimization study. Spiral-wound 1 Ah cells fabricated for the design studies have completed more than 500 cycles at 50% DOD. This paper summarizes the advances made in the Li-TiS2 technology at JPL since 1989.
