Battery500 Consortium: Development of High-Capacity Cathodes and Robust Solid Electrolytes

The goal off this EERE-BMR-Battery 500 consortium project was to provide the supporting science and to lead the Keystone 1 project. Key findings include: identification of 1st cycle loss of high nickel NMC materials as a major opportunity to increase the capacity of these cathode materials. The selective use of substituents and surface coatings was identified as a potential way of decreasing the 1st cycle loss and in increasing capacity retention. Niobium at around the 1% level was found to be optimum. In addition, operando DSC was utilized to scope out the stability range of electrolytes developed by the Battery 500 team.

Battery500 Consortium: Development of High Capacity Cathodes and Robust Solid Electrolytes

As the world have witnessed the tremendous development in portable electronic devices as well as electric vehicles, the current generation lithium-ion battery is unlikely to satisfy the bourgeon of market and the demand of the customers. A next generation battery, with cell energy density higher than 500 Wh kg -1 , needs to be developed to meet the growth of the industry. With its high theoretical capacity (3,860 mAh g -1 , or 2,061 mAh cm -3 ) and low electrochemical potential (–3.04 V versus the standard hydrogen electrode), lithium metal has been regarded as the ideal candidate for the next generation battery anode. In fact, Lithium metal anode is irreplaceable for Lithium-Sulfur chemistry. However, the continuous formation of inactive Li, which eventually leads the loss of reversible capacity of the cell, has prevented lithium metal to be used as anode in commercial rechargeable cells. The ultimate goal of the project is to propose a pathway to enable Li metal battery for stable cycling at 99.9% of Coulombic efficiency with energy density higher than 500 Wh kg -1 . A variety of advanced characterization tools, electrolyte systems, 3D current collectors and failure analysis methodologies have been developed throughout the project during the past 5 years. The UCSD effort is carried out by the groups of Ping Liu and Shirley Meng.
