Calibration-Free Quantitative Analysis of Lithium-Ion Battery (LiB) Electrode Materials Using Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS)

Recent years have seen a surge in the demand for high-performance battery electrode materials for automotive and various electronic device applications. Improving battery performance requires precise knowledge of the structure–composition properties of active electrode materials. To this effect, quantitative and precise estimation of the composition of advanced electrode materials, containing trace amounts of dopants, provide immense value toward developing next-generation high-capacity battery materials. Herein, we demonstrate the application of calibration-free laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) as a powerful analytical tool for rapid and reliable quantitative spectrochemical characterizations of layered Li metal oxide cathodes containing Mo and Cr dopants (<5 atom %). Specifically, we employ the LIBS using an internal calibration methodology to establish the quantitative elemental ratios of major (Ni, Mn, Co) and trace dopant (Cr, Mo) transition metals to bulk Li contents in diverse cathode material samples such as LiNi 0.5 Mn 0.5 O 2 (NM-50/50), LiNi 0.33 Mn 0.33 Co 0.33 O 2 (NMC), LiNi 0.317 Mn 0.317 Co 0.317 Cr 0.05 O 2 (Cr-doped NMC), and LiNi 0.5– x /2 Mn 0.5– x /2 Mo x O 2 ( x = 0.03, 0.04, 0.05) (Mo-doped NM-50/50) that were synthesized via sol–gel routes. The LIBS-estimated elemental compositions are in good agreement with the nominal stoichiometric values. Furthermore, ex situ LIBS characterizations presented here pave the path for future high-efficacy application of calibration-free quantitative LIBS for rapid in situ analyses of elemental composition changes in battery electrode materials under operation that need not resort to off-site analytical techniques requiring cumbersome sample preparations and/or external standards.

UO2 microstructural evolutions induced by Ni, Mo, and W dopants for intentional forensics

The concept of tagging nuclear fuel with a chemical barcode to enable forensics analysis across the nuclear fuel cycle is an area of active investigation, particularly to ensure fabrication viability without disrupting current fuel performance. This study explored the feasibility of using Ni, Mo, and W isotopic double-spikes as dopants in UO2 fuel from the perspective of fuel fabrication. Doped UO2 pellets were produced using conventional fuel fabrication processes, including powder mixing, sieving, pressing, and sintering in a reductive atmosphere. Two composition levels, 100 and 1000 ppm, were evaluated for each dopant element with isotopic double-spike configurations. For the Ni system, additional dopant concentrations of 250 and 500 ppm were produced with nonperturbed isotopic ratios. The results demonstrated that successful incorporation of Ni, Mo, and W double-spikes into UO2 pellets occurred with minimal shift in final density or dopant loss during pellet fabrication. Isotopic analysis confirmed the presence of the double-spike signature even when diluted with natural isotopic material in ratio of 1:5 in the fabrication process. Microstructural examinations revealed different impacts on grain size compared with undoped UO2. This study showed that Ni incorporation up to ∼500 ppm promoted moderate grain growth, whereas the Mo and W systems caused grain size reduction at all concentrations. Changes in the UO2 lattice parameter as a function of composition were detected exclusively for Ni up to 500 ppm, indicating that the Ni solid solution was the main factor for the observed grain growth. Insoluble (Mo and W) or supersaturated (Ni > 500 ppm) conditions produced grain size reduction. The Ni-doped pellets in the solution range resulted in a final microstructure within fuel specifications, demonstrating its potential benefits of employing complex dopant systems for potential nuclear forensic applications.

Assessment of rare earth element fractionation in NIF implosions with radiochemically doped capsules

An ongoing experimental campaign at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) aims to measure neutron induced nuclear reaction cross–sections using radiochemically doped target capsules. Critical to this campaign is the ability to collect a representative sample of the reaction products using Solid Radiochemical Collectors (SRCs) fielded around the NIF chamber. The shot presented in this paper used a doped target capsule with a neopentane gas fill was to investigate the ratio of isotopes collected at three chamber angles. It was found that SRC samples of rare earth elements collected from NIF are representative of the ingoing dopant mix, thereby concluding that fractionation does not occur during a NIF implosion. This validates the doped capsule method for use in measuring neutron induced reaction cross-sections.

Bulk nanocrystalline Al alloys with hierarchical reinforcement structures via grain boundary segregation and complexion formation

Grain size engineering, particularly reducing grain size into the nanocrystalline regime, offers a promising pathway to further improve the strength-to-weight ratio of Al alloys. Unfortunately, the fabrication of nanocrystalline metals often requires non-equilibrium processing routes, which typically limit the specimen size and require large energy budgets. In this study, multiple dopant elements in ternary Al alloys are deliberately selected to enable segregation to the grain boundary region and promote the formation of amorphous complexions. Three different fully dense bulk nanocrystalline Al alloys (Al-Mg-Y, Al-Fe-Y, and Al-Ni-Y) with small grain sizes were successfully fabricated using a simple powder metallurgy approach, with full densification connected directly to the onset of amorphous complexion formation. All the compositions demonstrate densities above 99% with grain sizes <60 nm following consolidation via hot pressing at 585 °C. The very fine grain structure results in excellent mechanical properties, as evidenced by nanoindentation hardness values in the range of 2.2-2.8 GPa. Detailed microstructural characterization verifies the segregation of all dopant species to grain boundaries as well as the formation of amorphous complexions, which suggests their influential role in aiding effective consolidation and endowing thermal stability in the alloys. Moreover, nanorods with a core-shell structure are also observed at the grain boundaries, which likely contribute to the stabilization of the grain structure while also strengthening the materials. Lastly, intermetallic particles with sizes of hundreds of nanometers form in all systems. As a whole, the results presented here demonstrate a general alloy design strategy of segregation and boundary evolution pathway that enables the fabrication of multiple nanocrystalline Al alloys with hierarchical microstructures and improved performance.

Doping liquid argon with xenon in ProtoDUNE Single-Phase: effects on scintillation light

Doping of liquid argon TPCs (LArTPCs) with a small concentration of xenon is a technique for light-shifting and facilitates the detection of the liquid argon scintillation light. In this paper, we present the results of the first doping test ever performed in a kiloton-scale LArTPC. From February to May 2020, we carried out this special run in the single-phase DUNE Far Detector prototype (ProtoDUNE-SP) at CERN, featuring 720 t of total liquid argon mass with 410 t of fiducial mass. A 5.4 ppm nitrogen contamination was present during the xenon doping campaign. The goal of the run was to measure the light and charge response of the detector to the addition of xenon, up to a concentration of 18.8 ppm. The main purpose was to test the possibility for reduction of non-uniformities in light collection, caused by deployment of photon detectors only within the anode planes. Light collection was analysed as a function of the xenon concentration, by using the pre-existing photon detection system (PDS) of ProtoDUNE-SP and an additional smaller set-up installed specifically for this run. In this paper we first summarize our current understanding of the argon-xenon energy transfer process and the impact of the presence of nitrogen in argon with and without xenon dopant. We then describe the key elements of ProtoDUNE-SP and the injection method deployed. Two dedicated photon detectors were able to collect the light produced by xenon and the total light. The ratio of these components was measured to be about 0.65 as 18.8 ppm of xenon were injected. We performed studies of the collection efficiency as a function of the distance between tracks and light detectors, demonstrating enhanced uniformity of response for the anode-mounted PDS. We also show that xenon doping can substantially recover light losses due to contamination of the liquid argon by nitrogen.

Low-temperature and effective ex situ group V doping for efficient polycrystalline CdSeTe solar cells

CdTe solar cell technology is one of the lowest-cost methods of generating electricity in the solar industry, benefiting from fast CdTe absorber deposition, CdCl 2 treatment and Cu doping. However, Cu doping has low photovoltage and issues with instability. Doping group V elements into CdTe is therefore a promising route to address these challenges. Although high-temperature in situ group V doped CdSeTe devices have demonstrated efficiencies exceeding 20%, they face obstacles including post-deposition doping activation processes, short carrier lifetimes and low activation ratios. Here, we demonstrate low-temperature and effective ex situ group V doping for CdSeTe solar cells using group V chlorides. For AsCl 3 doped CdSeTe solar cells, the dopant activation ratio can be 5.88%, hole densities reach >2 × 10 15 cm -3 and carrier lifetime is longer than 20 ns. Thus, ex situ As doped CdSeTe solar cells show open-circuit voltages ~863 mV, compared to the highest open-circuit voltage of 852 mV for Cu doped CdSeTe solar cells.

Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Flowers with Fe and Ni Dual Metal Centers for Effective Electroreduction of Oxygen

Carbon-based nanocomposites have been attracting extensive attention as high-performance catalysts in alkaline media towards the electrochemical reduction of oxygen. Herein, polyacrylonitrile nanoflowers are synthesized via a free-radical polymerization route and used as a structural scaffold and precursor, whereby controlled pyrolysis leads to the ready preparation of carbon nanocomposites (FeNi-NCF) doped with both metal (Fe and Ni) and nonmetal (N) elements. Transmission electron microscopy studies show that the FeNi-NCF composites retain the flower-like morphology, with the metal species atomically dispersed into the flaky carbon petals. Remarkably, despite a similar structure, elemental composition, and total metal content, the FeNi-NCF sample with a high Fe:Ni ratio exhibits an electrocatalytic performance towards oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in alkaline media that is similar to that by commercial Pt/C, likely due to the Ni to Fe electron transfer that promotes the adsorption and eventual reduction of oxygen, as evidenced in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic measurements. Results from this study underline the importance of the electronic properties of metal dopants in the manipulation of the ORR activity of carbon nanocomposites.

Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy and Atom-probe Tomography Data Quantifying Component-Ratios of Multicomponent Nano-Precipitates in Ion-Irradiated Ceria

Samples of ~1 µm films of CeO2 doped with 2 wt% Mo, 1.5 wt% Ru, 0.75 wt% Pd, 0.5 wt% Re and 0.25 wt% Rh grown with pulsed laser deposition were irradiated with I2+ ions (610°C and 730°C, 1016 and 5×1016 I2+/cm2). For selected samples post-irradiation heat treatment was conducted (900°C, 1100°C). The specimens were sectioned with focussed ion beam milling and characterized in a transmission electron microscope with energy dispesive x-ray spectroscopy, and with atom-probe tomography. Energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy was used to obtain elemental maps showing the distribution of dopants in the specimen after exposure. Some of these maps are discussed in detail in our companion article “Formation of multicomponent alloy particles in doped ceria under I2+ ion irradiation and thermal annealing” in the Journal of Nuclear Materials [REF]. Advanced computational analysis could be used to more accurately quantify local compositions. Data is provided for additional regions of interest and one additional irradiation condition. The doped Ceria film that was heat treated at 1100 °C delaminated from the substrate in most places. Samples were extracted from the underside of a delaminated piece and analyzed with atom-probe tomography. The resulting data show Ceria and a Mo-rich particle and demonstrate that this approach is feasable in principle to study local compositions in a sample exposed to such extreme conditions.

Doping Effects on the Ductility of a Lightweight Refractory High-Entropy Alloy: Grain Boundary and Bulk Lattice Aspects

Doping elements in small amounts often segregate to grain boundaries (GBs) in alloys and can significantly impact mechanical properties and performance. Refractory high-entropy alloys (RHEAs) are known for their poor ductility, especially at low temperatures. Promoting GB cohesion through segregation can be an effective approach to mitigate embrittlement. Here, in this study, first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to examine the effects of important interstitial dopants (O, B, C, and N) and substitutional dopants (Cr, Y, La, and Ce) on the Σ5(310) [001] tilt GB of a lightweight RHEA Nb 32.5 Ti 27.5 Mo 22.5 Ta 12.5 Hf 2.5 Zr 2.5 . The DFT calculations reveal that certain dopants, such as B, C, Cr, N, and Y, exhibit favorable GB strengthening effects by improving bonding interactions with the bulk alloy. The impact of doping on the ductility parameter of the bulk lattice, defined as the ratio of surface energy to unstable stacking fault energy for the {110} <111> slip system, was also studied; and the results show that doping reduces the intrinsic ductility of the alloy, decreasing the D-parameter from 2.90 to 2.55, depending on the specific dopant. The present findings provide a foundational understanding at atomic level of the effect of representative dopants on mechanical properties of RHEAs and can be used to guide future alloy design for improved mechanical properties.

Atomic-scale Imaging of PGM-free Catalyst Active Sites by 30 keV 4D-STEM

Platinum group metal (PGM)-free catalysts have attracted a large amount of attention due to their potential for enabling low-cost, commercially viable hydrogen fuel cells and electrolyzers [1]. Degradation of cell performance remains a significant challenge, however, currently limiting implementation of devices that utilize PGM-free materials [2]. Controlling degradation in these materials requires a better understanding of the atomic structure of active sites, thought to be FeN4 structures within a graphitic carbon lattice, which would enable more accurate prediction of the associated degradation pathways. The exact structural arrangement of active sites in these materials is still debated since a range of structures have been computationally predicted and methods to directly validate these models are still needed [1,3-5].While scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) has provided initial glimpses into the nature of the proposed active sites, detailed evaluation of the structure of these sites is challenging since they involve defects, edges, and nitrogen dopants in the graphitic lattice, which are susceptible to beam damage [6,7]. Conventional STEM imaging and spectroscopy methods exacerbate this problem with dose-inefficiency or nonideal contrast characteristics for imaging light and heavy elements simultaneously. A method that minimizes damage while generating dose-efficient, easily-interpretable contrast for both light and heavy elements is therefore needed to facilitate imaging of sensitive active site atomic structure.Here, we demonstrate direct atomic-scale imaging of PGM-free catalyst active sites by low-voltage four-dimensional (4D)-STEM. To accomplish this, we pair a 30 keV aberration-corrected probe, which minimizes knock-on damage, with a fast pixelated detector that has optimal performance at low beam energies [8]. We show how this setup enables relatively simple center-of-mass (CoM) techniques [9,10] to produce images with an increased signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and light-element contrast over conventional imaging modes, allowing the entire active site structure to be imaged at the atomic scale. Moreover, we show how electron ptychography [11,12] enables images with further improved characteristics to be obtained, for example by minimizing residual aberrations, which provides a more accurate structural representation. The increased understanding that these low-voltage 4D-STEM techniques will provide about the atomic structure of PGM-free active sites and their associated degradation pathways will facilitate rational design of next-generation materials, promoting development of low-cost hydrogen fuel cells, electrolyzers, and other energy conversion devices [13].

Nanoscale Compositional Mapping of Commercial LiNi 0.8 Co 0.15 Al 0.05 O 2 Cathodes Using Atom Probe Tomography

Nickel-rich cathodes provide improved specific capacity that lead to higher gravimetric energy density, critical for electric vehicles. However, poor long-term capacity retention at elevated temperatures/high C-rates (the rate of charge and discharge on a battery) stem from material issues: surface phase changes, corrosive side reactions with the electrolyte, ion dissolution and propagation of cracks. Introducing dopants, developing nanoscale surface coatings and graded core-shell structures have all improved the electrochemical performance of nickel-rich cathodes. However, a material level understanding on the effect of Li composition and distribution in Ni-rich cathodes is limited, due to a lack of characterization methods available that can directly image Li at the nanoscale. Hence, it is critical to establish methods such as atom probe tomography (APT), having both nanometer scale spatial resolution and high compositional sensitivity to quantitatively analyze battery cathodes. To fully realize its potential as a method for quantitative compositional analysis of commercial Li-ion batteries, we provide a comprehensive description of the challenges in sample preparation and analyze the dependency of the analysis parameters, specifically laser pulse energy on the measured stoichiometry of elements in a high Ni content cathode material; LiNi 0.8 Co 0.15 Al 0.05 O 2 (NCA). In this work, our findings show the stoichiometry variations cannot be explained by charge state ratios or Ga implantation damage alone during FIB preparation, indicating that additional factors such as crystallographic orientation may need to be considered to achieve quantitative nanoscale compositional analysis of such battery cathodes using APT.

Large-scale cascading of first-order FBG array in a highly multimode coreless fiber using femtosecond laser for distributed thermal sensing

This research focuses on the performance analysis and characterization of a fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) array, consisting of 10 first-order FBGs inscribed by a femtosecond (FS) laser in a highly multimode coreless fiber. The study evaluates the FBG array's ability to function as a distributed thermal sensing (DTS) platform, with the coreless fiber chosen as the sensing element due to its immunity to dopant migration at high temperatures. The design of a large cascaded first-order FBG array effectively eliminates unwanted harmonic peaks across a wide spectrum range. In contrast, higher-order FBGs introduce limitations due to the overlapping of Bragg peaks with harmonics. The FBG array's performance is evaluated by measuring the reflection spectrum of each grating at different temperatures, showing a high temperature sensitivity of 15.05 pm/°C at a Bragg wavelength of 1606.3 nm, with a linear response in the temperature range of 24 - 1100 °C. The FBG array was designed for a spatial resolution of 5 mm. A mode scrambler in the sensing network is employed, which suppresses multimodal interference, characterizes FBG peak visibility, and stabilizes the interference spectrum. The stability of the FBG array is also assessed over 24 hrs at 1100 °C, and it is observed to be stable during thermal treatment. Heat treatment at 1100°C improves the signal to noise ratio of the FBG array, demonstrating the robustness and suitability of the proposed FBG array on highly multimode coreless fiber as a potential sensing platform for DTS applications in harsh environmental conditions, overcoming the issues of dopant migration presented by dopes silica optical fibers at high temperatures.

Oxidation and anion lattice defect signatures of hypostoichiometric lanthanide-doped UO 2

A series of sintered UO 2 pellets doped with lanthanide (Ce, Nd, Yb) elements were investigated using powder X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analyses and differential scanning calorimetry. A combination of electron microprobe and thermogravimetric analyses, for oxygen content, enabled precise determination of the hypostoichiometry for lanthanide-doped samples at 1 and 5 atom percent. Two Raman laser wavelengths (785 and 455 nm) have afforded greater sensitivity to spectroscopic signatures of the phonon bands (1LO and 2LO) associated with oxidation of (U 1-y M y )O 2-x and the anion defects introduced by lanthanide substitution. Oxygen hypostoichiometry forces a reduction in the average coordination number surrounding (U,M) sites, which is compensated by a decrease in U-O bond length, and concomitantly the lattice parameter, consistent with the obtained Raman spectra. The evolution of O/M ratio up to (U 1-y M y )O 2 after oxidation was also examined using Raman spectroscopy, revealing that the ‘defect band’, including a component attributed to oxygen vacancies (~540 cm -1 ) and the 1LO phonon (~575 cm -1 ) increased in intensity with increasing dopant concentration and upon oxidation. Here, the lanthanide dopants inhibited oxidation to U 3 O 8 , most prominently for Yb 5 at%, having been delayed by ~180 °C. Thermogravimetric analyses reveal an early oxidation feature that may be related to influx of O to satisfy hypostoichiometry up to (U 1-y M y )O 2 , possibly stabilizing a U 4 O 9 or U 3 O 7 intermediate, delaying oxidation to U 3 O 8 .

Examples of X-Ray Characterization Techniques in Energy Storage Research

Lithium-ion batteries have revolutionized the portable electronics and transportation sectors. Their performance is often critically dependent on the crystal structures of the anode and cathode electrode materials, which must enable the transport and reversible storage of lithium ions into and out of the lattice. Because lithium is a low-Z element, characterization of materials for lithium-ion batteries can be particularly challenging. Regardless, X-ray techniques enable analysis of material structures to better understand how battery materials perform and degrade, particularly when combined with other materials characterization and electrochemical characterization techniques. While X-ray techniques are most often used in battery research for phase identification of crystal structures, X-ray characterization techniques are also used for a wide variety of other purposes. I will discuss several examples from my research with various collaborators on several projects that highlight the impact that X-ray characterization techniques can have on battery research. The first example will focus on low-temperature microwave-assisted solvothermal synthesis of vanadium-doped LiFePO4 cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries. (1,2) Through a combination of electrochemical and materials characterization, we determined that low temperature synthesis resulted in metastable phases that enabled incorporation of higher dopant levels than resulting from high-temperature synthesis of thermodynamically stable phases. Rietveld refinement of X-ray diffraction data enabled understanding of how lattice parameters changed with doping levels and synthesis temperature. X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy enabled understanding of the vanadium and iron oxidation states to confirm how vacancies in the structure caused by doping were charge compensated. This was important to understand because the literature suggests doping can improve LiFePO4 electrical conductivity, which improves battery charge and discharge rates. The second example will focus on understanding residual strain in lithium metal anodes. Lithium-ion batteries typically use graphite anodes, but the charge-storage capacity can be theoretically improved ~10x by using lithium metal as the anode material instead. However, lithium anodes suffer from growth of high-aspect-ratio features, such as dendrites, that can pierce nanoporous polymer separators and lead to short circuits and fires. External pressure is commonly applied to cells to enable better morphological control. We hypothesized that applied pressure may promote strain and possibly work hardening during electrochemical cycling, which motivated us to look for evidence of residual strain in lithium metal cycled under applied pressure using X-ray diffraction and sin2(..psi..) analysis. We found that lithium electrodeposited under high pressure exhibited in-plane compressive strain and that that lithium electrodeposited under low pressure did not. (3) The residual strain that accompanies electrodeposition under high pressure may lead to work hardening, which may explain how a soft metal like lithium can puncture separators and why higher pressure does not always decrease short circuits.
