Correlation between volume change and cell voltage variation with composition for lithium intercalated amorphous

Germà Garcia-Belmonte, Jorge García-Cañadas, Juan Bisquert

    The Journal of Physical Chemistry. B

    Summary

    Lithium intercalation in amorphous Li(x)WO3 films shows thickness-dependent behavior. Thinner films exhibit ideal thermodynamics, while thicker films show voltage deviations due to elastic distortions from volume changes.

    Area of Science:

    • Materials Science
    • Electrochemistry
    • Solid-State Physics

    Background:

    • Investigated host-intercalant interactions in amorphous lithium tungsten oxide (Li(x)WO3) films prepared via electron beam evaporation.
    • Utilized electrochemical experiments on films with varying thicknesses (100-400 nm) to probe intercalation phenomena.

    Discussion:

    • Compared intercalation thermodynamics with models incorporating film volume dilatation.
    • Observed distinct cell voltage behavior in thinnest (100 nm) films, aligning with ideal insertion thermodynamics and showing no detectable deformation.
    • Noted that thicker films exhibit volume changes, leading to cell voltage departures from ideality due to elastic distortions in the host matrix.

    Key Insights:

    • Film thickness significantly influences lithium intercalation behavior in amorphous Li(x)WO3.

  • Ideal intercalation thermodynamics are observed in very thin films (<100 nm) where elastic strain is minimal.
  • Elastic distortions in thicker films contribute to non-ideal electrochemical cell voltage, impacting material performance.

    • Outlook:

    • Further research could explore strain engineering in Li(x)WO3 for optimized electrochemical properties.
    • Investigating other amorphous transition metal oxides for thickness-dependent intercalation effects is warranted.
    • Understanding these thickness-dependent phenomena is crucial for designing advanced energy storage materials.
