Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Electrochemistry
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Conversion reaction materials offer high specific capacity for Li ion batteries.
  • Poor reversibility due to insulating products and volume changes limits their use in secondary batteries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To fabricate and protect 3D conversion electrodes using atomic layer deposition.
  • To investigate the effect of a lithium phosphorus oxynitride (LiPON) protection layer on electrode cyclability and stability.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of core double-shell MWCNT@RuO2@LiPON electrodes via atomic layer deposition.
  • Protection of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) coated with RuO2 using conformal LiPON thin films.
  • Evaluation of electrode performance, including cycling stability, reversibility, and overpotentials.

Main Results:

  • The LiPON protection layer significantly enhances the cyclability of conversion electrodes.
  • LiPON improves Li ion conductivity and maintains electronic connectivity during cycling.
  • Protected electrodes exhibit superior cycling stability, reversibility, and reduced overpotentials compared to unprotected ones.
  • LiPON protection minimizes solid electrolyte interphase formation at low potentials.

Conclusions:

  • LiPON protection is effective in overcoming the limitations of conversion electrode materials.
  • The enhanced performance is attributed to improved interfacial ion transport and mechanical stabilization.
  • This approach offers a viable strategy for developing stable and reversible high-capacity conversion electrodes for Li ion batteries.
