Batteries and Fuel Cells

28.2K
A battery is a galvanic cell that is used as a source of electrical power for specific applications. Modern batteries exist in a multitude of forms to accommodate various applications, from tiny button batteries such as those that power wristwatches to the very large batteries used to supply backup energy to municipal power grids. Some batteries are designed for single-use applications and cannot be recharged (primary cells), while others are based on conveniently reversible cell reactions that...

Ionic Bonding and Electron Transfer

43.1K
Ions are atoms or molecules bearing an electrical charge. A cation (a positive ion) forms when a neutral atom loses one or more electrons from its valence shell, and an anion (a negative ion) forms when a neutral atom gains one or more electrons in its valence shell. Compounds composed of ions are called ionic compounds (or salts), and their constituent ions are held together by ionic bonds: electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged cations and anions.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Electrochemistry
  • Computational Chemistry

Background:

  • All-solid-state lithium-metal batteries (ASSLMBs) require solid electrolytes (SEs) with high ionic conductivity and robust interfacial stability.

  • Conducting electrochemical testing, including lithium plating/stripping and prototype battery fabrication.

Main Results:

  • Identification and synthesis of two unique layered halide SEs: Li₂ZrCl₆ and Li₂HfCl₆.
  • Demonstrated exceptional stability of these SEs with lithium metal anodes, achieving 4000 hours of steady cycling.
  • Fabricated ASSLMB prototypes exhibited low interfacial resistance (19.48 Ω cm²), high Coulombic efficiency (∼99.48%), and excellent cycling stability (87% capacity retention over 70 cycles).

Conclusions:

  • Li₂ZrCl₆ and Li₂HfCl₆ are promising solid electrolytes for stable and high-performance all-solid-state lithium-metal batteries.
  • The developed SEs offer a viable solution for overcoming interfacial challenges in lithium-metal batteries without requiring modifications.
