Batteries and Fuel Cells

27.2K
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...

Entropy and Solvation

7.0K
The process of surrounding a solute with solvent is called solvation. It involves evenly distributing the solute within the solvent. The rule of thumb for determining a solvent for a given compound is that like dissolves like. A good solvent has molecular characteristics similar to those of the compound to be dissolved. For example, polar solutions dissolve polar solutes, and apolar solvents dissolve apolar solutes. A polar solvent is a solvent that has a high dielectric constant (ϵ...

Trends in Lattice Energy: Ion Size and Charge

23.8K
An ionic compound is stable because of the electrostatic attraction between its positive and negative ions. The lattice energy of a compound is a measure of the strength of this attraction. The lattice energy (ΔHlattice) of an ionic compound is defined as the energy required to separate one mole of the solid into its component gaseous ions. For the ionic solid sodium chloride, the lattice energy is the enthalpy change of the process:

Entropy02:39

Entropy

29.1K
Salt particles that have dissolved in water never spontaneously come back together in solution to reform solid particles. Moreover, a gas that has expanded in a vacuum remains dispersed and never spontaneously reassembles. The unidirectional nature of these phenomena is the result of a thermodynamic state function called entropy (S). Entropy is the measure of the extent to which the energy is dispersed throughout a system, or in other words, it is proportional to the degree of disorder of a...

Complexation Equilibria: Factors Influencing Stability of Complexes

348
In complexation reactions, metal cations are the electron pair acceptors, and the ligands are the electron pair donors. The stability of the metal complexes depends primarily on the complexing ability of the central metal ion and the nature of the ligands. Generally, the complexing ability of the metal ion depends on the size and charge of the ion. As the metal ion size increases, the stability of the metal complexes decreases, provided that the valency of the metal ion and the ligands remain...

Third Law of Thermodynamics02:38

Third Law of Thermodynamics

18.5K
A pure, perfectly crystalline solid possessing no kinetic energy (that is, at a temperature of absolute zero, 0 K) may be described by a single microstate, as its purity, perfect crystallinity,and complete lack of motion means there is but one possible location for each identical atom or molecule comprising the crystal (W = 1). According to the Boltzmann equation, the entropy of this system is zero.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Electrochemistry
  • Solid-State Chemistry

Background:

  • The positive electrode|electrolyte interface is critical for all-solid-state Li battery (ASSLB) performance, particularly with garnet-type solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) like Li6.4La3Zr1.4Ta0.6O12 (LLZTO).
  • Existing challenges include a trade-off between achieving good solid-solid contact and maintaining chemical stability, leading to poor interface properties and limited cycle life.
  • Transition metal migration is a known issue in high-entropy rock salt positive electrodes (HE-DRXs) when used with liquid electrolytes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To achieve thermodynamic compatibility and adequate physical contact between HE-DRXs and LLZTO SSEs.
  • To construct a highly stable positive electrode|electrolyte interface for enhanced ASSLB performance.
  • To overcome the limitations of conventional interfaces and mitigate issues like transition metal migration.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized ultrafast high-temperature sintering (UHS) to process HE-DRXs and LLZTO.
  • Investigated the resulting interface properties, including interface resistance and physical contact.
  • Evaluated the electrochemical performance of ASSLBs incorporating the UHS-processed interface at elevated temperatures.

Main Results:

  • Achieved thermodynamic compatibility and adequate physical contact between HE-DRXs and LLZTO via UHS.
  • Constructed a highly stable interface, reducing interface resistance to 31.6 Ω·cm2 at 25°C (a 700-fold reduction compared to LiCoO2|LLZTO).
  • Demonstrated excellent electrochemical performance at 150°C: average specific capacity of 239.7 ± 2 mAh/g at 25 mA/g with 95% capacity retention after 100 cycles.

Conclusions:

  • The UHS strategy effectively creates a stable and low-resistance positive electrode|electrolyte interface in garnet-based ASSLBs.
  • This approach successfully prevents transition metal migration, a common problem in HE-DRXs with liquid electrolytes.
  • The findings suggest a promising pathway for developing high-performance ASSLBs by addressing critical interface challenges.
