Batteries and Fuel Cells

26.9K
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...

Electrolysis

25.9K
In a galvanic cell, the electrical work is done by a redox system on its surroundings as electrons produced by the spontaneous redox reactions are transferred through an external circuit. Alternatively, an external circuit does work on a redox system by imposing a voltage sufficient to drive an otherwise nonspontaneous reaction in a process known as electrolysis. For instance, recharging a battery involves the use of an external power source to drive the spontaneous (discharge) cell reaction in...

Molecular and Ionic Solids

16.8K
Crystalline solids are divided into four types: molecular, ionic, metallic, and covalent network based on the type of constituent units and their interparticle interactions.
Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...

Formation of Complex Ions

23.2K
A type of Lewis acid-base chemistry involves the formation of a complex ion (or a coordination complex) comprising a central atom, typically a transition metal cation, surrounded by ions or molecules called ligands. These ligands can be neutral molecules like H2O or NH3, or ions such as CN− or OH−. Often, the ligands act as Lewis bases, donating a pair of electrons to the central atom. These types of Lewis acid-base reactions are examples of a broad subdiscipline called coordination...

Ionic Bonding and Electron Transfer02:48

Ionic Bonding and Electron Transfer

41.1K
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.

Electrolyte and Nonelectrolyte Solutions

62.1K
Substances that undergo either a physical or a chemical change in solution to yield ions that can conduct electricity are called electrolytes. If a substance yields ions in solution, that is, if the compound undergoes 100% dissociation, then the substance is a strong electrolyte. Complete dissociation is indicated by a single forward arrow. For example, water-soluble ionic compounds like sodium chloride dissociate into sodium cations and chloride anions in aqueous solution.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Electrochemistry
  • Energy Storage

Background:

  • Solid-state lithium batteries (SSLBs) offer enhanced safety over conventional liquid electrolyte batteries.
  • Current SSLBs often exhibit lower performance due to limitations in solid electrolyte quality.
  • Ceramic-based composite solid electrolytes (CSEs) are crucial for SSLB development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of dispersion quality in ceramic-based CSEs on solid-state lithium-sulfur battery (SSLSB) performance.
  • To understand the role of Li6.4La3Zr1.4Ta0.6O12 (LLZTO) particle dispersion within a PVDF-HFP matrix.
  • To identify failure mechanisms in SSLSBs related to electrolyte quality and lithium dendrite formation.

Main Methods:

  • Preparation of CSEs with varying Li6.4La3Zr1.4Ta0.6O12 (LLZTO) dispersion qualities in a PVDF-HFP matrix.
  • Assembly of SSLSBs using prepared CSEs and a sulfur cathode.
  • Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and distribution of relaxation times (DRT) analysis.
  • Three-electrode configuration, critical current density testing, in situ optical microscopy, and finite element simulations.

Main Results:

  • Low-quality CSEs with poor LLZTO dispersion resulted in uneven charge transport.
  • Substandard CSEs promoted significant lithium dendrite formation during battery cycling.
  • Uneven charge transport and dendrite growth were identified as primary causes of capacity fade and cell failure.
  • While CSEs can suppress the shuttle effect, lithium dendrite growth remains a critical challenge.

Conclusions:

  • The dispersion quality of ceramic particles in CSEs critically affects SSLSB performance and lifespan.
  • Uniform charge transport and suppression of lithium dendrites are essential for reliable SSLSB operation.
  • Addressing lithium dendrite growth is paramount for advancing solid-state battery technology.
