Batteries and Fuel Cells

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 Association01:28

Ionic Association

The ionic association is the association of oppositely charged ions in an electrolyte solution to form ion pairs. Bjerrum defined ion pairs as two oppositely charged ions whose electrostatic attraction exceeds the thermal energy of the system, typically expressed as 2kT. Electrostatic attraction depends on ionic charge, separation distance, and the dielectric constant of the medium. Thermal energy, represented by kT, reflects the tendency of ions to move independently due to molecular motion.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Electrochemistry
  • Solid-State Chemistry

Background:

  • Hybrid solid electrolytes (HSEs) combine inorganic and organic materials for advanced lithium metal batteries.
  • The tortuosity within the polymer phase of HSEs is critical for ion transport and dendrite suppression.
  • Current ceramic fillers in HSEs present challenges in understanding ion hopping and optimizing morphology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate an in-plane aligned ceramic fiber network structure for HSEs using Li6.6La3Zr1.6Ta0.4O12 (Ta-LLZO) fillers.
  • To compare the morphological characteristics of this network structure with conventional LLZO fillers.
  • To evaluate the impact of tortuosity and network alignment on ionic conductivity, dendrite blocking, and cycling stability.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of HSEs with an in-plane aligned Ta-LLZO ceramic fiber network.
  • Computational simulations to analyze tortuosity and ion transport pathways within the polymer phase.
  • Electrochemical testing of symmetric lithium metal cells and full cells with LiFePO4 cathodes.
  • Post-mortem microscopy analysis to confirm dendrite blocking mechanisms.

Main Results:

  • The aligned network structure exhibits high tortuosity, effectively blocking lithium dendrite growth.
  • Achieved ionic conductivity of 0.44 mS cm-1 at 60°C with the aligned network HSE.
  • Demonstrated long cycling lifetime (>1100 h) in symmetric lithium metal cells at 0.1 mA cm-2 and 60°C.
  • The ceramic network HSE showed superior performance in terms of ionic conductivity, low resistance, and cycling life.

Conclusions:

  • The in-plane aligned ceramic fiber network HSE offers a superior morphology for lithium metal batteries.
  • Optimizing filler characteristics, particularly tortuosity and alignment, is key to enhancing HSE performance.
  • This approach facilitates the development of safer and more durable lithium metal battery technologies.
