چکیده
Protective coatings applied to cathodes help overcome interface stability issues and extend the cycle life of Li-ion batteries. However, within 3D cathode composites it is difficult isolate effect coating because additives non-ideal interfaces. In this study we investigate niobium oxide (NbO x ) as in a thin-film model system, which provides simple access cathode-coating-electrolyte interface. The conformal NbO was by atomic layer deposition (ALD) onto LiCoO 2 cathodes. cathode/coating stacks were annealed lithiate ensure sufficient ionic conductivity. A range different thicknesses investigated improve electrochemical cycling with respect uncoated cathode. At thickness 30 nm, cells retained 80% initial capacity after 493 cycles at 10 C, more than doubling film. Elemental analysis using TOF-SIMS XPS revealed bulk surface contribution coating. These results show that situ lithiated ALD can significantly performance layered enhancing interfacial charge transfer inhibiting degradation cathode, resulting better rate life.

Understanding structural defects in lithium-rich layered oxide cathodes
Planar defects in lithium-rich layered oxides were examined by aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) to understand their formation. Planar defects were found to form during the transition of the transition metal layer from a disordered R 3m state to a lithiumordered C2/m state. This disorder-to-order transition resulted in three orientation variants, namely [100]...

The IR spectra of bulk Nb2O5‚nH2O and niobia supported on SiO2, Al2O3, ZrO2, and TiO2 were recorded in the fundamental and overtone NbdO regions, as well as in the hydroxyl region, to develop a better understanding of the structural models of surface NbOx species. The coincidence of the IR and Raman fundamental NbdO frequency in Nb2O5/Al2O3, Nb2O5/ZrO2, and Nb2O5/TiO2 provides the strongest evi...
متن کاملAlumina and Hafnia ALD Layers for a Niobium-Doped Titanium Oxide Photoanode
Niobium-doped titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles were used as a photoanode in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). They showed a high photocurrent density due to their higher conductivity; however, a low open-circuit voltage was exhibited due to the back-reaction of photogenerated electrons. Atomic layer deposition is a useful technique to form a conformal ultrathin layer of Al2O3 and HfO, whi...
