Lithium-induced conversion reaction in wüstite Fe1-xO studied by 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy
نویسنده
چکیده
Fe1-xO wüstite as negative electrode material for Li-ion batteries has been studied. The aim of this work is to get a better understanding of the insertion mechanism involved during reduction/oxidation processes. Electrochemical tests have been done in Swagelock TM cells and shown a high specific capacity of 800 Ah/kg for the first discharge. X-ray diffraction and 57 Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy provide us valuable information on both local and long range order. Hence, Li reaction with wüstite induces formation of highly divided metallic iron (-Fe and nano-Fe) and Li2O with a small amount of Fe2O3 occurring in a diffusion layer at the surface of the primary particles. Based on the X-ray and Mössbauer spectroscopic analyses, a core-shell model is proposed in order to explain the irreversible capacity of about 1 Li observed at the first cycle. It involves cation diffusion induced by lithium acting as an „electronic pressure‟.

Neutron diffraction measurements have been performed on polycrystalline Fe1−xO swüstited up to 20.3 GPa using a large-volume moissanite anvil cell at room temperature to examine the existence of long-range magnetic ordering in the high-pressure rhombohedral phase of the material. This investigation is crucial for understanding the nature of high-pressure phase transitions in Fe1−xO. Low tempera...

Several Fe-Ce catalysts for FT synthesis were prepared following two different methods: coprecipitation from Fe and Ce nitrate solutions and a physical mixture of pure Fe and Ce oxide precursors. Previously to CO hydrogenation, catalysts were activated in syngas (50 ml/min, H2/CO = 2) at 553 K for 1 h at atmospheric pressure. The iron phases developed after activation pretreatment were identifi...

A zone-axis synchrotron diffraction study of complex and inhomogeneous Fe1−xO thin single crystal under pressure is presented in this letter. Using this method, four phases are observed to coexist in a single crystal of Fe1−xO at 35 GPa in diamond-anvil cells. One phase has cubic symmetry, whereas the other three phases have not been reported previously and can be interpreted as either orthorho...
