In situ X-ray diffraction studies of (de)lithiation mechanism in silicon nanowire anodes.
Silicon is a promising anode material for Li-ion batteries due to its high theoretical specific capacity. From previous work, silicon nanowires (SiNWs) are known to undergo amorphorization during lithiation, and no crystalline Li-Si product has been observed. In this work, we use an X-ray transparent battery cell to perform in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction on SiNWs in real time during elec...

icle as: M.T. McDow hiation/delithiatio Abstract Applying surface coatings to alloying anodes for Li-ion batteries can improve rate capability and cycle life, but it is unclear how this second phase affects mechanical deformation during electrochemical reaction. Here, in-situ transmission electron microscopy is employed to investigate the electrochemical lithiation and delithiation of silicon n...
متن کاملUltrafast electrochemical lithiation of individual Si nanowire anodes.
Using advanced in situ transmission electron microscopy, we show that the addition of a carbon coating combined with heavy doping leads to record-high charging rates in silicon nanowires. The carbon coating and phosphorus doping each resulted in a 2 to 3 orders of magnitude increase in electrical conductivity of the nanowires that, in turn, resulted in a 1 order of magnitude increase in chargin...
متن کاملLithiation of ZnO nanowires studied by in-situ transmission electron microscopy and theoretical analysis
Transition-metal oxides constitute an important family of high-capacity anodes for Li-ion batteries. ZnO is a model material due to the high theoretical capacity and its representative reaction mechanism upon lithiation. We investigate the structural evolution, mechanical degradation, and stress-regulated electrochemical reactions of ZnO nanowires during the first lithiation through coordinated...
متن کاملSelf-limiting lithiation in silicon nanowires.
The rates of charging and discharging in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are critically controlled by the kinetics of Li insertion and extraction in solid-state electrodes. Silicon is being intensively studied as a high-capacity anode material for LIBs. However, the kinetics of Li reaction and diffusion in Si remain unclear. Here we report a combined experimental and theoretical study of the lithi...
