Aberration corrected STEM and High Resolution EELS study Investigating Magnesium Intercalation in Vanadium Pentoxide Cathode

چکیده
Magnesium ion based batteries hold promise as a competitive alternative to conventional Lithium ion battery technology due to several key features. Theoretical volumetric capacity for magnesium metal anode is much higher compared to lithium metal. Furthermore, Mg is more readily available compared to Li, which can potentially lead to cost reduction and switching to Mg offers safety benefits over Li as well. Orthorhombic V2O5 is a well-known intercalation cathode host for Mg-ion batteries owing to its characteristic layered structure and weak vanadium oxygen bonding that facilitates ion intercalation between the layers.

In Situ Deposition and Ultrahigh Vacuum STMÕAFM Study of V2O5 ÕLi3PO4 Interface in a Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery
A thin-film solid-state battery was prepared with a vanadium pentoxide cathode and a lithium phosphate electrolyte and studied in situ by ultrahigh vacuum scanning tunneling microscope/atomic force microscopy ~STM/AFM!. Orientation of the ~001! plane of V2O5 parallel to the substrate was detected via observation of the periodicity of 11.7 6 0.5 Å, which is consistent with the unit cell spacing ...

Using single crystal V2O5 as a sample, we tested the performance of the new aberration corrected GATAN spectrometer on a monochromatised 200 kV FEG FEI (S)TEM. The obtained V L and O K ELNES were compared with that obtained in a common GATAN GIF and that in the new spectrometer, without monochromatised beam. The performance of the new instrumentation is impressive: recorded with an energy-resol...
