Correlation between volume change and cell voltage variation with composition for lithium intercalated amorphous films.

چکیده
Interactions between the intercalant and the host have been studied in homogeneous amorphous Li(x)WO3 prepared by electron beam evaporation, using electrochemical experiments with films of different thickness (100-400 nm). We have related the intercalation thermodynamics, described previously by us [Solid State Ionics 2005, 176, 1701] with other models that take into account film volume dilatation along the intercalation. A distinct behavior of cell voltage variation with composition and volume change is observed for the thinnest (100 nm) films: cell voltage follows ideal insertion thermodynamics and no deformation was detected using profilometry techniques. In contrast, thicker films exhibited both volume changes and, correspondingly, cell voltage departs from ideality due to contributions to the chemical potential arising from elastic distortions of the host matrix.

Correlation between optical properties, composition, and deposition parameters in pulsed laser deposited LiNbO3 films
The correlation between the optical properties and composition of lithium niobate films is investigated in films deposited by laser ablation of single-crystal LiNbO3 and Li enriched LiNbO3 sintered targets under different oxygen pressures and laser fluences. The results show that the variation of the film refractive index is in many cases related to the deposition process itself, rather than to...
متن کاملNeutron reflectometry studies on the lithiation of amorphous silicon electrodes in lithium-ion batteries.
Neutron reflectometry is used to study in situ the intercalation of lithium into amorphous silicon electrodes. The experiments are done using a closed three-electrode electrochemical cell setup. As a working electrode, an about 40 nm thick amorphous silicon layer is used that is deposited on a 1 cm thick quartz substrate coated with palladium as a current collector. The counter electrode and th...
متن کاملCapacity fade analysis of a lithium ion cell
A physics-based single particle model was used to simulate the life cycling data of a lithium ion cell. The simulation indicates that there are robably three stages of capacity fade in a lithium ion cell used at low rates. In the first stage, lithium ions are lost to a film formation reaction (e.g. EI formation) and, consequently, the cathode becomes less intercalated during cycling. In the sec...
متن کاملLarge variation of magnetic properties of amorphous Fe–Zr thin films with Ar pressure during sputtering
A large change is observed in the magnetic properties of amorphous Fe-Zr thin films sputtered at different Ar pressures. The change depends on the composition of the alloys and at compositions near 60 at.% Fe, for example, the magnetisation measured at 10 kOe increases 30-fold with an increase in the Ar pressure from 2 to 10 mTorr. The magnetic properties are well explained by a combination of ...
