Reversible chemical delithiation/lithiation of LiFePO4: towards a redox flow lithium-ion battery.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reversible chemical delithiation/lithiation of LiFePO(4) was successfully demonstrated using ferrocene derivatives, based on which a novel energy storage system--the redox flow lithium-ion battery (RFLB), was devised by integrating the operation flexibility of a redox flow battery and high energy density of a lithium-ion battery. Distinct from the recent semi-solid lithium rechargeable flow battery, the energy storage materials of RFLB stored in separate energy tanks remain stationary upon operation, giving us a fresh perspective on building large-scale energy storage systems with higher energy density and improved safety.

Reduction-oxidation (redox) reactions are the key processes that underlie the batteries powering smartphones, laptops, and electric cars. A redox process involves transfer of electrons between two species. For example, in a lithium-ion battery, current is generated when conduction electrons from the lithium anode are transferred to the redox orbitals of the cathode material. The ability to visu...
متن کاملReactive Flow in Large-deformation Electrodes of Lithium-ion Batteries
An electrode in a lithium-ion battery may undergo inelastic processes of two types: flow and reaction. Flow changes the shape of the electrode, preserves its composition and volume, and is driven by the deviatoric stress — a process similar to the plastic flow of a metal. By contrast, reaction changes the composition and volume of the electrode, and is driven by a combination of the mean stress...

The rapid insertion and extraction of Li ions from a cathode material is imperative for the functioning of a Li-ion battery. In many cathode materials such as LiCoO2, lithiation proceeds through solid-solution formation, whereas in other materials such as LiFePO4 lithiation/delithiation is accompanied by a phase transition between Li-rich and Li-poor phases. We demonstrate using scanning transm...
متن کاملInvestigating Charge Compensation in Li (1-x) FePO4
In its application as a cathode material for Li-ion batteries, LiFePO4 shows good thermal stability, high theoretical energy density and low production costs. However, wider application of this material is still limited by poor transport of the charge carriers and poor Li ion transport within the LiFePO4 lattice [1]. This has lead to concerted research efforts how the electronic structure of Li...
متن کاملCooperation behavior between heterogeneous cations in hybrid batteries.
A cooperative behavior of Zn(2+) and Li(+) to conduct charges in a Zn-LiFePO4 battery is disclosed. When Li(+) dissolves into the electrolyte, Zn(2+) would deposit, and vice versa. In light of this cooperative behavior, the battery can be viewed as a super hybrid system, which combines the strong points of Zn-air battery, lithium-ion battery and redox-flow cell.
