Abstract

Abstract:

With the development of lithium (Li) and all-solid-state batteries, high energy-density Li-free/deficient cathode materials have received considerable attention. In this study, well-crystallized micron-size Li-deficient cathode material β-Li_0.3V₂O₅ is synthesized via a one-step high-temperature solid-state reaction with an electronic conductivity of 2.20 × 10^-4 S/cm. This material exhibits good cycling performance. It delivers a specific capacity of 247 mA·h/g when charging/discharging at 0.5 C between 2.2 V and 4.0 V, with a residual specific capacity of 204 mA·h/g after 100 cycles. In addition, β-Li_0.3V₂O₅ shows excellent rate capabilities, i.e., 160 mA·h/g at 10C. Ex situ X-ray diffraction is applied to study phase transformations during the Li insertion/extraction process; five different phases exist in the voltage range of 1.5—4.0 V: β(0<x<0.27) → β′(0.57<x<0.75) → β₁(0.57<x<1.92) → β₂(0.75<x<1.92) → β₃(1.92<x<2.52). The volume undergoes a small change during the cycling

process

a increases by a maximum of 3.1% (β₂) and c increases by a maximum of 4.5% (β₃).

Key words: high energy density, lithium ion batteries, Li deficient cathodes, vanadium oxide bronzes, phase transformations
