Surface And Structure Engineering For Next Generation Lithium Metal Batteries, Ke Chen Jan 2020

Surface And Structure Engineering For Next Generation Lithium Metal Batteries, Ke Chen

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Lithium (Li) metal has been considered as one of the most promising anode materials to replace conventional graphite for Li-ion battery due to its high theoretical capacity (3860 mAh g-1) and low electrochemical potential (-3.04 V vs standard hydrogen electrode). However, it still faces some problems such as unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), uncontrolled Li dendrites growth, and infinite volume change during battery charging/discharging. To develop a stable and low-cost Li metal anode for next-generation Li metal battery, in this dissertation, we have made efforts to understand and solve these problems in two aspects, by introducing an artificial SEI and …


Lithium-Ion Battery And Beyond: Oxygen Vacancy Creation In Tungsten Trioxide And Surface Modification Of Lithium Metal, Rajesh Pathak Jan 2020

Lithium-Ion Battery And Beyond: Oxygen Vacancy Creation In Tungsten Trioxide And Surface Modification Of Lithium Metal, Rajesh Pathak

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The graphite-based anode material has a low theoretical specific capacity of 371 mAh g-1. The transitional metal oxides (TMOs) are considered a better choice owing to their relatively higher specific capacity. Among TMOs, tungsten trioxide (WO3) is considered promising due to a higher specific capacity of 693 mAh g-1, low cost, mechanically stable, and eco-friendly. It has been a challenge to utilize the TMOs as anode materials as they suffer from poor electronic conductivity and large electrode volume expansion during discharge/charge cycles. In our first project, we demonstrate a unique self-recovery of capacity in reduced WO3 by the incorporation of …
