Description
Lithium ion batteries (LIBs) with a wide range of applications have emerged as the most promising candidate for electrochemical energy storage due to its higher specific energies, volumetric energy densities and power densities. However, lithium dendrite will grow and the Coulombic efficiency (CE) will decrease with Li plating and stripping. During past decades, more and more state-of-art materials has been developed to alleviate the abovementioned problems. Nevertheless, fundamental research on the component composition and the effect of additive and solvent on LIBs is still lacking. It is of great value to get a deeper understanding and therefore optimize the fabrication process for future studies on the electrode/electrolyte interface of LIBs. In this project, we select LiNi0.33Mn0.33Co0.33O2 as cathode material to find out the effect of different solvents and extra lithium salt (LiTFSI) on the performance of LIBs. The Li/cathode cells are assembled to observe the battery performance and grazing incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering (GIWAXS) is used to detect structure change within the cathode before and after cycling.
