Lithium alloying materials are promising candidates to replace the current intercalation-type graphite negative electrode materials in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their high specific capaci...
During the initial lithiation of the negative electrode, as Li ions are incorporated into the active material, the potential of the negative electrode decreases below 1 V (vs. Li/Li +) toward the reference electrode (Li metal), approaching 0 V in the later stages of the process.
Due to the smaller capacity of the pre-lithiated graphite (339 mAh g −1 -LiC 6), its full-cell shows much lower capacity than the case of Li 21 Si 5 (0.2–2 μm) (Fig. 6b), clearly indicating the advantage of the Li-rich Li-Si alloy as a promising lithium-containing negative electrode for next-generation high-energy LIBs.
The limitations in potential for the electroactive material of the negative electrode are less important than in the past thanks to the advent of 5 V electrode materials for the cathode in lithium-cell batteries. However, to maintain cell voltage, a deep study of new electrolyte–solvent combinations is required.
Mainly, the high solubility in aqueous electrolytes of the ZnO produced during cell discharge in the negative electrode favors a poor reproducibility of the electrode surface exposed to the electrolyte with risk of formation of zinc dendrites during charge. In order to avoid this problem, mixing with graphite has favorable effects.
Conventional Li-ion cells use a layered lithium transition metal oxide positive electrode (e.g. LiCoO 2) and a graphite negative electrode. When a Li-ion cell is charged, Li + ions deintercalate from the cathode and simultaneously intercalate into the graphite electrode.
