AI Article Synopsis

  • Researchers created a single-particle electrochemical setup to analyze how individual particles affect overall electrode performance.
  • The study reveals that carbon coating improves the exchange current density (i) of LiNi Mn Co O particles and that both solid-phase diffusion coefficient (D) and i drop significantly when charge voltage increases.
  • The findings suggest that particles with higher i values lead to better capacity and quicker capacity fade in porous electrodes, providing a new method to link particle-level properties to electrode performance.

Article Abstract

Characterizing microscale single particles directly is requested for dissecting the performance-limiting factors at the electrode scale. In this work, we build a single-particle electrochemical setup and develop a physics-based model for extracting the solid-phase diffusion coefficient (D ) and exchange current density (i ) from electrochemical impedance measurements. We find that the carbon coating on the LiNi Mn Co O surface enhances i . In addition, D and i decay irreversibly by ≈25 % and ≈10 %, respectively, when the cutoff charge voltage increases from 4.3 V to 4.4 V. Moreover, we correlate intrinsic parameters of single particles with the performance of porous electrodes. Porous electrodes assembled with active particles with higher i values deliver a greater capacity and faster capacity fade. The methods developed in this combined experimental and theoretical work can be useful in correlating the single-particle scale and porous-electrode scale for other similar systems.
