摘要: Systems and methods for a lithium-ion battery cell are disclosed. In one example, a method for forming a cathode for a lithium-ion battery cell includes forming a pre-lithiated cathode with a pre-lithiation reagent and positioning the pre-lithiated cathode in contact with an electrolyte. An electrolyte additive is injected into the electrolyte to form a passivation layer at the pre-lithiated cathode, the passivation layer inhibiting continued decomposition of the pre-lithiation reagent of the pre-lithiated cathode after completion of a formation cycle of the lithium-ion battery cell.

摘要: Methods and systems are provided for forming a cathode pre-lithiation layer for a lithium-ion battery. In one example, a slurry for forming the cathode pre-lithiation layer may include a solvent including a uniform dispersion of a nanoscale cathode pre-lithiation reagent. The slurry may be cast onto a porous cathode active material layer and dried and calendered to form the cathode pre-lithiation layer. In some examples, the slurry may have a viscosity of up to 5000 cP at a shear rate of 100 s−1. In this way, delamination and interfacial impedance between the cathode pre-lithiation layer and the porous cathode active material layer may be reduced relative to a higher viscosity cathode pre-lithiation layer having a larger scale cathode pre-lithiation reagent cast onto a non-porous or low-porosity cathode active material layer.

摘要: Methods and systems are provided for salt-rinse surface doping of electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries. In one example, a method may include dissolving a dopant salt in a solvent to form a dopant salt rinse solution, rinsing an electrode active material with the dopant salt rinse solution to form a coated electrode active material, and heating the coated electrode active material to form a doped electrode active material. In some examples, a surface region of the doped electrode active material may include a uniform distribution of dopants from the dopant salt rinse solution. In this way, the electrode active material may be rinsed and doped via the dopant salt rinse solution in a single-stage process.

摘要: Methods and systems are provided for a cathode material for lithium ion batteries. In one example, the cathode material may include a lithium mixed metal oxide core and a surface coating surrounding the core. Optionally, a passivating layer may continuously surround the surface coating. In some examples, the surface coating or surface layer may include a sacrificial lithium source, a lithium-based active cathode catalyst, or a combination thereof. In other examples, methods are provided for manufacturing the cathode material for use in a lithium ion battery.

摘要: Systems and methods are provided for using electrolytic compositions in lithium ion batteries. In one example, an electrolytic composition may include vinylene carbonate, fluoroethylene carbonate, 1,3-propane sultone, ethylene sulfite, and a conducting salt including no less than 80 mol % of lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide. In this way, a capacity retention of the lithium ion battery may be maintained, such as during high-temperature storage at 100% state of charge.

摘要: A coated cathode material for lithium-ion batteries is disclosed. Methods and systems are further provided for applying a coating to an active cathode material for use in a lithium-ion battery. In one example, the coated cathode material may include a high-nickel content active cathode material, such as lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide or lithium nickel aluminum cobalt oxide, coated with a coating including one or more high energy density active materials, such as lithium vanadium fluorophosphate and/or a lithium iron manganese phosphate compound. In some examples, the high-nickel content active cathode material may include greater than or equal to 60% nickel content.

摘要: Systems and methods are provided for passivating lithium nitride (Li3N) for use in a lithium-ion battery as a cathode pre-lithiation reagent. In one example, the cathode pre-lithiation reagent may include a core particle composed of Li3N, and a passivation coating uniformly disposed on at least a portion of a surface of the core particle. In some examples, the passivation coating may cover a majority of the surface of the core particle or may substantially completely cover the surface of the core particle. The cathode pre-lithiation reagent may further be included in the lithium-ion battery, where the passivation coating may mitigate unwanted side reactions during processing and manufacturing. In this way, Li3N may be successfully and reproducibly utilized as a cathode pre-lithiation reagent, such that initial lithium ion consumption may be compensated and capacity of the lithium-ion battery may be concomitantly increased.
