Design of Energy Conversion and Storage Devices


The performance of a well-designed Li-air battery with a Li |organic liquid electrolyte| LIGC | aqueous electrolytes| Pt catalytic electrode structure was studied. It was found that the discharge voltage increased with lower concentrations of LiOH in the aqueous electrolyte due to the higher oxygen solubility in lower alkaline concentrations. Hence, by using weak (=0.05 M LiOH) instead of strong alkaline solutions, the Li-air battery displayed discharge and charge voltages of 3.53 V and 4.19 V, respectively, at 0.05 mA cm-2, resulting in an 84% voltage efficiency. The addition of LiClO4 into the aqueous solution further improved the voltage efficiency to 85% with 3.32 V at the discharge and 3.90 V at the charge by reducing the internal resistance of the cell. The use of LiClO4 also alleviated the pH increase caused by a fast or long-term discharge of the cell.

This study focuses on preparing a hybrid electrolyte, the combination of 90 wt% inorganic solid and 10 wt% organic liquid, for lithium based rechargeable batteries to illustrate the effect of electrode/ electrolyte interfacing on electrochemical performance. The inorganic solid electrolyte selected is Li1.3Ti1.7Al0.3(PO4)3, and the Li-ion conducting organic liquid electrolyte selected is 1 M LiPF6 in EC:DEC. Because of the addition of Li-ion conducting liquid between the solid electrode and solid electrolyte, the hybrid electrolyte cell minimizes the ineffective solid-on-solid interfaces common in all-solid-state cells. It is also expected that using a liquid electrolyte at the point of contact between the solid electrolyte and the electrode will adjust for the volume change of the electrode during Li insertion/extraction. As a result, the electrochemical performance of the hybrid electrolyte cell is superior to that of a solid electrolyte cell and is also competitive to that of a pure liquid electrolyte coin cell. Another advantage of the hybrid electrolyte cell observed in this work is that this system behaves as a self-safety device when sudden, higher temperatures are applied.

Lithium - Aqueous Rechargeable Battery


We report a demonstration of the feasibility of a battery having a thin, solid alkali-ion electrolyte separating a water-soluble redox couple or active nanoparticle slurry as cathode and lithium or sodium in a non-aqueous electrolyte as anode. The cell operates without a catalyst and has high storage efficiency. The possibility of a flow-through mode for the cathode allows for flexibility of cell design for safe, large-capacity electrical-energy storage at an acceptable cost.

Novel Anode and Cathode Materials for Li-ion Batteries


Important is an increase in the density of the stored energy, which is the product of the voltage and capacity of reversible Li insertion/extraction into/from the electrodes. It will be difficult to design a better anode than carbon, but carbon requires formation of an SEI layer, which involves an irreversible capacity loss. The design of a cathode composed of environmentally benign, low-cost materials that has its electrochemical potential mC well-matched to the HOMO of the electrolyte and allows access to two Li atoms per transition-metal cation would increase the energy density, but it is a daunting challenge. Two redox couples can be accessed where the cation redox couples are "pinned" at the top of the O-2p bands, but to take advantage of this possibility, it must be realized in a framework structure that can accept more than one Li atom per transition-metal cation. Moreover, such a situation represents an intrinsic voltage limit of the cathode, and matching this limit to the HOMO of the electrolyte requires the ability to tune the intrinsic voltage limit.

Harvesting and Recycling of Lithium Metal


Schematic diagram of a Li-liquid battery system that uses waste battery materials and water as both electrodes. Li metal can be harvested electrochemically from a waste Li-ion battery containing Li-ion source materials from the battery's anode, cathode, and electrolyte. The harvested Li metal in the battery system can be discharged to produce electricity by using water as the cathode. With further development of other technologies including the solid electrolyte and overall system design, this concept of the battery system could possibly be used as a stationary energy storage device. If the system is charged from renewable energy sources, the renewable energy sources are stored by this formation of Li metal in the system.

Fast Li-ion Conductivity in Glass and Glass Ceramics

The study of the ionic conductivities in oxide doped chalcogenaide glasses have shown the anomalous result that the ionic conductivity actually increases significantly (by more than a factor of 10 in some cases) by the initial addition of an oxide phase to a pure sulfide glass. After this initial sharp increase, the conductivity then monotonically decreases with further oxide addition.

Synthesis of New Inorganic Materials

A new thiophosphate, LiTi2(PS4)3, exhibits a 3D framework structure built of TiS6 octatehedra linked by edges to PS4 tetrahedra, leading to the formation of wide tunnels along the c-axis. As a lithium insertion host, about 7 Li per formula unit can be inserted in the framework structure, but such a large capacity gradually decays with cycling.

A new lithium gallium germanium sulfide, Li2Ga2GeS6, is built of GaS4 tetrahedra sharing corners with GeS4 tetrahedra to exhibit a 3D framework forming tunnels along the c-axis. As an infrared NLO material, it shows a high SHG efficiency with a high laser damage threshold compared to typical infrared NLO materials such as AgGaS2 and AgGaGeS4.

A new thioborate ZnxBa2B2S5+x (x ~ 0.2) consisting of isolated (BS3)3- structural unit exhibits strong second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency ~50 times larger than that of a-SiO2. It is transparent from the visible (~350 nm) to mid-infrared (~10,000 nm), and then is a large improvement over typical infrared materials such as AgGaS2.

The thioborate phase Ba7(BS3)4S crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c ( no 15) with a = 10.1750(15) Å, b = 23.970(4) Å, c = 10.1692(15) Å. The structure consists of isolated trigonal planar (BS3)3- anions, and isolated S2- anions and Ba2+ cations. The vibrational modes of the isolated (BS3)3- units were measured from Raman scattering and IR absorption spectra and the frequencies agree very well with those found for similar orthothioborate phases.

Dr. Kim will broaden his positive environmental impact by educating future scientists, engineers, and other professionals about the field of energy engineering. Dr. Kim will take a three-pronged approach to educate this next generation of professionals.

The first prong is teaching energy engineering courses, one at the undergraduate level and one at the graduate level.

The second prong is teaching and mentoring students through engaging research and design projects as part of IUPUI's existing Multidisciplinary Undergraduate Research Institute (MURI) program, Energy Club, ASME, and the Mechanical Engineering Department's senior capstone design course.

The third prong is (a) providing diverse learning opportunities to students of all majors that are a part of IUPUI's Energy Club by providing club members with design projects, company tours, guest speaker presentations, and presentation ideas and guidance for the club's outreach to Indianapolis high schools and (b) providing one-hour energy-related seminars to high school teachers participating in IUPUI Nanotechnology Discovery Academy (INDA) and to prospective students of energy engineering with an emphasis on female high school students participating in IUPUI's POWER camp.

As Dr. Kim implements each prong, students will learn about his most recent research developments as they relate to course and research concepts. Through this three-pronged approach, his education plan exposes and educates high school, undergraduate, and graduate students in the field of energy engineering.
