| Research Abstract |
The present research project has aimed development of new materials for the lithium-ion secondary battery, which is applicable to electric vehicles, based on two novel techniques, one being the citrate precursor method for material preparation and the other a microelectrode technique for electrochemical characterization of powdered battery materials.
(1) Under collaboration, Yamagata group obtained lithium nickelate and spinel-related lithium manganese oxides with good cyclability by the modified citrate method, which enabled us to prepare systematically the multi-components oxides with micro-level tailoring and atomic-level homogeneity.
(2) Tohoku group has developed microelectrode techniques which are very versatile in electrochemical characterization and rapid searching tailored samples even in a small quantity of micro-meter size particles. In-situ observation of particle splitting due to the mechanical instability accompanied by the insertion/extraction of lithium ions, high potential (〜5V) voltammetry to examine the electrochemical stability of the particle in organic solutions, determination of diffusion coefficients of lithium ions in the solid phase by AC and potential step method, and in-situ Raman spectroscopy and in-situ conductivity measurements during insertion of lithium ions with micro-array electrode technique also have been carried. Data thus obtained were feedbacked to the partners and effectively utilized in further R&D.
