Outline of Final Research Achievements

We clarified the tracer diffusion coefficient of Li-ion battery cathode materials by using isotope ion exchange methods and SIMS analysis. These methods were applied to LiCoO2 and LiMn2O4 thin films. The compositional dependence of the diffusion coefficients indicates that the vacancy diffusion mechanism is dominant in these cathode materials. The LiCoO2 films exhibited Li diffusion along the c-axis, which suggest diffusion kinetics through the grain boundaries and the antiphase boundaries. The isotope profiles provided information on diffusion coefficients and surface exchange rates. An analysis based on the theory of mixed conductors was performed to compare the electrochemical measurements. The thermodynamic factor strongly amplified the chemical diffusion coefficients.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

正極材料中のリチウム拡散はLiイオン電池の出力を決める重要な因子である。しかし、従来の電気化学測定法では、界面交換と拡散の問題が分離できず、バラバラの値が報告されていた。本研究で開発したトレーサー拡散測定法では、界面交換と拡散を分離して計測することができ、正確で信頼性の高い拡散係数を決定することができる。これらの研究は高速で充放電可能なLiイオン電池の開発につながり、エネルギー資源の高効率な利用に貢献するものである。
