To make supercapattery devices feasible, there is an urgent need to find electrode materials that exhibit a hybrid mechanism of energy storage. Herein, we provide a first report on the capability of lithium manganese sulfates to be used as supercapattery materials at elevated temperatures. Two compositions are studied: monoclinic LiMn(SO) and orthorhombic LiMn(SO), which are prepared by a freeze-drying method followed by heat treatment at 500 °C. The electrochemical performance of sulfate electrodes is evaluated in lithium-ion cells using two types of electrolytes: conventional carbonate-based electrolytes and ionic liquid IL ones. The electrochemical measurements are carried out in the temperature range of 20-60 °C. The stability of sulfate electrodes after cycling is monitored by Raman spectroscopy and XRD and TEM analysis. It is found that sulfate salts store Li by a hybrid mechanism that depends on the kind of electrolyte used and the recording temperature. LiMn(SO) outperforms LiMn(SO) and displays excellent electrochemical properties at elevated temperatures: at 60 °C, the energy density reaches 280 Wh/kg at a power density of 11,000 W/kg. During cell cycling, there is a transformation of the Li-rich salt, LiMn(SO), into a defective Li-poor one, LiMn(SO), which appears to be responsible for the improved storage properties. The data reveals that LiMn(SO) is a prospective candidate for supercapacitor electrode materials at elevated temperatures.
为了使超级电容电池装置可行,迫切需要找到具有混合储能机制的电极材料。在此,我们首次报道了硫酸锂锰在高温下用作超级电容电池材料的能力。研究了两种成分:单斜晶系的LiMn(SO)和正交晶系的LiMn(SO),它们通过冷冻干燥法制备,然后在500℃下进行热处理。使用两种类型的电解质在锂离子电池中评估硫酸盐电极的电化学性能:传统的碳酸盐基电解质和离子液体IL电解质。电化学测量在20 - 60℃的温度范围内进行。通过拉曼光谱、XRD和TEM分析监测循环后硫酸盐电极的稳定性。发现硫酸盐盐通过一种混合机制储存锂,该机制取决于所使用的电解质种类和记录温度。LiMn(SO)优于LiMn(SO),并在高温下表现出优异的电化学性能:在60℃时,功率密度为11,000 W/kg时能量密度达到280 Wh/kg。在电池循环过程中,富锂盐LiMn(SO)会转变为贫锂缺陷盐LiMn(SO),这似乎是储存性能改善的原因。数据表明LiMn(SO)是高温下超级电容器电极材料的潜在候选者。
