Abstract
En 中文
Fast and reliable evaluation of degradation and performance of cathode active materials (CAMs) for solid-state batteries (SSBs) is crucial to help better understand these systems and enable the synthesis of well-performing CAMs. However, there is a lack of well-thought-out procedures to reliably evaluate CAMs in SSBs. Current approaches often rely on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) for the evaluation of degradation. Unfortunately, XPS sensitivity is not very high, and minor but relevant degradation products may not be detected and distinguished. Furthermore, degradation caused by the current collector (CC) itself is usually not distinguished from CAM-induced degradation. This study uses a modified CC, which allows us to separate electrochemical degradation caused by the CC from degradation at the CAM itself. Using this CC, we present an approach using time-of-flight secondary ions mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) that offers high sensitivity and reliability. Principal component analysis (PCA) is applied to differentiate secondary ions as well as identify those mass fragments that correlate with degradation products. This approach also enables distinguishing between different pathways of degradation. To evaluate the kinetic performance of the samples, three-electrode rate tests are performed. Electrochemical characterization evaluates the kinetic performance of the samples under investigation. The samples are finally rated with a score that allows a reliable comparison between the different materials and offers a complete picture of the materials ' characteristics in terms of electrochemical performance and degradation.
