Description
SPECIFICATION
A battery and method of making the battery
This invention relates to an electrode apparatus including means for applying a compressive load to the electrode and also to a battery and methods employing such an electrode apparatus.
The number of times that a metal electrode, for example an alkali metal anode (i.e., the negative electrode), of an electrolytic cell (battery) can be repeatedly discharged and recharged usually determines the reversibility of the battery.
Assuming an excess of electrolyte, the reversibility (R) is the number of complete charges and discharges (cycles) obtainable from a cell, and is given by the product of the number of turnovers (T) achievable for the electrode times the ratio (a) of the amount of metal contained in the electrode to the stoichiometric amount of metal required for complete reaction of the opposite electrode (i.e., R=aT). A turnover (T) is defined as one complete stripping (removal) of the metal from the electrode followed by a complete amalgamation (replating) of the metal onto the electrode.In general, this process cannot be repeated indefinitely because corrosion or physical isolation of the metal within the electrode structure renders It progressively more and more difficult to strip. in some cases, the metal becomes inaccessible for stripping and becomes electrochemically inactive. To compensate for the progressive loss of active metal available for stripping, batteries often include more metal in the electrode than is required for complete reaction with the electrolytically active component of the opposite electrode. Thus, the reversibility is generally a function of the method of stripping and replating, the quantity of metal available in the electrode, and the quantity of electrolyte available.
For example, with free-standing (unpressurized) lithium electrodes, a battery has a maximum of between about 1.6-2.5 turnovers, using electrolytes consisting of 1 M LiAsf , or 1 M Lick 04 in propylene carbonate. It would be highly desirable to be able to increase the reversibility of such electrodes and batteries.
It has now been found that in accordance with the present invention a significant increase in the number of turnovers can be achieved for electrodes which form porous, exterior amalgamated deposits thereon. The present invention provides an electrode apparatus comprising an electrode which forms such a porous, exterior, amalgamated deposit thereon, and means for applying a compressive load to the electrode such that the deposit, when formed, is compressed so as to enhance stripping from the outer surface of said amalgamated deposit. The invention also provides a battery comprising a cathode, an anode, an electrolyte, wherein said anode forms such a porous, exterior, amalgamated deposit thereon, and means for applying a compressive load to the anode such that the deposit, when formed, is compressed so as to enhance stripping from the outer surface of said amalgamated deposit.Preferably, the electrode is an alkali metal anode, e.g., a lithium anode. Also, the compressive load is preferably applied continuously at least during recharging.
The present invention further provides a method of making battery and a method for operating a battery to increase its reversibility by increasing the number of turnovers available within an electrode of the cell. The method of making the battery includes the step of constructing an electrolytic cell having a cathode, an anode, and an electrolyte, wherein said anode forms such a porous, exterior, amalgamated deposit thereon. A compressive load is applied to such anode as described above. Again, the electrode is preferably an alkali metal anode, e.g., a lithium anode, and the compressive load is preferably applied to the electrode continuously during both discharging and recharging.
The electrode apparatus, battery and methods of the present invention provide a number of distinct advantages. The application of the compressive load forces the particle or grains of the amalgamated deposit on the electrode closer together. As discussed in more detail below, this can also decrease the electrical resistance between the grains and provide for increased resistance to metal ion migration through the porous deposit from the grains in question. Thus, by the present invention, the stripping of metal from the outer surface of the electrode (i.e., from the front of the deposit) is enhanced.
In one embodiment of the invention, the electrolytic cell (battery) comprises at least one cathode, an alkali metal anode, at least one separator deposed between the anode and cathode, a nonaqueous electrolyte, and a means for applying a compressive load which exceeds the compressive strength of the amalgamated deposit on the anode, i.e., the compressive load is such that it deforms the deposit to push the deposit grains closer together and decrease the porosity of the deposit and decrease the electrical resistance between the grains of the deposit.
Preferably, the load exceeds the compressive strength of the substrate on which the deposit is plated, i.e., the compressive load is sufficient to physically deform the substrate. As modeled, this load enhances stripping of alkali metal from the electrolytic alkali metal grains at the front of the amalgamated deposit (between the anode and the separator) with the result that the reversibility of the battery is increased significantly. Methods of making the battery of this invention are also disclosed.
The present invention provides particularly advantageous results with lithium electrodes. At a critical pressure, above which the lithium electrode will deform, a plating morphology drastically different from that formed at low
pressures is obtained. Plating deposits obtained with lithium at low pressure, as observed under a
scanning electron microscope, are very porous in nature, with grains in the form of loose platelets or thin, jointed broad-like grains. Plating deposits obtained above the critical pressure are substantially nonporous in nature. The grains are regular columns with their axes aligned perpendicular to the surface of the substrate. The columns are close packed with respect to one another, so that the ends of the columns form a nonporous, smooth surface parallel to the substrate surface.This type of deposit can be maintained over many successive dissolution and plating [discharge and charge] cycles. It has been observed in special cases, where the pressure varies across a lithium electrode, that a sharp boundary exists between porous types of deposits and the smooth, columns type of deposit. This shows that the plating morphology is sharply dependent on the pressure near the critical pressure.
In another preferred embodiment, the cathode is one which provides a uniform current density, e.g., a MoS2 cathode and the anode is an alkali metal having an alkali metal substrate interior and an amalgamated deposit exterior comprising electrolytic, alkali metal grains having individual passivation films (preferably formed by replating alkali metal on the anode). In one such preferred embodiment, the cathode is a transition metal chalcogenide containing LixM0S2 and the anode Is lithium. Preferably the Li xMOS2 cathode-active material is pre-conditioned to operating the "Phase II" as described in U.S. Patent No.
4,224,390, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
In order that the invention may be fully understood, it will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a schematic of a battery in accordance with the invention.
Figure 2 is a schematic of a spiral battery in accordance with the invention.
Figure 3 is a schematic of the winding operation for a spiral battery.
Certain electrode materials such as alkali metals, e.g., lithium, are thermodynamically unstable in the presence of metal ion-conducting electrolytes that are liquids at ambient temperature. For example, aqueous electrolytes react violently with alkali metals to form alkali hydroxides and hydrogen gas. Often, this reaction is so violent as to be explosive. Some electrolytes, however, react less violently with electrode metals to form kinetically stable passivation films on the surface of the metal electrode. These latter electrolytes can be used to construct practical cells that use metal electrodes.
For example, after cycling such a metal electrolytic cell, two portions of the electrode are physically isolatable. They are (1) a central, essentially nonporous, metal substrate having a passivation film and (2) a porous, plated, amalgamated deposit of electrolytically active metallic grains, wherein each grain has a passivation film.
Wherever such a metal electrode is exposed to electrolyte, a chemical reaction will begin to occur. The reaction of the electrolyte with the metal creates a passivation film on the surface of the metal. This passivation film is essentially nonporous, although It is ion-permeable. The film tends to isolate the metal grains electrochemically. The desired electrical conductance for the film on the grains balances between increasing the rate of passivation reaction by too high a conductance and decreasing the electrochemical activity of grains through too low a conductance. While a low conductance reduces the rate of reaction of electrolyte and metal, the low conductance increases the stripping of metal from the substrate rather than from within the grains (because of the high contact resistance between grains).
To have a high turnover number (T) and to minimize the surface area of the metal electrode (so that the reaction with the electrolyte to form additional passivated metal is minimized), it is advantageous that stripping of electrolytically active metal preferentially occurs at the front (outside) of the deposit rather than within the deposit or at the surface of the underlying, nonporous substrate. If the front (outside) is not stripped while underlying portions of the substrate are, the front loses physical contact with the rest of the deposit and the substrate. As a result, the front becomes electrochemically inactive. Pressurizing the electrode above the compressive strength of the deposit (I.e., to deform the deposit so as to force the grains of the deposit together) allows the front to be preferentially stripped.
Three factors may contribute to the resistance to stripping of the different portions of the electrode during operation of the battery. These resistance factors are:
(1) the electrical resistance between the grain (of the deposit) in question and the current collector;
(2) the ionic resistance associated with the migration of metal ions through the porous deposit from the grain in question; and
(3) the resistance associated with stripping a metal ion from a grain and transporting that ion through a passivating film.
Respecting factor (1), ordinarily the electrical resistance Is highest for those grains which are nearest the front of the deposit. In fact, it is reasonable to assume that the electrical resistance is essentially zero for grains which lie at the surface of the substrate. Respecting factor (2), the ionic resistance Is highest for the substrate and reduces for grains that lie closer to the front of the deposit. The ionic resistance is lowest at the front of the deposit where the diffusion of the ions to reach active grains is the shortest, and is highest at the substrate to which the diffusion path is the longest. Finally, as to factor (3), the passivating film resistance is controlled by the chemical nature of the passivating film and cannot be substantially altered by changing the physical parameters of the deposit.
By applying a compressive load to the surface of the amalgamated deposit (preferably normal to the deposit) that exceeds the compressive strength of the deposit as explained above, a twofold effect is achieved. First, the porosity of the deposit is decreased by moving grains closer together as the deposit is compressed. Reducing the porosity has the effect of increasing the ionic resistance to stripping more for the substrate than for the front. At the same time, the electrical resistance between grains of the deposit.is reduced because the surface-contact area between adjacent grains increases.The net result of the compression is, then, to increase the sum of the three resistance factors near the substrate and the decrease the sum of these resistances for grains near the front of the deposit and achieves the desired effect of improving the reverslbility of the battery, (The front Is also conveniently identified as the Interface between the electrode and the separator). Thus, the compressive load resulting in a smooth, nonporous surface which provides good elecfromdtive activity for the electrode and allows stripping of the electrode from the outer surface thereof.
The present invention can be employed with any battery employing an electrode which will react with the electrolyte to form an amalgamated, porous deposit on the electrode, especially during recharging. For example, anode materials such as alkali metals, alkaline earth metals and transition metals such as zinc, will form deposits thereon by reaction with certain electrolytes. Thus, alkali metals, e.g., lithium, In the presence of a nonaqueous electrolyte such as propylene carbonate including Lilo4 forms a salt deposit on the alkali metal and on grains of the alkali metal deposited during recharging irepiating).
The compressive load, as explained above, is such that It will deform the deposit by compressing particles or grains of the deposit closer together. Accordingly, the compressive load employed in the present invention varies depending upon the nature of the electrode, the electrolyte and the deposit. A softer metal will require a lower compressive load. For example, the compressive load under which alkali metals deform is typically low and all alkali metals are soft and ductile, e.g., the tensile strength of lithium is in the range of 60-80 psi. Considering that the deposit is a porous metal deposit in which the void spaces are filled with liquid electrolyte, the compressive strength (i.e., force at which the material will deform under pressure) of the deposit is less than or equal to that for the pure metal.
The compressive load does not necessarily have to be applied continuously during charging and discharging. Application of the compressive load to compress the deposit may be, in fact, of short duration, for example, by applying a compressive load for a time during the end of the recharging cycle or even applying the compressive load after recharging and prior to further use. However, the compressive load is preferably applied continuously at least during recharging.
With lithium a compressive loà of from about 50 to about 500 psi is preferably aipplied continuously during recharging. As noted above, such a compressive load on the lithium electrode (e.g., lithium with an appropriate substrate) during recharging results in grains of material being plated thereon having columns with their axes aligned substantially perpendicular to the substrate.
Placing a compressive load on the electrode constrains the materials from which the entire cell is constructed. The cell components are preferably soft and pliable so that the load can be applied uniformly. Use of expanded metal grids for current collectors and hard, gritty powders for electrode-active materials is discouraged. The separator material also should be pliable.
Preferably, metallic foils are used as current collectors, and soft materials, such as graphite or molybdenum sulfide (transition metal chalcogeriide cathode-active cathodes) are used for the cathode. If possible, the cathode supplies a uniform current density to assure uniform use of the substrate. Polypropylene or other suitable flexible, porous or semipermeable separators are preferred.
As shown in Figure 1, the means to apply a compressive load may be a simple coil spring 10 which bears upon a pressure plate 12 stacked atop the battery. Of course, other suitable pressure means may be used. Figure 2 shows a spiral battery wherein an elastic separator and a Cclamp 1 Oa bear radially on the cell to supply the desired load. In both cases, the compressive load of the spring and C-clamp is sufficient to provide the desired decrease in porosity of the deposit and the desired decrease in electrical resistance between grains of the deposit.
Further explaining Figure 1, an electrolytic cell (battery) has an anode 14 (with a corresponding current collector) sandwiched between two cathodes 1 6 (with corresponding current collectors). Electrolyte-saturated separators 18 isolate the anode 14 from the cathodes 16 and carry the electrolyte for the cell in their pores.
The anode, cathodes, and separators form a cell, which is electrochemically active to produce current. The anode is of a composition such that a porous, amalgamated deposit will form thereon as discussed above. Placed in a housing 20, the cell is compressed, as already described. The housing 20 is preferably hermetically sealed In a nonreactive atmosphere.
Directing attention to Figure 3, In making a spiral cell (battery), the elasticity of two separator layers 18-18, one between the anode 14 and cathode 16, and the other on the outside, is relied upon to provide a radial compressive load on the desired electrode, i.e., either the anode 14 or cathode 16, by tight winding of the layers into a coil around a conductor. The tension on the separator layers is maintained by the C-clamp 1 Oa to provide the desired compressive load.
Polypropylene may be used for the layers 1 8- 18.
The following examples are given to illustrate the electrode apparatus, battery and methods of this invention, and should not be interpreted to limit the scope of the invention.
Example 1
An electrolytic cell was constructed between two flat, rigid pressure plates The cathode consisted of a surface-treated mcllybdenite powder which was spread unifr#rrnly on an aluminum-foil substrate, as described in United
States Patent 4,251,606. (This patent is incorporated by reference into this specification.)
The cathode provides a uniform current density for the cell. The molybdenite powder was spread at 10 mg/cm2 on the aluminum foil. The area of the cathode was 5.6 cm2. whe anode was a similar sized sheet of lithium foil of a thickness of about 125 microns sandwiched between two cathodes with microporous polypropylene separators (Celgard 2500 available from the
Celanese Corporation). The electrolyte was 1 M LiAsF6 in propylene carbonate.The propylene carbonate was initially purified to a total impurity content of less than about 100 ppm. The cathode and separators were initially saturated with electrolyte.
The cell was assembled between pressure plates, and a pressure of 27 psi was applied to the cell through the plates. The entire cell was enclosed in a hermetically sealed container filled with argon gas. A glass-to-metal seal was used for the current feed-through for the negative terminal of the electrolytic cell. The cell was conditioned to convert the cathode-active material to "Phase II" LixMoS2, as described in the United States Patent No. 4,224,390. (This patent is incorporated by reference in this specification.) Care was taken to ensure that the electrolyte did not degrade during the conversion process. The cell was cycled (charged and discharged) at a current of 2 mA on both recharge and discharge repeatedly between a lower voltage limit of 1.3 volts on discharge and an upper limit of 2.6 volts on recharge.Cycling continued until the charge capacity of discharge fell to fifty percent (50%) of the charge capacity measured at the end of the tenth cycle. The total amount of charge obtained from cell on discharge integrated over all cycles was calculated to be 210 mAH. Calculated by taking the ratio of this amount of charge as compared to the theoretical charge expected if the entire lithium anode was discharged in one cycle. the number of turnovers (T) for the lithium anode was three.
Example 2
An electrolytic cell similar to the one constructed in Example 1 in all respects, except that the electrodes were subjected to a pressure of 50 psi, was cycled under identical conditions to those described in Example 1. The number of turnovers (T) for the lithium anode in this second cell equaled eight.
Example 3
An electrolytic cell similar to the one constructed in Example 1 in all respects, except that the electrodes were subjected to a pressure of 100 psi, was cycled under identical conditions to those described in Example 1. The number of turnovers (T) for the lithium anode in this third cell equaled nine.
Example 4
An electrolytic cell similar in all details to the cell of Example 1, except that the electrodes were subjected to a pressure of 170 psi, was cycled under identical conditions to those described in
Example 1. The number of turnovers (T) of the lithium anode in this fourth cell equaled eleven.
Example 5
An electrolytic cell similar in all respects to the cell constructed in Example 4, except that the supporting electrolyte used was 0.5 M LICIT, instead of 1 M LiAsF6, was constructed and tested under the same conditions as those of Example 3.
The number of turnovers (T) equaled seven.
Example 5 shows that the application of pressure played at least as important a role in determining the number of turnovers as the choice of the electrolyte in the cell. Although the number of turnovers varies with the choice of the electrolyte, the number of turnovers achievable by applying pressure to the cell is always greater than the number of turnovers possible when running the cell freestanding.
