They undergo (de) alloying processes with Li and exhibit much higher theoretical capacities, germanium (1623mAh/g) and tin (993mAh/g), compared with graphite (375mAh/g). Recently, germanium has been considered as a promising anode material for next generation LIBs due to its high capacity, fast lithium diffusion, and high electronic conductivity. Here, the (de) lithiation mechanism of micron-sized and nano-sized Ge anodes has been investigated with X-ray diffraction (XRD), pair distribution function (PDF) analysis, and in/ex situ high-resolution 7Li solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), utilizing the structural information and spectroscopic fingerprints obtained by characterizing a series of relevant LixGey model compounds. The lithiation process of micron-sized Ge anodes involves the formation of the Li7Ge3 phase initially through a two\u2013phase reaction process. Li7Ge3 converts to Li7Ge2 via a series of highly disordered phases, all of these phases contain columns of Li, Ge-Ge, and Ge, with the relative proportions varying as lithiation proceeds. Eventually, Li7Ge2-like short-tomeduim range environments are observed. At this point, the nucleation and growth to form crystalline Li15Ge4 occurs. Upon delithiation, a reverse conversion process occurs and finally formed amorphous Ge at the end of charge. Tin is also another promising anode material due to its high capacity and compatibility with other elements. Here, relevant LixSny model compounds (with nominal compositions Li2Sn5, LiSn, Li7Sn3, Li7Sn2, and Li22Sn5) were synthesized and characterized by XRD, 7Li/119Sn solidstate NMR and PDF analysis to assist with the identification and structural determination of the LixSny phases that form during electrochemical lithiation. These results provide insights into LixGey and LixSny phases transformation during cycling and will guide the further development of Li-alloy based anode materials for battery applications."},{"label":"dcterms.available","value":"2017-09-20T16:51:51Z"},{"label":"dcterms.contributor","value":"Khalifah, Peter"},{"label":"dcterms.creator","value":"Jung, Hyeyoung"},{"label":"dcterms.dateAccepted","value":"2017-09-20T16:51:51Z"},{"label":"dcterms.dateSubmitted","value":"2017-09-20T16:51:51Z"},{"label":"dcterms.description","value":"Department of Chemistry."},{"label":"dcterms.extent","value":"184 pg."},{"label":"dcterms.format","value":"Monograph"},{"label":"dcterms.identifier","value":"http://hdl.handle.net/11401/77073"},{"label":"dcterms.issued","value":"2015-05-01"},{"label":"dcterms.language","value":"en_US"},{"label":"dcterms.provenance","value":"Made available in DSpace on 2017-09-20T16:51:51Z (GMT).
