Nanomechanics of Li-ion battery materials
This document deals with the research that the author, Hugues-Yanis Amanieu, carried out between 2012 and 2015 in order to obtain the academic grade of Doctor of Engineer- ing (Dr.-Ing.) delivered by the University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany. The present work was included in two larger projects: Nanomotion, funded by the European Commission through a Marie-Curie actions program, and ReLiOn, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. The goal of the former is to design new nanoscale characterization techniques to study electrochemical systems. The latter has for objective to better understand mechanical reliability of battery materials. The work described in this manuscript consequently had for objective to develop new characterization techniques in order to obtain material parameters which are fundamental to numerical simulations allowing a better understanding of mechanical failure in active particles of lithium-ion batteries. In part I, there is a description of the functioning of lithium-ion batteries (LiB) and of the state-of-the-art of the most important characterization techniques. As explained in section 1.1, LiB is an electrochemical system where two electrodes exchange ions within the system and electrons in an external circuit. These electrodes contain active particles where lithium can reversibly intercalate. The ions are extracted and reintroduced repeatedly which can lead to mechanical failure of the particles (see section 1.2). In fact the speed of ions in the host material controls the gradient of ionic concentration upon cycling. This gradient provokes tensile and compressive stresses. The former can reach a critical value where fracture or disordering occurs. This process depends on some key material parameters, namely the elastic modulus E, the fracture toughness K C , and the diffusion coefficient D Li . The material of study is spinel lithium manganese(III,IV) oxide (LiMn 2 O 4 ), which is described in section 1.3. Instrumented indentation testing (IIT), or ...
