March 12Th CONTENT Issue 05, February 27th – March 12th CONTENT Introduction During the first two weeks of March we saw important alliances 1between car manufacturers for the development and supply of Batteries electric vehicles. Daimler AG will cooperate with BYD in China and Vehicles and Mitsubishi Motors will work with PSA Peugeot – Citroen in Europe. These announcements represent an important step BYD and Daimler will develop an for electrifying transportation; however going forward requires Electric Vehicle for the Chinese market many issues that still need to be solved. As a society we have Celgard announced expansion of assumed that it is “possible” to replace (in some way) oil for production capacity in Korea electricity, but the question is if we have figured out where and Misubishi Motors and PSA Peugeot how we could obtain this electricity. Once this issue is solved (at Citroen reached final agreement a “reasonable” price and in an environmental friendly way), Sanyo will supply a lithium ion battery the next step is the efficient distribution of this electricity. We system for traffic signals in Japan have seen some companies that are developing interesting business models, but we are far from a mass implementation. LG Chemical will build Volt battery Summarizing, the question that arises is: are we (as a society) plant in Michigan prepared for electrifying transportation? Regarding lithium, a key raw material for batteries used in electric vehicles, it is important to highlight that most of the projects that have been announced in the last years are in an early stage of development. Anyway, the trend is clear: in less than three years around 20 new Companies have announced more than 40 new lithium projects. The point here is to identify and size the real supply of lithium that would come from these “new players”. This Lithium Industry is a key element for the analysis regarding lithium availability. As we pointed out in our previous report, the problem with the Canada Lithium showed new resource scarcity of a natural resource is not related with the existence of estimation physical amounts of resources, but whether the society is willing to pay the price to extract and use them. Canadian Orebodies would acquire 80% interest in Zigzag lithium property In May we will launch our singumBOX Analysis “Lithium, Batteries Orocobre reported sampling results at and Vehicles: Perspectives & Trends”. The report will be delivered its Salinas Grandes project quarterly and will collect the most relevant events of the first quarter, with a deep analysis of these industries and with medium Rodinia Minerals indicated sample results and long-term forecasts and trends.

  • Advanced Research on Lithium-Sulfur Batteries: Studies of Lithium Polysulfides
    Advanced research on Lithium-Sulfur batteries: studies of lithium polysulfides. by Pierre-Etienne Cabelguen A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Science in Chemistry Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2013 © Pierre-Etienne Cabelguen 2013 AUTHOR’S DECLARATION I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. Pierre-Etienne Cabelguen ii ABSTRACT Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery is a popular system investigated since the 1970s, but it has not reached mass commercialization yet due to its poor capacity retention over extended cycling. This thesis was devised as a fundamental study of the Li-S system by the use of 7Li Magic Angle Spinning (MAS) Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), X-ray Absorption Near-Edge Structure (XANES), and Non-Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering (NRIXS). The first part of this thesis is dedicated to the synthesis of solid state linear chain polysulfides in order to use them as reference compounds in the following experiments. Lithium polysulfides are synthesized via the chemical reduction of α-S8 by lithium triethylborohydride. 7 Li NMR shows that Li2S and Li2S6 exhibit single but different Li environments, while the others stoichiometry targeted consist of a mixture of them. This is the first report of a stable solid-phase intermediate between elemental sulfur (α-S8) and Li2S. The second part of this thesis is based on operando XANES measurements made in the Argonne Photon Source (APS).

  • Scalable Synthesis of Lithium Sulfide Nanocrystals for Next Generation Battery Technologies
    SCALABLE SYNTHESIS OF LITHIUM SULFIDE NANOCRYSTALS FOR NEXT GENERATION BATTERY TECHNOLOGIES by Yangzhi Zhao A thesis submitted to the Faculty and the Board of Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Materials Science) Golden, Colorado Date: Signed: Yangzhi Zhao Signed: Dr. Coiln A. Wolden Thesis Advisor Signed: Dr. Yongan Yang Thesis Advisor Golden, Colorado Date: Signed: Dr. Eric Toberer Professor and HeaD Materials Science Program ii ABSTRACT Batteries play extremely important roles in electricity storage systems. Managing the temporal nature of ever increasing renewable power generation requires next generation batteries with larger power and energy density, safer operation, and lower costs. Lithium sulfide (Li2S) nanocrystals (NCs) are critical materials used to make soliD-state electrolytes and cathodes for emerging battery technologies. Li2S is typically produced by high temperature carbothermal reduction that creates powders, which then require extensive ball milling to produce the nano-sized materials desirable for battery applications. We have recently developed a solution-based synthesis of Li2S by contacting metalorganic solutions with hydrogen sulfide at ambient temperature. This green chemistry proceeds with an atom economy approaching unity with additional benefits that include complete abatement of H2S and recovery of the valuable H2 stored within. Previous work in the group employed an approach where the NCs were directly precipitated out of solution. However, several challenges remain. The resulting NCs were relatively large (>100 nm), limiting their electrochemical activity, and Li2S recovery was only ~85%. In this thesis I developed a modified approach in which Li2S remains fully dissolved in solution, with NCs being recovered in a subsequent evaporation step.
