GREENLION INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP


This International Workshop was the opportunity for GREENLION

partners to present the results and achievements they obtained so far.

The workshop topics targeted both PhD students/young researchers

and skilled researchers.

More than 60 outside participants attended the workshop: researchers

on Li-Ion batteries from academy, research organizations and industries

around Europe.

The present workshop offered an interesting overview on Li-Ion battery

safety issues, which represent one of the main drawbacks and

bottlenecks in a large-scale development of these kinds of

electrochemical energy storage systems. The presented talks focused

on both scientific/technological aspects (first day workshop) and

industrial issues (second day).

The workshop was a really good opportunity for the relevant actors in

the battery field to meet and to :

- Provide critical discussion and new ideas on future developments.

- Discuss results and analysis of any potential shortfalls highlighted

by stakeholders.

- Interact with other experts and developers on Li-ion materials and

production/manufacturing developments, as well as potential end-

users or stakeholders interested in GREENLION technologies.

During the workshop, speeches were given both from industrial representatives and well-known researchers. The Workshop opened with a presentation of the GREENLION project by the project coordinator Iosu Cendoya from CIDETEC “Advanced manufacturing processes for Low Cost Greener Li-Ion batteries: GREENLION” Iosu Cendoya Cidetec (San Sebastian Spain)

Topics of discussion were : Raw materials composing the base of greener

batteries "Synthesis of Li-ion battery materials from ionic liquids" Prof. Dr. Michel Armand CIC energigune, Miñano, Spain ILs have been used early for the synthesis zeotypes [1] and other porous materials such as Metal Organic Framework compounds (MOFs) [2] that show redox properties, but the IL is used mainly for the bulk of their cations to serve as the templating agent within the galleries of the structures. We have turned our attention to the preparation of the most popular positive electrode materials, based on oxyanions, lithium transition metal phosphates LiTMPO4 and silicates Li2TMSiO4 (where TM = Fe, Mn, Co…). With conventional ceramic routes, the target phase is never seen before 500 - 600°C. With the same precursors, either a heat-labile TM salt (e.g. FeC2O4) and a P + Li source like LiH2PO4, perfectly crystallized LiTMPO4 is produced in 100% yields in 4 - 24 hours at 200 - 270°C, according to FeC2O4 + LiH2PO4 -> CO + CO2 + H2O + LiFePO4. A simple exchange is also possible, as in Li3PO4 + FeSO4 -> LiFePO4 + Li2SO4. All the compounds showed high electrochemical activity, surprisingly high even in the absence of carbon coating for the smallest particles. Silicates require even higher temperatures for the ceramic process, which were smoothly obtained in the same temperature range. The mechanisms for such IL mediated crystal growth will be discussed, but clearly heat-stable ILs like TFSI and triflate salts provide an eco-efficient means of synthesis, without resorting to high-pressure autoclaves. "Novel characterization techniques for Si-based Li-ion anodes" Dr. Shane D. Beattie University of Warwick, Coventry, UK Silicon-based electrodes are widely studied as an alternative to graphite due to their large theoretical capacity (3579 mAh/g vs. 372 mAh/g). However, silicon-based electrodes suffer from low coulombic cycling efficiency and rapid capacity fade. This talk will explore three different characterization techniques to understand why silicon electrodes do not cycle well: i) insitu synchrotron x-ray diffraction, ii) volume expansion, and iii) three electrode cells.

"Modelling, simulation and state estimation of Lithium-Ion Batteries” Stephane Lux Fraunhofer ISE, Freiburg, Germany

In battery operated systems, it is appreciated to inform the user about the remaining operation lifetime of his device or the cruising range of his electric car. For service and maintenance purposes, an information about the remaining lifetime of the battery is useful. There are several methods described in the literature to estimate the state of a battery, which show their pros and cons. Generally there are only a few external parameters to describe the state of a battery. By measuring e current that is flowing through the cell, the voltage and the temperature, the system has to estimate the state of charge (SOC), the state of health (SOH) and, if possible the remaining useful lifetime (RUL). Regarding the application it is not feasible to run time consuming test procedures, it is appreciated to have all the information about the system in real time. Battery Simulation and state estimation are usually done based on battery models describing the battery´s behavior. For those purpose it is possible to use empirical models, electrochemical models or so called impedance models. Empirical models don´t describe the internal processes of the battery cell. Electrochemical models might be able to reflect all the internal processes, but on the other hand they are very time-consuming regarding the simulation. The parameterization process is also very complex and even time-consuming. The parameterization of the impedance based models is done by measurement of the OCV curve and analysis of either pulse measurements or Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). Based on an impedance model, electrical and thermal cell behavior can be simulated. For the state estimation of the battery, methods like Kalman filtering or Monte Carlo-based algorithms like the Kalman Filter show a good match between estimation process and reality for different lithium-ion batteries.

“High power Lithium-ion secondary batteries: an answer from eco-friendly TiO2/graphene composites obtained by water-based synthesis methods" Dr. Silvia Bodoardo Politecnico di Torino, Torino, Italy The attention on TiO2 – especially its crystallographic form anatase – as anode material for Li-ion batteries has recently increased due to its low cost, low environmental impact and intrinsic safety, combined to interesting electrochemical performance. Indeed, anatase presents a relatively high theoretical capacity (335 mA h–1 g–1) close to that of graphite, negligible lattice changes during Li ion insertion/extraction (<4%), and a relatively high Li+ ion insertion/ deinsertion potential (-> 1.5–2.0 V vs. Li+/Li), which makes it intrinsically safer than graphite, so reducing the possibility of Li electroplating[1]. However, its use for high power applications, e.g. in electric vehicles, is hampered by the poor ionic and electronic conductivity: in order to overcome this problem, TiO2 powders can be synthesized with a conductive coating[2-4]. The present contribution focuses on the development of a simple way to prepare several nanosized TiO2 /graphene hybrids by using commercial TiO2 anatase as raw material, aiming for the optimisation of a low cost and easily scalable method. Graphene oxide (GO), synthesized from high purity graphite by the modified Hummer and Staudemaier’s method[5] proposed by Huang et al.[6] , was adsorbed on nanoscale TiO2 anatase powder and successively reduced to the so called Reduced Graphene Oxide (r-GO) in order to restore the electrical conductivity and obtain the desired high conductive composite. Different loading of GO and several ecofriendly reduction strategies (hydrothermal, photocatalytic, chemical and thermal) have been successfully realized and the electrochemical performances of the synthesized hybrids evaluated, with the aim to select the best synthetic conditions. "NanoCrystallineCellulose: versatile reinforcing nanofibers for lithium battery electrolytes" Prof. Dr. Jean-Yves Sanchez LEPMI Grenoble, Grenoble, France In lithium battery, researches in polymeric electrolytes have mainly focused on their ionic conductivity and have, unfortunately, neglected their mechanical performances. This, both for solvent-free polymer electrolytes (SFPE) and for liquid electrolytes embedded in a porous or dense polymeric separator (LEPS). If conductivity is obviously a key parameter to minimize the electrolyte impedance, its mechanical strength is also essential to shape it into thin films, thus decreasing its contribution to the battery internal resistance. The blending of polymer electrolytes by inorganic fillers targeted mainly a conductivity increase; most of them non-reinforcing SFPE. We early claimed the use of NanoCrystallineCellulose (NCC) as reinforcing material. Huge reinforcements of both SFPE and LEPS, preserving high conductivity levels, were characterized . Both reinforcements dealt with poly(oxyethylene) POE matrix reinforced with NCC originating from tunicate whiskers. Recently we used, pre-industrial NCC obtained from wood. Despite a form (aspect) factor lower than the tunicate ones, wood’s NCC induce too high reinforcement of POE but at a slightly higher content. In the frame of AMELIE GREEN CAR project these wood’s NCC were used to reinforce macroporous separators based on PVdF homopolymers. The results of this study evidence the beneficial impact of the PVDF-NCC macroporous membrane with respect to the polypropylene monolayer Celgard®2400 separator on the high C-rate cell performance]. The deep charge-discharge of the cell with PVDF-NCC at C/1 effective rate (a high C rate) provided 101 Wh kg-1 to be compared with 85 Wh kg-1 of the cell with Celgard®2400.

On manufacturing process

“The Development of Na-ion Battery Technology, from Lab-scale to Prototype" Dr. Nikita Hall CEA Grenoble, Grenoble, France New non-lithium technologies need to be developed for a multitude of reasons in order to satisfy the need for energy storage associated to renewable electricity sources, the upcoming generation of electric vehicles, and the substantial increase in portable electronics on the market. Na is a perfect candidate to ease potential issues such as increased cost of Li and Cu and geopolitical problems. For example, in comparison to a mere 20 ppm of Li metal on the earth’s crust (concentrated in few mineral sources), the abundance of Na on the earth’s crust is about 23600 ppm. Furthermore, Na is present in sea water at a high concentration rendering its overall resources unlimited. Therefore, in the framework of the RS2E French Research Network on the Electrochemical Energy Storage, a task force between six academic research groups and the CEA has been established in order to benchmark the Na-ion battery, to demonstrate its performances and competitiveness versus the Li-ion battery. Hard carbon and Na3V2(PO4)2F3 were chosen as the best negative and positive electrode materials, due to their very interesting electrochemical performance previously demonstrated. Commercially available Hard Carbon was used in the prototypes whereas a scale-up step was necessary for the positive electrode material Na3V2(PO4)2F3.The electrolyte used in the prototypes was 1M NaPF6 in EC:DMC (1:1). In order to optimize the electrode materials and electrolytes at the lab scale first, series of syntheses and characterisations were performed, with the final goal to allow a fast scale-up. Finally, the material synthesis has been scaled-up to a 1kg scale, allowing the development of large scale electrode formulation and the assembly of full prototype cells (18 650). Generation 1 of Na-ion prototypes was successfully obtained. Preliminary results have given energy densities up to 70 Wh/kg with very promising cyclability and higher energy densities are envisioned with future development of electrodes and design. The final aim of this project, partly funded by ANR (Agence Nationale de la Recherche, DEFI DESCARTES SODIUM), is to assemble full modules and evaluate them in terms of energy and power density and cost.

Aqueous manufacturing of LFP and NMC electrodes” David Wallenus JSR Micro N.V. leuven Belgium JSR has developed a unique, high performance aqueous binder material for cathode materials. This allows battery production where water based processing is fully integrated completely eliminating the need for toxic solvents such as N-Methyl Pyrrolidon (NMP). We will present JSR‘s process knowledge with LFP and NMC active materials and the specific issues we encountered and overcame to reach high quality, defectless electrodes on a 1L production scale.

“Use of aqueous binders to manufacture industry-relevant composite electrodes for Li-ion battery technology" Dr. Bernard Lestriez Université de Nantes, CNRS, Nantes, France Using environmentally benign binders and solvents has become a new trend for the manufacture of Li-ion electrodes. A water-soluble polymer blend of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) has been used as the binder first for graphite anodes and then for cathodes. Aside from the advantages of a lower cost and lower environmental pollution, the water-based process also seems to provide the benefits of

(i) a lower requirement of binder loading than PVdF, (ii) (ii) no requirement of humidity control during slurry preparation, (iii) and (iii) fast drying of the as-cast electrode sheet.

The introduction of aqueous processing for the electrode preparation is however limited by the stability in water of the used AM. If the AM does not show satisfactory stability in water, during the preparation process its structure could be modified with a negative effect on the performance of the electrode. The aqueous processing brings other challenges:

(i) the necessity to completely remove the moisture from the electrode to prevent the detrimental HF formation from the reaction between LiPF6 and water.

(ii) (ii) The difficulty to master the electrode’s slurry stability which is critical at the industrial scale when large volumes and long casting durations are involved.

(iii) (iii) Aluminum current collector corrosion due to high pH of the slurry.

“Distinctive feature of water based fabrication of electrode for Lithium Ion batteries”. Dr. Alice Hoffmann. Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research (ZSW), Ulm Germany) Water based electrode production is an important step to sustainability and cost reduction of lithium ion technology. But to replace PVdF as a binder compatible with a solvent based electrode paste by CMC and SBR compatible with aqueous pastes, entails several challenges. Furthermore, knowledge obtained in laboratory scale experiments has to be transferred to production scale in order to enable industry to implement it. A main difficulty of water based anode fabrication consists in achieving a good adhesion that allows the electrodes to pass assembling steps like punching, cutting, and winding without being damaged. We worked out an electrode formulation, a dispersion process including intensive mechanical treatment during paste preparation and a moderate drying procedure after coating resulting in electrodes with very strong adhesion and good elasticity. A water based anode was fabricated in pilot scale surpassing the adhesion of conventional anodes processed on solvent base drastically. Pouch cells assembled with this water based anode show excellent cycle life. Furthermore, they exhibit an irreversible capacity loss reduced by 50 % compared to cells with an anode based on organic solvent and produced conventionally. Due to higher active mass content and lower irreversible loss, cells with higher energy density and lower production costs can be produced. The main challenge in water based cathode preparation with layered oxides like NMC, in contrast, is the high pH of the pastes. Water based pastes of NCA or NMC are strongly alkaline with a pH of approximately 11. This leads to corrosion of the collector which was analyzed by laser microscopy. To find a suitable production process, different methods were analyzed with respect to their ability to avoid corrosion.

"Effective Li-Ion Cell Production processes" Prof. Dr. Karl-Heinz Pettinger University of applied Science Landshut, Landshut, Germany In this talk basic principles of cell design and the skills realizing them in running production processes are discussed. Li-Ion cells are produced in different variations (prismatic, cylindrical, softpack, hardcase, ...). All those cell designs are related to few basical assembly principles. The final product design is driven by technical conditions, as well as thermal and mechanical requirements of the materials. To a lesser extent it is affected by the basic cell chemistry. The cells are produced wound or stacked. Cell bodies with wrapped or stacked electrodes are the cell core. These can be single cells, bicells or bipolar electrodes. Each of these models shows its advantages and disadvantages. Production machinery with high throughput is necessary for cost-effective production. The precision of the production process does not only affect the overall yield, but also the behavior of each cell in the event of fault. High throughput rates are often at odds with highly precision, but the combination is really achievable. Process stability and quality are controlled by electrical and optical control steps. Quality aspects are highlighted. Assemblage errors are safety-critical in case of fault of the cells. Production of Lithium cells starting from raw materials requires more than a dozen production steps and sub-assemblies. Low failure rate of each is urgently required to reach suitable overall yields and run production cost effective. "Towards process limitations for electrode manufacturing for Li-Ion batteries" Prof. Dr. Wilhelm Schabel Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Karlsruhe, Germany Battery technologies are known to be key technologies for e-mobilty and stationary applications. There are still many developments needed before cheaper and larger storage systems will be more affordable. On one hand battery manufacturers have to increase the energy density and cycling capability and on the other hand processing costs must decrease in future. To overcome the current limitations and increase production costs, a better understanding of the production processes and limitations are essential. The VDMA presented a Roadmap for goals in production technologies in October 2014. Main goals are increase the production speed of electrode processing, i.e. improving coating and subsequent drying processes in the next decades. In industry, slot die coating is the prevailing coating method, due to its high precision. Coating speed and film quality for industrial applications are limited by several factor that can be expressed in coating windows. Particularly for intermitted coatings the requirements on start and stop edges are the current limitations. In this presentation current state of the art and results far beyond will be presented. It could be shown in experiments that 100 m/min are now possible and could be achieved in the TFT lab with continuous and even with intermitted coatings with a new patented KIT process (09/2914)

And finally on the application of greener batteries and challenges to be addressed :

"Major challenges of next generation Li-ion Batteries in stationary and mobile Applications" Dr. Andreas Gutsch "Benefits and issues associated with life cycle assessments of alternative vehicle powertrains" Walter Sweeting Oxford Brookes University, Oxford, UK Many alternative powertrains are promoted as offering large in-use benefits which can help abate the impacts currently associated with light duty vehicles. However the benefits indicated in many life cycle assessments (LCA) vary considerably and results are rarely clear-cut. Some alternative powertrains incorporate large and differing components, to those utilised in conventional vehicles, which could incur significant impacts during their production and end-of-life phases. These impacts, together with potential in-use reductions, mean the relative importance of phases other than the use, which typically dominates conventional vehicle lifetimes, could substantially increase. The initial research presented uses LCA to provide a high level overview of the relative importance of different phases in a vehicle’s lifetime, for various powertrain and fuel options. The work then focuses on the impacts of lithium-ion electric vehicle batteries and their effects on vehicle assessments. The findings show the importance of whole life assessments when evaluating alternative powertrains. For example one comparison, which assesses the well-to-wheels impacts (i.e. use/fuel production), indicates large relative CO2e benefits for a battery electric vehicle (BEV) when compared with a modern diesel vehicle. However the percentage improvement is shown to be more than halved when the vehicle production impacts are incorporated. Review of existing lithium-ion battery LCAs found large variations in the results, to the extent that they could completely alter the findings of comparisons involving BEVs. The reasoning behind these variations was identified to result from many differences between the data and assumptions used in the battery LCAs. "Advanced Battery Systems for Automotive applications" Dr. Valentina Gentili Johnson Matthey Battery Systems, Dundee, Scotland, UK Johnson Matthey Battery Systems presented an overview of the multi-disciplinary development process for the creation of bespoke, highly optimised, high performance battery solutions including electrochemical and thermal call analysis, advanced mechanical engineering and the use of computational fluid dynamics for development of novel, tailored thermal management systems for performance automotive battery solutions.
