Hu, Pu published the artcileCapturing the differences between lithiation and sodiation of nanostructured TiS2 electrodes, Application In Synthesis of 143-24-8, the main research area is titanium disulfide nanoparticle electrode lithiation sodiation.
In this study TiS2 is chosen as a model electrode material to investigate the relationship between the electrochem. and mech. performance of layered cathodes for Na-ion batteries. Employing NaFP6 in EC/DMC as the electrolyte allowed for the most promising electrochem. properties recorded in the literature, namely a reversible capacity of 203 mAh g-1 at 0.2 C and 88 mAh g-1 at 10 C with a capacity retention of 92% over 50 cycles. Despite this promising performance the capacity still decayed during long term cycling. In-situ x-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy imaging revealed that TiS2 underwent a large expansion of 17.7% along the c direction and irreversible phase transformations took place during the sodiation/de-sodiation process, which lead to severe mech. strains and intragranular cracks. In comparison, the mech. stability of TiS2 in Li-ion cells was significantly higher. The exptl. results are interpreted within a continuum mechanics model which revealed that the maximum effective von Mises stress that is present at the interface between the ion-intercalated TiS2 and pristine TiS2 is about four times higher during sodiation than lithiation indicating that the electrode is more susceptible to failure/fracture during sodiation.
