The structure, chemistry, and spatial distribution of Mn-bearing nanoparticles dissolved from the Li1.05Mn2O4 cathode during accelerated electrochemical cycling tests at 55 °C and deposited within the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) are directly characterized through HRTEM imaging and XPS. Here we use air protection and vacuum transfer systems to transport cycled electrodes for imaging and analytical characterization. From HRTEM imaging, we find that a band of individual metallic Mn nanoparticles forms locally at the SEI/graphite interface while the internal and outermost layer of the SEI contains a mixture of LiF and MnF2 nanoparticles, which is confirmed with XPS. Based on our experimental findings we propose a new interpretation of how Mn is reduced from the cathode and how metallic Mn and Mn-bearing nanoparticles form within the SEI during electrochemical cycling.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
