Lithium diffusion is a key factor in determining the charge/discharge rate of Li-ion batteries. Herein, we study the tracer diffusion coefficient (D*) of lithium ions in the c-axis oriented LiCoO2 thin film using secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). We applied a step-isotope-exchange method to determine D* in the Li-extracted LixCoO2. The observed values of D* ranged from 2 × 10−12 to 3 × 10−17 cm2 s−1 depending on the compositions in the range of 0.4 < x < 1.0. Approaching the stoichiometric composition (x = 1.0), D* decreases steeply to the minimum, which can be explained by the vacancy diffusion mechanism. Electrochemically determined diffusion coefficients corrected by thermodynamic factors are found to be in good agreement with D* determined by our method, over a wide range of compositions. The c-axis diffusion was explained by the migration of Li+ ions from one layer to another through additional diffusion channels, such as antiphase boundaries and a pair of Li antisite and oxygen vacancies in cobalt oxide layers.

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.
