Abstract:
In situ Raman spectroscopy is an extremely valuable technique for investigating fundamental reactions that occur inside lithium rechargeable batteries. However, specialized in situ Raman spectroelectrochemical cells must be constructed to perform these experiments. These cells are often quite different from the cells used in normal electrochemical investigations. More importantly, the number of cells is usually limited by construction costs; thus, routine usage of in situ Raman spectroscopy is hampered for most laboratories. This paper describes a modification to industrially available coin cells that facilitates routine in situ Raman spectroelectrochemical measurements of lithium batteries. To test this strategy, in situ Raman spectroelectrochemical measurements are performed on Li//V2O5 cells. Various phases of LixV2O5 could be identified in the modified coin cells with Raman spectroscopy, and the electrochemical cycling performance between in situ and unmodified cells is nearly identical.Keywords: IN SITU RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY; LITHIUM BATTERIES; ELECTRODES; V2O5; COIN CELLS
