제목 Neutron Diffraction Studies on Layered Cathode Materials for Li Rechargeable Batteries
초록 The key issue to the success of electric vehicles lies in the advancement of cathode materials for Li rechargeable batteries (LRBs). Layered transition metal oxide materials composed of Ni, Co, and Mn, known as LiNixCoyMn1−x−yO2 (NCM) materials, have been successfully commercialized owing to their high energy density. However, increasing energy density of NCM materials by increasing Ni contents generally accompanies the capacity decay and undesirable safety problems during charge and discharge, which are closely related to the structural stability of the electrode materials.1,2 To develop better layered cathode materials, monitoring the crystal structure of electrode materials and structural evolution at various conditions (e.g. temperature, state of charge, etc.) is a critical issue these days.3
Neutron diffraction techniques have been widely used to investigate the crystal structure of electrode materials for LRBs on the merit of the direct interaction of neutrons with the atomic nucleus, which enable us to investigate a detailed structure of electrode materials containing light elements, such as Li, Na, and O.4 Furthermore, a quantitative discussion on neighborhood elements in the periodic table such as Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni are comparably easy, which is difficult with an X-ray.  
In this presentation, we will demonstrate recent neutron diffraction studies on layered cathode materials for Li rechargeable batteries. Also, recent neutron scattering research trends on LRBs will be briefly introduced.
