Ab initio methods have started to be widely used in materials science for the prediction of properties of metals, alloys and compounds. These methods basically require only the atomic numbers of the constituent species. Such methods not only provide us with predictions of some of the properties of the material (even before synthesizing it) but also help us in understanding the phenomena that control those properties. The use of ab initio methods in the field of electrochemistry is, however, quite recent and rare. In this study, we demonstrate how ab initio methods can be used to investigate the properties of secondary lithium batteries. Particular examples will be given in predicting average insertion voltages in spinel Li-Mn and Li-Co oxides and in layered LiMO2 (M = Ti, V, Mn, Fe, Co and Al) compounds. Additionally, the stability of these compounds to metal reduction and structural stability of LiCoO2 upon lithium removal is investigated. We find that the oxygen anion plays an active role in the electrochemical intercalation of lithium. The amount of electron transfer to oxygen occurring upon lithium intercalation correlates strongly with the cell voltages. The more electron transfer to oxygen occurs, the higher lithium intercalation potential is obtained.

Development and characterization of high power density cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries Doğu, Şafak; Aydınol, Mehmet Kadri; Evis, Zafer; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2015) In this thesis, facile and cost efficient aqua based synthesis method is developed to synthesize power dense and fast rechargeable LiFePO4 cathode materials. In order to obtain nano sized crystal morphology, nucleation controlled techniques were studied on precursor synthesis. These techniques are freeze (cryogenic) drying with co-precipitation and ultrasound assisted sub-sequential precipitation with vacuum drying at low temperatures (<350 K). In co-precipitation with freeze drying synthesis, star-like pla...
Production of inorganic charge selective layers for mesoscopic perovskite solar cells İçli, Kerem Çağatay; Özenbaş, Ahmet Macit; Akata Kurç, Burcu; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2017) In this work, nanoparticles of lithium doped nickel oxide (NiO) were synthesized by common wet chemistry methods like precipitation, ultrasonic spray pyrolysis and flame spray pyrolysis methods. Synthesized nanoparticles were employed in fully metal oxide mesoscopic perovskite based solar cells. Lithium doping of NiO was achieved by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis method and flame spray pyrolysis methods. Flame spray pyrolysis method was used to synthesize yttrium doped titanium dioxide (TiO2) and magnesium oxid...
Development and characterization of high energy cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries Büyükburç, Atıl; Aydınol, Mehmet Kadri; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2013) The aim of this thesis is to produce high energy cathode materials based on LiCoO2 materials with the general formula LiCo1-xMxO2 and LiCo1-y-xMxNyO2. In order to achieve this formula, less exploited doping elements such as Mo, Cr and W will be used as well as Mn. During the study, the parameters of the processes which are solution preparation, freeze drying and calcination are optimized. According to the results, 24 hours of freeze drying is enough for drying the samples. Calcination at lower (< 700°C) tem...
Designing of Ti-Mg composites for various applications Bütev Öcal, Ezgi; Dericioğlu, Arcan F.; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2019) In this study, galvanic corrosion of Ti-Mg based composites has been examined by combining different Mg-alloys with Ti6Al4V alloy and by addition of Na-rich layer between two dissimilar metals. After determining the wetting behavior of liquid unalloyed Mg, AZ91, and WE43 alloys on solid Ti6Al4V alloy, three different composites were manufactured via infiltration of liquid Mg/Mg-alloys into porous Ti6Al4V alloy skeletons. The same procedure was also repeated after coating the porous surfaces of Ti6Al4V alloy...
First-principles prediction of insertion potentials in Li-Mn oxides for secondary Li batteries Aydınol, Mehmet Kadri (The Electrochemical Society, 1997-11-01) First-principles methods have started to be widely used in materials science for the prediction of propel-ties of metals, alloys, and compounds. In this study, we demonstrate how first-principles methods can be used to predict the average open-circuit voltage that can be obtained from a lithium battery with spinel or layered manganese oxides used as the cathode. For this purpose we combine a basic thermodynamical model with the ab initio pseudopotential method. The good agreement between the computed and ex...
