Abstract
Potentiostatic intermittent titration technique (PITT) was applied to FeF2, FeF3, and FeO0.67F1.33 to gain insight into the transport-related aspects of the conversion reaction by quantitative analysis of Li(+) diffusion and hysteresis. PITT derived diffusion coefficient measurements were benchmarked relative to values extracted by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). A reverse-step PITT methodology was used to evaluate true hysteresis by eliminating nucleation induced overpotentials. This method evaluates the minimum potential hysteresis and allowed an accurate representation of the potential required to move conversion reactions forward at C/1000 rates in both lithiation and delithiation. The high resolution PITT data were also used to gain further insight into reaction mechanisms involved in the reversible conversion reactions. Physical evidence, based on pair distribution function (PDF) structural analysis, and electrochemical evidence are presented regarding a new step in the reaction during the rutile FeF2 reconversion reaction.
