Abstract

In situ X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) results are presented for Li\(_2\)FeSiO\(_4\) and Li\(_{2.2}\)Fe\(_{0.9}\)SiO\(_4\), promising cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries. The aims are to establish the valence and local structure of Fe during charge and discharge to understand if the Fe\(^{3+}\)/Fe\(^{4+}\) redox pair can be reached in the current battery design. It is found that the valence state changes between Fe\(^{2+}\) and Fe\(^{3+}\), with no evidence of Fe\(^{4+}\) before the onset of electrolyte degradation. There is a reversible contraction and extension of the Fe–O bond lengths during cycling while the Fe–Si distance remains constant, which underlines the stability of the Li\(_2\)FeSiO\(_4\) material. The same observations apply to Li\(_{2.2}\)Fe\(_{0.9}\)SiO4 cathode material indicating that changing the stoichiometry does not provide any additional structural stability.
