Abstract

The electrochemical reaction mechanism of lithium (Li)-ion with Bi 2 Se 3 anode material in all solid-state lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has been successfully established in this work. Firstly, commercial bulk Bi 2 Se 3 was directly used as anode in LIB and then hydrothermally synthesized Bi 2 Se 3 nanostructures were used as anode material in order to improve the electrochemical performance of the battery. The structure of obtained nanostructures was characterized using powder x-ray diffraction, which verified the formation of Bi 2 Se 3 phase. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy studies confirmed the existence of mixed morphology, i.e., nanoparticles and nanosheets, with the diameter of nanoparticles in the range of 20–150 nm and the thickness of nanosheets, about 5–30 nm. Furthermore, electrochemical measurements indicated the initial discharge and charge capacity of bulk Bi 2 Se 3 as 621 mAhg−1 and 499 mAhg−1 respectively, which was slightly higher than the Bi 2 Se 3 nanostructures (discharge and charge capacities: 594 mAhg−1 and 468 mAhg−1). However, the nanostructures showed better cycling stability up to 50 cycles as compared to the bulk, which shed light on a new way to improve the lithium storage properties of the Bi 2 Se 3. We proposed the detailed electrochemical Li -storage mechanism in all solid state battery with bismuth selenide (Bi 2 Se 3) based composite material as high performance negative electrode for Li- ion battery using LiBH 4 as the solid state electrolyte reveals a high capacity and better cyclic stability with a high coulombic efficiency (∼97–98%). Image 1 • Detailed electrochemical mechanism of Bi 2 Se 3 anode is established. • LiBH4 is implemented as solid electrolyte with this anode material first time. • A highly stable performance with initial capacity of >600 mAhg−1 could be achieved.
