Abstract

Lithium intercalation compounds are considered suitable materials for electrodes in rechargeable lithium batteries. The knowledge of diffusion rates as well as of mechanistic features related with the mobility of ions in the interlamellar spaces is therefore relevant for the regulation of the properties of this kind of compounds. Nuclear magnetic resonance investigations have played an active role in the study of the dynamic and structural behavior of these solid lithium compounds. For this reason this work is based on NMR spectra recorded between 150K and 400K at 2T. The 1H and Li+ linewidths were measured from the Fourier transform of the FIDs following a &#960/2 excitation. IH decoupling was used, when necessary, to exclude the magnetic dipolar contribution of this nucleus to the 7Li linewidth. The 7Li and 1H spin-lattice relaxation time T1 were measured using the inversion-recovery method. Several dynamic and structural NMR parameters were obtained from these NMR measurements like activation energies, correlation times and diffusion coefficients. (AU)
