Abstract

In this study, lithium ion (Li+) diffusion inside lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2) as a cathode material is investigated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The effect of some important parameters such as voltage, Li+ content, and diffusion axis on Li+ diffusion coefficient value is explored and compared with the experimental data. The results show that Li+ diffusion coefficient in LiCoO2 material is in the order of 10-12 to 10-13 cm2/s, which is in agreement with the experimental data. Increased voltage value and decreased Li+ content raise the Li+ diffusion coefficient. In addition, the comparison of the Li+ diffusion coefficient along different axes of the crystal layer reveals that transporting lithium ions in a direction perpendicular to the layers of cathode material is more difficult than transporting them in a direction parallel to the layers. It can decrease the diffusion coefficient of Li+ by about 20 percent, especially at high voltage value and low Li+ content. But, the diffusion coefficient in both directions has the same order of magnitude, which may explain different values of Li+ diffusion coefficient in various experimental methods. Replacing Co3+ with Fe3+ for increasing the capacity and stability of cathode material may slightly diminish the values of Li+ diffusion coefficient, which is in agreement with the experimental results.
