Imaging of Cathode Materials  \nThe effect of W on the inner workings of a LiNiO2 Cathode  \nKenan Gnonhoue Dokonon  \nSupervisors: Dr. Sam Booth*, Dr. Steve Price** , Dr. Antony Vamvakeros**  \n*The University of Sheffield,**Finden Ltd  \nAbstract  \nThis project aims to develop data analysis procedures for X-ray diffraction/fluorescence CT (XRD-CT/XRF-CT) data from cathode materials using Python as to quickly and reliably perform data processing to facilitate analysis. The processing steps include:  \n▪ Selecting the optimal algorithm to construct an image of the different components of the battery using the projections obtained from the experiment.  \n▪ Selecting the ideal data clustering technique to segment thereconstructed image into the different components of the battery.  \nThe developed data analysis procedure was then applied to datasets obtained from LNO (LiNiO 2 ) and LNO-W (W doped LNO) based cathode materials charged to 4 .7 V to analyse the effect of W doping on the structural stability of such materials.  \nMotivation  \n▪ Reduce the time spent on data processing.  \n▪ Quickly generate accurate images of the distribution of the different phases in the cathode.  \n▪ Apply the developed data processing procedure to map the distribution of W in LNO cathodes to better understand their structural changes.  \n▪ Deepen our understanding of LNO cathodes as to one-day replace unsustainable LCO (LiCoO 2 ) cathodes.  \nMethods  \n1. A simulated sinogram of the Shepp-Logan image was generated where the effect of Poisson-Noise and reduced number of projections were tested to benchmark the accuracy of each reconstruction algorithm.  \n2. Several clustering algorithms were run on a simulated dataset of XRD-CT and that  \nbest able to deconvolute the signal into the constituent chemical elements was selected.  \n3. Rietveld Refinement was then used as a reference to quantify the performance of the selected clustering algorithm on areal dataset.  \n| NMF for Phase Identification\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Figure 2. NMF clustering applied to the spectral domains of LNO and LNO-W cathode datasets. For each dataset two XRD patterns were fitted; one for the current collector (identified to be Al) and one for the cathode material (identified to be LNO) [2] . | ▪ The intensity of the H2 peak in LNOW is much greater than that in LNO, signalling W inhibits the formation of the detrimental H3 phase which causes high strain [1],[3] .\u003Cbr>▪ The H2 and H3 peaks of the LNO-W spectra superpose, suggesting the\u003Cbr>high c-axis strain reduces upon W doping.\u003Cbr>▪ Hence, by segregating to the surface, W forms an amorphous 􀢃􀢞 􀡸􀢏 􀢟 􀡻 􀢠 phase, leading to a Ni-rich lattice and an increased c-axis [1] . |\n| --- | --- |\n\nNMF for Phase Mapping  \n45 μm  \nFigure 3.
