Here, we studied ionic transport properties and Li self-diffusion in nanocrystalline Li2O2 by conductivity and temperature variable 7Li NMR spectroscopy. Nanostructured Li2O2, characterized by a mean crystallite size of less than 50 nm as estimated from X-ray diffraction peak broadening, was prepared by high-energy ball milling of microcrystalline lithium peroxide with μm sized crystallites. At room temperature the overall conductivity σ of the microcrystalline reference sample turned out to be very low (3.4 × 10−13 S cm−1) which is in agreement with results from temperature-variable 7Li NMR line shape measurements. Ball-milling, however, leads to an increase of σ by approximately two orders of magnitude (1.1 × 10−10 S cm−1); correspondingly, the activation energy decreases from 0.89 eV to 0.82 eV. The electronic contribution σeon, however, is in the order of 9 × 10−12 S cm−1 which makes less than 10% of the total value. Interestingly, 7Li NMR lines of nano-Li2O2 undergo pronounced heterogeneous motional narrowing which manifests in a two-component line shape emerging with increasing temperatures. Most likely, the enhancement in σ can be traced back to the generation of a spin reservoir with highly mobile Li ions; these are expected to reside in the nearest neighbourhood of defects generated or near the structurally disordered and defect-rich interfacial regions formed during mechanical treatment."}],"status":"public","title":"Short-range Li diffusion vs. long-range ionic conduction in nanocrystalline lithium peroxide Li2O2—the discharge product in lithium-air batteries","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","article_processing_charge":"No","date_updated":"2021-01-12T08:12:53Z","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"date_created":"2020-01-15T12:17:43Z","author":[{"first_name":"A.","last_name":"Dunst","full_name":"Dunst, A."},{"first_name":"V.","last_name":"Epp","full_name":"Epp, V."},{"full_name":"Hanzu, I.","first_name":"I.","last_name":"Hanzu"},{"full_name":"Freunberger, Stefan Alexander","last_name":"Freunberger","id":"A8CA28E6-CE23-11E9-AD2D-EC27E6697425","orcid":"0000-0003-2902-5319","first_name":"Stefan Alexander"},{"last_name":"Wilkening","first_name":"M.","full_name":"Wilkening, M."}],"publication_identifier":{"issn":["1754-5692","1754-5706"]},"intvolume":" 7","doi":"10.1039/c4ee00496e","quality_controlled":"1","_id":"7302","day":"01","year":"2014","issue":"8","page":"2739-2752"}
