基于第二代高温超导带材的高载流超导导体研究进展王银顺【摘要】由于其高临界电流密度以及优越的机械性能和电磁特性,第二代高温超导带材(也叫涂层导体)在高温低场的电力传输和低温高场下的磁体应用具有广阔的应用前景.在电力传输的低场应用中,高温超导导体在低电压大容量场合需要几千安培甚至上万安培的传输电流.在大型高场磁体应用方面,为了避免由于过高电感在磁体失超和快速关断过程中的感应高压问题,大载流容量、高电流密度高温超导导体在运行于4.2K及以下温度的大型高场超导磁体方面具有很好的应用前景.近年来,基于第二代高温超导带材,国际上相继提出了几种高载流容量的高温超导导体,本文介绍几种高温超导导体的结构及研发现状和进展,并对其结构、性能和工艺进行简单的比较和评述.%The second-generation high-temperature superconductors (HTS) tapes,so called REBCO coated conductor (CC),are attractive for power transmission at liquid nitrogen temperature and high-field application at low temperatures because of their high critical current density and the excellent mechanical performance as well as electro-magnetic characteristics.For the former application,high-current cables or conductors made from HTS tapes with capacity of tens kA up to more than 100kA are desirable.In the latter application,high-current HTS conductors are essential for larger high-field magnets operated at 4.2K or lower to avoid high inductances which would cause high-voltage breakdown in case of quench or fast shutdown.In recent years,several prototypes of HTS conductors,consisting of 2G HTS tapes,were successively proposed internationally.This paper presents an overview of such configurations aswell as their progress and status,and briefly reviews their geometrical structure and performance as well as processing technology.【期刊名称】《电工电能新技术》【年(卷),期】2017(036)011【总页数】15页(P21-35)【关键词】第二代高温超导带材;电缆;涂层导体;导体;股线;管内电缆导体;卢瑟福电缆【作者】王银顺【作者单位】新能源电力系统国家重点实验室,华北电力大学,北京102206;高压与电磁兼容北京市重点实验室,华北电力大学,北京102206【正文语种】中文【中图分类】TM26在过去二十几年中,实用高温超导材料的研究取得了很大进展。

研究表明,在X射线激发下,Ba2LuNbO6∶Tb3+的发射光谱主要由Tb3+的特征发射组成,其中最强发射峰位于545 nm处。
X射线发射(RL)强度随Tb3+浓度的增加逐渐增大,当x = 0.1时发射强度达到最大值。
此外,X射线辐照5 min后的热释光(TL)曲线显示该样品存在位于T1(377 K)和T2(460 K)的两个陷阱。
其陷阱深度分别为0.754 eV和0.920 eV,这表明该材料具有潜在的X射线信息存储性能。
因此,我们可通过加热或者980 nm激光二极管激发,有效诱导读出存储在深陷阱中的载流子,实现高亮度光激励发光(PSL)和热刺激发光(TSL)。
基于此,由Ba2LuNbO6∶Tb3+与聚二甲基硅氧烷(PDMS)所制备的柔性闪烁体薄膜,在低X射线剂量辐照下表现出优异的X射线成像分辨率(12.5 lp/mm)以及延时成像特性。
以上结果表明,所制备的Ba2LuNbO6∶0.1Tb3+在X射线探测和X射线信息存储方面具有潜在的应用前景。

All rights reserved.1.IntroductionThanks to its high theoretical Coulombic capacity (170mAh g −1)and environmental friendliness,LiFePO 4olivine became a desir-able cathodic material of Li-ion batteries [1,2],competitive to other commercially used cathodic materials (LiMnO 4,LiCoO 2).As evidenced in non-aqueous electrolyte solutions,a small vol-ume change (6.81%)that accompanies the phase transition LiFePO 4 FePO 4enables Li +ion insertion/deinsertion reactions to be quite reversible [1–3].The problem of low rate capability,caused by low electronic conductivity [4,5],was shown to be solv-able to some extent by reduction of mean particle size [6].Further improvements in both conductivity and electrochemical perform-ances were achieved by forming composite LiFePO 4/C,where in situ produced carbon served as an electronically conducting con-stituent [5,7–27].Ordinarily,both in situ formed carbon and carbon black additive,became unavoidable constituent of the LiFePO 4-based electrode materials [28–37].Zhao et al.[27]reported that Fe 2P may arise as an undesirable product during the synthesis of LiFePO 4/C composite under reducing conditions,however,other authors found later that this compound may contribute positively∗Corresponding author at:University of Belgrade,Faculty of Physical Chemistry,P.O.Box 137,Studentski trg 12-16,11158Belgrade,Serbia.Tel.:+381112187133;fax:+381112187133.E-mail address:slavko@ffh.bg.ac.rs (S.Mentus).1ISE member.to the electronic conductivity and improve the electrochemical per-formance of the composite [28–30].Severe improvement in rate capability and capacity retention was achieved by partial replace-ment of iron by metals supervalent relative to lithium [31–37].Thus one may conclude that the main aspects of practical applica-bility of LiFePO 4in Li-ion batteries with organic electrolytes were successively resolved.After the pioneering studies by Li and Dahn [38,39],recharge-able Li-ion batteries with aqueous electrolytes (ARLB)attracted considerable attention [40–50].The first versions of ARLB’s,suf-fered of very low Coulombic utilization and significantly more pronounced capacity fade relative to the batteries with organic electrolyte,regardless on the type of electrode materials [43].For the first time,LiFePO 4was considered as a cathode material in ARLB’s by Manickam et al.in 2006[44].He et al.[46],in an aqueous 0.5M Li 2SO 4solution,found that LiFePO 4displayed both a surprisingly high initial capacity of 140mAh g −1at a rate 1C and recognizable voltage plateau at a rate as high as 20C,which was superior relative to the other electrode materials in ARLB’s.Recently,the same authors reported a high capacity decay in aer-ated electrolyte solution,amounting to 37%after only 10cycles [48].In the same study,they demonstrated qualitatively by a brief cyclovoltammetric test,that a carbon layer deposited from a vapor phase over LiFePO 4particles,suppressed the capacity fade [48].Inspired by the recent discoveries about excellent rate capa-bility [46]but short cycle life [48]of LiFePO 4in aerated aqueous solution,we attempted to prolong the cycle life by means of protecting carbon layer over the LiFePO 4particles.Therefore we0013-4686/$–see front matter © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

Before than dissolved,LiClO4was dried over night at140◦C under vacuum.The aqueous electrolyte solution was saturated LiNO3solution.The cyclic voltammetry and complex impedance experiments were carried out only for aqueous electrolyte solutions,by means of the device Gamry PCI4/300Potentiostat/Galvanostat.The three electrode cell consisted of a working electrode,a wide platinum foil as a counter electrode,and a saturated calomel electrode(SCE) as a reference one.The experiments were carried out in air atmo-sphere.The impedance was measured in open-circuit conditions, at various stages of charging and discharging,within the frequency range10−2−105Hz,with7points per decade.Galvanostatic charging/discharging experiments were carried out in a two-electrode arrangement,by means of the battery testing device Arbin BT-2042,with two-terminal connectors only.In the galvanostatic tests in non-aqueous solution,working electrode was a2×2cm2platinum foil carrying2.3mg of compos-ite electrode material(1.5mg of olivine),while counter electrode was a2×2cm2lithium foil.The cell was assembled in an argon-filled glove box and cycled galvanostatically within a voltage range 2.1–4.2V.The galvanostatic tests in the aqueous electrolyte solution were carried out in a two-electrode arrangement,involving3mg of cathodic material,as a working electrode,and VO2in a multi-ple stoichiometric excess,as a counter electrode.According to its reversible potential of lithiation/delithiation reaction[55],VO2per-formed as an anode in this cell.The4cm2stainless steel plates were used as the current collectors for both positive and negative electrode.The cell was assembled in room atmosphere,and cycled within the voltage window between0.01and1.4V.3.Result and discussion3.1.The XRD,SEM and TG analysis of the LiFePO4/C compositeFig.1shows the XRD patterns of the composite LiFePO4/C pre-pared according to the procedure described in the Experimental Section.As visible,the diffractogram agrees completely with the one of pure LiFePO4olivine,found in the JCPDS card No.725-19. The narrow diffraction lines indicate complete crystallization and relatively large particle dimensions.On the basis of absence of diffraction lines of carbon,we may conclude that the carbonized product was amorphous one.Fig.2shows the SEM images of the LiFePO4/C composite at two different magnifications.Theflaky agglomerates,Fig.2left,with apparently smooth surface and low tap density,are

visible better at higher magnification,Fig.2,ly at the magnification of 100,000×,one may see that the size of majority of composite particles was in the range 50–100nm.The mean particle diameter,2r,as per SEM microphotograph amounted to 75nm.This analysis evidences that the gel-combustion method may provide nanodisprsed particles,desirable from the point of view of rate capability.For instance,Fey et al.[16]demonstrated that particle size reduction from 476to 205nm improved the rate capa-bility of LiFePO 4/C composite in organic electrolyte,illustrated by the increase of discharge capacity from 80mAh g −1to 140mAh g −1at discharging rate 1C.Also,carbon matrix prevented particles from agglomeration providing narrow size distribution,contrary to often used solid state reaction method of synthesis,when sintering of ini-tially nanometer sized particles caused the appearance of micron sized agglomerates [22].The SEM microphotograph (Fig.2)alone did not permit to rec-ognize carbon constituent of the LiFePO 4/C composite.However,carbonized product was evidenced,and its content measured,by means of thermogravimetry,as described elsewhere [9].The dia-gram of simultaneous thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA)of the LiFePO 4/C composite performed in air is presented in Fig.3.The process of moisture release,causing a slight mass loss of 1%,terminated at 150◦C.In the temperature range 350–500◦C carbon combustion took place,visible as a drop of the TG curve and an accompanying exothermic peak of the DTA curve.However,the early stage of olivine oxidation merged to some extent with the late stage of carbon combustion,and therefore,the minimum of the TG curve,appearing at nearly 500◦C,was not so low as to enable to read directly the carbon content.Fortunately,as proven by XRD analysis,the oxidation of LiFePO 4at tempera-ture exceeding 600◦C,yielded only Li 3Fe 2(PO 4)3and Fe 2O 3,whatFig.3.TGA/DTA curve of LiFePO 4/C under air flow at heating rate of 10C min−1.corresponded to the relative gain in mass of exactly 5.07%[9].Therefore,the weight percentage of carbonaceous fraction in the LiFePO 4/C composite was determined as equal to the difference between the TG plateaus at temperatures 300and 650◦C,aug-mented for 5.07%.According to this calculation the carbon fraction amounted to 13.4wt.%,and by means of this value,the electro-chemical parameters discussed in the next sections were correlated to pure LiFePO 4.Specific surface area of LiFePO 4,required for the measurement of diffusion constant,was determined from SEM image (Fig.2).Assuming a spherical particle shape and accepting mean particle radius r =37.5nm,the specific surface area was estimated on the basis of equation [17,22,45,46]:S =3rd(1)where the bulk density d =3.6g cm −3was used .This calculation resulted in the value S =22.2m 2g −1.In this calculation the contri-bution of carbon to the mean particle radius was ignored,however the error introduced in such way is more acceptable than the error which may arise if standard BET method were applied to the com-posite with significant carbon ly,due to a usually very developed surface area of carbon,the measured specific sur-face may exceed many times the actual surface area of LiFePO 4.3.2.Electrochemical measurements3.2.1.Non-aqueous electrolyte solutionIn order to compare the behavior of the synthesized LiFePO 4/C composite to the existing literature data,available predominantly for non-aqueous solutions,a brief test was performed in non-aqueous 1M LiClO 4+propylene carbonate solution by galvano-static experiments only.The results for the rates C/10,C/3and C,within the voltage limits 2.1–4.2V,were presented in Fig.4.The polarizability of the lithium electrode was estimated on the basis of the study by Churikov [56–67],who measured the current–voltage curves of pure lithium electrode in LiClO 4/propylene carbon-ate solutions at various temperatures.To the highest rate of 1C =170mA g −1in nonaqueous electrolyte,the corresponding cur-rent amounted to 0.25mA,which was equal to the current density of 0.064mA cm −2through the Li counter electrode.According to Fig.2in Ref.[67],for room temperature,the corresponding over-voltage amounted to only 6mV.Since lithium electrode is thus practically non-polarizable in this system,the voltages presented on the ordinate of the left diagram are the potentials of the olivine electrode expressed versus Li/Li +reference electrode.The clear charge and discharge plateaus at about 3.49V and 3.40V,respec-tively,correspond to the LiFePO 4 FePO 4phase equilibria [5].At discharging rate of C/10,the initial discharge capacity,within the limits of experimental error,was close to a full

value is higher than that for LiFePO 4/C composite obtained by glycine [19],malonic acid [14]and adipic acid/ball milling [15]assisted methods.As usual,the discharge capacity decreased with increasing discharging rate (Fig.4b),and amounted to 127mAh g −1at C/3,and 109mAh g −1at 1C.For practical application of Li-ion batteries,a satisfactory rate capability and long cycle life are of primary importance.The charge/discharge profiles and dependence of capacity on the cycle number at the rate 1C are presented in Fig.5.The capacity was almost independent on the number of cycles,similarly to theearlier reports by Fey et al.[37–39].For comparison,Kalaiselvi et al.[19],by a glycine assisted gel-combustion procedure,with an additional amount (2wt.%)of carbon black,produced a similar nanoporous LiFePO 4/C composite displaying somewhat poorer per-formance,i.e.,smaller discharge capacity of 160mAh g −1at smaller discharging rate of C/20.On the other hand,better rate capability of LiFePO 4/C com-posite,containing only 1.1–1.8wt.%of carbon,in a non-aqueous solution,was reported by Liu et al.[21].For instance they mea-sured 160mAh g −1at the rate 1C,and 110at even 30C [21].This may be due to a thinner carbon layer around the LiFePO 4olivine particles.However the advantage of here applied thicker carbon layer exposed itself in aqueous electrolyte solutions,as described in the next section.3.2.2.Aqueous electrolyte solution3.2.2.1.Cyclic voltammetry.By the cyclic voltammetry method (CV)the electrochemical behavior of LiFePO 4/C composite in satu-rated aqueous LiNO 3solution was preliminary tested in the voltage range 0.4–1V versus SCE.The cyclic voltammograms are pre-sented in Fig.6.The highest scan rate of 100mV s −1,tolerated by this material,was much higher than the ones (0.01–5mV s −1)used in previous studies in both organic [13,24,25]and aqueous electrolyte solutions [47,48].Since one deals here with the thin layer solid redox electrode,limited in both charge consumption and diffusion length,the voltammogram is more complicated for interpretation comparing with the classic case of electroactive species in a liquid solution.A sharp,almost linear rise of current upon achieving reversible potential,with overlapped rising parts at various scan rates,similar to ones reported elsewhere [21,25],resembles closely the voltammogram of anodic dissolution ofaFig.6.Cyclic voltammograms of LiFePO 4/C in saturated LiNO 3aqueous electrolyte with a scan rate of 1mV s −1(left)and at various scan rates in the range 1–100mV s −1.252M.Vujkovi´c et al./Electrochimica Acta 92 (2013) 248–256Fig.7.Anodic and cathodic peak current versus square root of scan rate forLiFePO 4/C composite in aqueous LiNO 3electrolyte solution.thin metal layer [56],which proceeds under constant reactant activity.Since the solid/solid phase transitions LiFePO 4 FePO 4accompanies the redox processes in this system [5,8,57,58],the positive scan of the voltammograms depict the phase transition of LiFePO 4to FePO 4,while the negative scan depicts the phase transi-tion FePO 4to LiFePO 4.As shown by Srinivasan et al.[5],LiFePO 4may be exhausted by Li not more than 5mol.%before to trans-form into FePO 4,while FePO 4may consume no more than 5%Li before to transform into LiFePO 4,i.e.cyclic voltammetry exper-iments proceeds under condition of almost constant activity of the electroactive species.Although these aspects of the Li inser-tion/deinsertion process do not fit the processes at metal/liquid electrolyte boundary implied by Randles–Sevcik equation:i p =0.4463F RT1/2C v 1/2AD 1/2(2)this equation was frequently used to estimate apparent diffusion coefficient in Li insertion processes [5,17,21,46,59].To obtain peak current,i p ,in amperes,the concentration of lithium,C =C Li ,should be in mol cm −3,the real surface area exposed to the electrolyte in cm 2,chemical diffusion coefficient of lithium through the solid phase,D =D Li ,in cm 2s −1,and sweep rate,v ,in V s −1.The Eq.(2)pre-dicts the dependence of the peak height on the square root of sweep rate to be linear,as found often in Li-ion intercalation processes [17,21,25,59,60].This condition is fulfilled in this case too,as shown in Fig.7.The average value of C Li may be estimated as a reciprocal value of molar volume of LiFePO 4(V M =44.11cm 3mol −1),hence C Li =2.27×10−2mol cm −3.The determination of the actual surface area of olivine is a more difficult task,due to the presence of carbon in the LiFePO 4/C ly,classical BET method of sur-face area measurement may lead to a significantly overestimated value,since carbon surface may be very developed and participate predominantly in the measured value [15].Thus the authors in this field usually calculated specific surface area by means of Eq.(1),using mean particle radius determined by means of electron microscopy [17,22,45,46].Using S =22.2m 2g −1determined by means of Eq.(1),and an actual mass of the electroactive substance applied to the elec-trode surface (0.001305g),the actual electrode surface area was calculated to amount to A =290cm 2.This value introduced in Randles–Sevcik equation yielded D Li ∼0.8×10−14cm 2s −1.From the aspect of capacity retention,the insolubility of olivine in aqueous solutions is advantageous compared to the vanadia-based Li-ion intercalation materials,such as Li 1.2V 3O 8[61],LiV 3O 8[62]and V 2O 5[63],the solubility of which in LiNO 3solution was perceivable through the yellowish solutioncoloration.Fig.8.The Nyquist plots of LiFePO 4/C composite in aqueous LiNO 3solution at var-ious stages of delithiation;inset:enlarged high-frequency region.3.2.2.2.Impedance measurements.Figs.8and 9present the Nyquist plots of the LiFePO 4/C composite in aqueous LiNO 3solution at various open circuit potentials (OCV),during delithiation (anodic sweep,Fig.8)and during lithiation (cathodic sweep,Fig.9).The delithiated phase,observed at OCV =1V,as well as the lithi-ated phase,observed at OCV =0V,in the low-frequency region (f <100Hz)tend to behave like a capacitor,characteristic of a surface thin-layered redox material with reflective phase bound-ary conditions [64].At the OCV not too far from the reversible one (0.42V during delithiation,0.308V during lithiation),where both LiFePO 4and FePO 4phase may be present,within the whole 10−2–105Hz frequency range,the reaction behaves as a reversible one (i.e.shows the impedance of almost purely Warburg type).The insets in Figs.8and 9present the enlarged parts of the impedance diagram in the region of high frequencies,where one may observe a semicircle,the diameter of which corresponds theoretically to the charge transfer resistance.As visible,the change of open circuit potential between 0and 1V,in spite of the phase transition,does not cause significant change in charge transfer resistance.The small charge transfer resistance obtained with the carbon participation of 13.4%,being less than 1 ,is the smallest one reported thus far for olivine based materials.This finding agrees with the trend found by Zhao et al.[27],that the charge transfer resistance scaleddownFig.9.The Nyquist plots of LiFePO 4/C composite in aqueous LiNO 3solution at var-ious stages of lithiation;inset:enlarged high-frequency region.M.Vujkovi´c et al./Electrochimica Acta 92

formed carbon in the LiFePO 4/C composite increased in the range 1,2.8and 4.8%.For OCV corresponding to the cathodic (0.42V)and anodic (0.308V)peak maxima,the Warburg constant W was calculated from the dependence [21]:Z Re =R e +R ct + W ω−1/2(3)In the frequency range 2.7–72Hz,almost purely Warburg impedance was found to hold (i.e.the slope of the Nyquist plot very close to 45degrees was found).At the potential of cathodic current maximum (0.42V),from Fig.10, W was determined to amount to 7.96 s −1/2.At the potential of anodic maxima,0.308V, W was determined to amount to 9.07 s −1/2.In the published literature,for the determination of diffusion coefficient on the basis of impedance measurements,the following equation was often used [66,68,69]:D =0.5V M AF W ıE ıx2(4)where V M is molar volume of olivine,44.1cm 3, W is Warburg con-stant and ıE /ıx is the slope of the dependence of electrode potential on the molar fraction of Li (x )for given value of x .However,the potentials of CV maxima in the here studied case correspond to the x range of two-phase equilibrium,where for an accurate deter-mination of ıE /ıx a strong control of perturbed region of sample particles is required [69],and thus the determination of diffusion coefficients was omitted.3.2.2.3.Galvanostatic measurements.The galvanostatic measure-ments of LiFePO 4/C in saturated LiNO 3aqueous solution were performed in a two-electrode arrangement using hydrother-mally synthesized VO 2[55]as the active material of thecounterFig.11.Capacity versus cycle number and charge/discharge profiles

tests of VO 2in saturated LiNO 3solution at the sweep rate 10mV s −1,evidenced excellent cyclability and stable capacity of about 160mAh g −1during at least 50cycles.The voltage applied to the two-electrode cell was cycled within the limits 0and 1.4V.Due to a significant stoichiometric excess of VO 2over LiFePO 4/C composite (5:1)the actual voltage may be considered to be the potential versus reference VO 2/Li x VO 2electrode.Fig.11shows the dependence of the discharging Coulombic capacity of the LiFePO 4/C composite on the number of galvano-static cycles at discharging rate C/3,as well as (in the inset)the voltage vs.charging/discharging degree for 1st,2nd and 50th cycle.The charge/discharge curves do not change substantially in shape upon cycling,indicating stable capacity.For an aqueous solution,a surprisingly high initial discharge capacity of 106mAh g −1and low capacity fade of only 6%after 50charge/discharge cycles were evidenced.This behavior is admirable in comparison to other elec-trode materials in aqueous media reported in literature (LiTi 2(PO 4)3[42],LiV 3O 8[57]),and probably enabled by a higher thermody-namic stability of olivine structure [1].Fig.12presents the results of cyclic galvanostatic investigations of LiFePO 4/C composite in aqueous LiNO 3solution at various dis-charging rates.The charging/discharging rate was initially C/3for 80cycles and then was increased stepwise up to 3C.ThecapacityFig.12.Cyclic performance of LiFePO 4/C in saturated LiNO 3aqueous electrolyte at different charging/discharging rates.。

Systeme,N¨o thnitzer Str.38,D-01187Dresden,GermanyBy making use of the self-consistent projection operator method with high-momentum and high-energy resolutions,we find a kink structure in the quasiparticle excitation spectrum of the two-dimensional Hubbard model in the underdoped regime.The kink is caused by a mixing between the quasiparticle state and excitations with short-range antiferromagnetic order.We suggest that this might be the origin of the strong concentration dependence of the ’kink’found in La 2−x Sr x CuO 4(x =0.03−0.07).KEYWORDS:kink,quasiparticle excitations,Hubbard model,ARPES,cuprate,LSCORecent high-resolution photoemission experiments show that there is a well-defined ’kink ’in the quasipar-ticle band dispersion of high-T c cuprates,whose energy scale is ωkink =60−70meV in both the normal and superconducting states.1–3The kink along the nodal di-rection was found to have a universal feature,2i.e.,the Fermi velocity v F in the low-energy region (|ω|<ωkink )is not sensitive to the type of cuprates,doping concen-tration,and isotope substitution,4although v F in the high-energy regime (|ω|>ωkink )strongly depends on the latter.Various theoretical explanations for the kink have been attempted from two different points of view.One type of theory relies on the coupling of an electronic quasiparticle to the spin fluctuation resonance mode ob-served in inelastic neutron scattering experiments.5,6An-other relies on a coupling to phonons,particularly to the longitudinal optical phonon mode found in neutron ex-periments.2,3The latter approach raised again the fun-damental question on the mechanism underlying high-T c superconductivity in cuprates,i.e.,electron-or phonon-mediated.Although the reliability of these theories is un-der debate and the improvements of these theories are in progress,7,8it has not yet been seriously studied whether or not the kink in the quasiparticle state can be solely of electronic origin.We deal with this problem in the present letter and report the appearance of a kink due to long-range electron correlations in the two-dimensional (2D)Hubbard model for small doping concentrations.The difficulty in the present problem is that the per-turbation approach is not applicable to cuprates be-cause of strong electron correlations.Therefore,ad-vanced theories such as the Lanczos method,9the quan-tum Monte-Carlo (QMC)method,10–12and dynamical cluster approximation (DCA),13,14have been applied to the cuprate system.They clarified the global structure of the single-particle excitation spectrum in the 2D Hub-bard model.A detailed structure of the low-energy ex-citations at low temperatures,however,has not been derived because of the limited resolutions in both mo-mentum and energy and the limited range of intersitez −ǫk −Λk (z ).(1)Here,z =ω+iδ,where δis a positive infinitesimal number,and ǫk is the Hartree-Fock one-electron energy dispersion measured from Fermi energy.In the SCPM,the momentum-dependent self-energy Λk (z )is calcu-lated from the Fourier transform of nonlocal memory functions M ij asΛk (z )=U2jM j 0(z )exp(i k ·R j ).(2)Note that R j is the position vector of site j .High-momentum and high-energy resolutions are achieved bytaking into account the off-diagonal terms M ij (z )up to infinity.We calculate M ij (z )by means of an incremental cluster expansion in an effective medium with a co-herent potential ˜Σ(z ).Within the two-site approxima-tion,the M ij (z )are given by M ii (z )=M (i )ii (z )+ l =i M (il )ii (z )−M (i )ii (z ) and M i =j (z )=M (ij )i =j (z ).M (i )ii (z )and M (ij )i =j (z )are the matrix elements of the clus-ter memory matrices defined by M (c )lm (z )= ˆM(c ) 1−L (c )·ˆM(c )−1lm(c =i,ij ).Here,L

correlations).11,13The kink atωkink=−0.8|t|is caused by a mixing between the quasiparticle state and magnetic excitations.Re-cently,we have reported that a marginal Fermi liquid17 (MFL)-like behavior is found in the underdoped region (δh<∼0.03)away from half-filling because of a pinning of Fermi energy to the van Hove anomaly due to a trans-fer of spectral weight from the lower Hubbard band to the upper one.18Antiferromagnetic correlations should be enhanced in this region because of nesting.The kink behavior appears in this regionδh<∼0.03.On the other hand,the lower Hubbard band collapses whenδh>∼0.03. The MFL-like state with antiferromagnetic correlations changes to a normal Fermi liquid state and the kink dis-appears,as noted in Fig.3.The calculated Fermi velocity along theΓ-M line is presented in Fig.4.The velocity shows a weak concentration dependence,and the renor-malization factor of the Fermi velocity is about1.8from the underdoped region to the overdoped one.We have also examined in detail excitations alongΓ-X-M.Because of the van Hove singularity,the quasipar-ticle band around the X point is quiteflat.We do not find a kink behavior in thisflat band region.The mix-ing between the quasiparticle band and the band of the magnetic excitations takes place away from the linear dispersion regime near the Fermi level,i.e.,(|k|,ω)= (0.5π,−1.2)on theΓ-X line.Because both bands are flat,it is not clear whether this region contains a kink. The present model is too simple for attempting a comparison with the experimental data.Nevertheless, it is plausible that the kink is enhanced with decreas-ing doping concentration because of the development of short-range antiferromagnetic order.We speculate that the strong concentration dependence of the kink in La2−x Sr x CuO4(LSCO)3,19may be caused by the present mechanism.In fact,we obtain for the charac-teristic kink energyωkink=70meV when we choose the transfer integral so that the calculated Fermi veloc-ity along the nodal direction agrees with the observed one(1.8eV·˚A).The value forωkink agrees well with the experimental one(60-70meV).19In summary,we have investigated the quasiparticle band in the doped2D Hubbard model on the basis of the SCPM with high-momentum and high-energy resolutions.Wefind a kink along the nodal direction (0,0)−(π,π)in the range of doping concentrations 0<δh<∼0.03where the MFL behavior persists.It is caused by a mixing between the quasiparticle excitations and magnetic excitations with short-range antiferromag-netic order.The kink decays rapidly with the decrease in antiferromagnetic correlations.We speculate that the kink in the underdoped regime of LSCO may be due to the present mechanism.AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to thank Drs.J.Fink and O.

Sinica1引言自20世纪90年代以来,锂离子电池以其较高的工作电压、较大的比容量以及绿色安全等优点引起了企业和研究机构的广泛关注.锂离子电池正极材料占锂离子电池总成本的40%左右,也是制约其容量的主要因素,因此开发理想的正极材料,是今后锂离子电池研究的热点和发展电动交通工具的关键.11169Acta Phys.-Chim.Sin.2012Vol.28磷基材料以其较高的能量密度和良好的散热性能受到了研究学者的广泛关注.2-7在过去的研究中,人们把注意力大都集中在橄榄石型结构的LiMPO4(M=Mn,Fe,Co,Ni)系列材料上,特别是具有较高的理论容量(170mAh·g-1),适中的电位(Li/ Li+为3.4V),以及对环境友好等特点的LiFePO4材料.2近年来,除了传统的橄榄石型的磷酸盐外,其他晶体结构的磷酸盐也逐渐受到重视.LiM2(PO4)3 (M=Fe,V,Ti)是一类Na+超离子导体(NASICON)结构的材料,不仅可以用于固体电解质,也可用于锂离子电池电极材料.8-11NASICON结构是带负电的三维骨架,结构式为Ti2P3O12,是由PO4四面体和TiO6八面体相连接,每个TiO6八面体与6个PO4四面体相连接,Li+在晶体结构的三维通道中迁移.12LiTi2(PO4)3属于NASICON 型超离子导体材料,有两种不同的Li+位(M1和M2), M1被完全填充,而M2都是空位.在放电过程中,有两个Li+嵌入LiTi2(PO4)3中形成Li3Ti2(PO4)3,充电的过程两个Li+从Li3Ti2(PO4)3中脱出形成LiTi2(PO4)3.13,14目前关于用LiTi2(PO4)3作为锂离子电池电极材料的研究报道并不多,而且LiTi2(PO4)3多采用高温固相法制得.本文采用溶胶-凝胶法替代传统的高温固相法制备了LiTi2(PO4)3/C复合材料,并研究其电化学性能.2实验部分聚乙烯醇(PV A,含量高于97%)、NH4H2PO4(含量高于99%,分析纯)均为天津福晨化学试剂厂产品,Li2CO3(含量高于98%,分析纯)、TiO2(含量高于98%,化学纯)均为国药集团化学试剂公司产品.采用溶胶-凝胶法制备LiTi2(PO4)3/C.具体过程为:先将PV A溶于去离子水中,然后加入摩尔计量比的Li2CO3、NH4H2PO4、TiO2,使其在去离子水中充分溶解.混合物在80°C水浴搅拌器内搅干形成固体,然后在鼓风干燥箱内80°C下干燥24h,研磨后得到前驱体.将前驱体移入瓷舟内并放入管式炉内,在Ar气氛保护下,以10°C·min-1升温速率加热到900°C,保温12h,即得到LiTi2(PO4)3/C样品.反应方程式为:0.5Li2CO3+2TiO2+3(NH4)H2PO4→LiTi2(PO4)3+3NH3+4.5H2O+0.5CO2(1)物相测试在D/Max-3B型X射线衍射仪(日本理学Rigaku)上完成.测量条件为Cu靶,Kα射线,石墨单色器,管电压35kV,管电流30mA,扫描速率为3

10%(w)的炭黑(99%,上海杉杉科技有限公司)组成,以铝箔作为集流体.电解液为1mol·L-1LiPF6-碳酸乙烯酯(EC)/碳酸二乙酯(DEC)/碳酸二甲酯(DMC) (体积比1:1:1)(张家港国泰华荣化工新材料公司).所有电化学实验均采用2032扣式电池体系,金属锂片为对电极.充放电实验在2XZ-2B电池检测系统(深圳新威电子仪器公司)上完成.充放电电压范围为1.50-3.50V,充放电倍率为0.1C(1C=138 mAh·g-1).循环伏安(CV)及电化学阻抗谱(EIS)测试在CHI660D电化学工作站(上海辰华仪器有限公司)上完成.CV的扫描速率为10-4-10-3V·s-1不等,电压范围为1.50-3.50V.EIS测试频率范围为10-2-105Hz,交流信号振幅为5mV,测试中获得的阻抗数据用Zview软件进行拟合.3结果与讨论3.1XRD及SEM结果图1为LiTi2(PO4)3/C复合材料的XRD图谱.对照JCPDS(#35-0754)卡片可知,各个衍射峰与标准卡片上一致,图谱衍射峰尖锐,峰强较高,说明材料具有良好的NASICON结构晶型.11此外,XRD图谱中出现3个低强度P2O5的杂质衍射峰,很可能在合成过程中由于未反应的(NH4)H2PO4在高温时分解引入的.图2为LiTi2(PO4)3/C复合材料的SEM图像.从图1LiTi2(PO4)3/C复合材料XRD的图谱Fig.1XRD

4)3中的锂离子脱嵌是一步进行的.氧化还原电位差ΔV 为0.20V ,略大于充放电平台差(ΔV =0.05V),这是因为循环伏安模拟电池充放电过程时会存在极化现象,使ΔV 略有增加.从图中可以发现,第一周扫描过程中,还原嵌锂峰的峰值电流I p1为0.69mA,氧化脱锂峰值电流I p2为0.47mA,说明首次脱/嵌锂时的电化学动力学存在差异.在以后的几周中,还原峰值和氧化峰值基本一致,重合性也较第一周好,说明材料在经过第一周充放电后,结构的稳定性有所增加.15图4(a)为LiTi 2(PO 4)3/C 电极在第1和2周的充放电曲线,其中放电平台为2.45V ,充电平台为2.50V ,与理论充放电平台一致,16且平台较平,说明材料具有良好的电化学性能.第一周充放电容量分别为137和144mAh ·g -1.Wang 等11指出,NASICON 结构的LiTi 2(PO 4)3在锂离子嵌入/脱出时,除了Ti 4+/Ti 3+得到/失去电子外,[PO 4]3-也可以得失电子,这样理论上每1mol LiTi 2(PO 4)3反应会有5.2mol 的Li +嵌入/脱出.而在本研究中,1mol LiTi 2(PO 4)3中大约有2图2LiTi 2(PO 4)3/C 复合材料不同放大倍数的SEM 图像Fig.2SEM photographs of LiTi 2(PO 4)3/C compositematerial with differentmagnifications图3LiTi 2(PO 4)3/C 电极循环伏安曲线Fig.3Cyclic

4)3/C 电极的循环性能曲线如图4(b)所示,除首次充放电过程中存在一定的不可逆容量衰减外,充放电容量基本保持一致,充放电效率基本上保持在100%.但是材料容量的衰减比较快,循环20周后充放电容量分别为109和110mAh ·g -1,其容量保持率分别为79.56%和76.39%.容量衰减较快可能是因为材料在反复脱嵌锂的过程中体积有所变化,使活性物质与导电剂接触不理想,复合材料的导电性能下降造成的.3.3EIS 研究3.3.1LiTi 2(PO 4)3/C 电极在首次放电过程中的EIS谱基本特征图5为LiTi 2(PO 4)3/C 电极首次放电过程中的阻抗谱变化图.从图中可以看出,在开路电位2.90V 时,LiTi 2(PO 4)3/C 电极的Nyquist 图在整个测试频率范围内主要由三个部分组成,即高频区域的一个半圆、中频区的一个半圆及低频区域的一段斜线.依据经典的锂离子嵌入脱出机制模型,17,18高频区半圆(HFS)是与SEI 膜相关的半圆,但是考虑高频区的半圆在开路电位下(2.90V)就存在,且阻值很大,因而高频区的半圆除了与SEI 膜有关外,可能也与接触阻抗有关.中频区域半圆(MFS)是与电荷传递过程相关的半圆,而低频区部分的斜线(LFL)则反映了锂离子在电极材料固体中的扩散过程.在电极极化电位降低至2.40V 的过程中,Nyquist 图的基本特征与开路电位时相似.2.30V 时,Nyquist 图的一个重要特征为低频区域的斜线演变为一段斜线和一段圆弧,此时Nyquist 图由四部分组成,即高频区域与SEI 膜和接触阻抗相关的半圆,中频区域与电荷传递过程相关的半圆,低频区域与固态扩散相关的斜线以及更低频区域的一段圆弧.根据Barsoukov 等19的观点,更低频区域的半圆是与锂离子嵌入过程中材料本体发生相变有关的半圆,即LiTi 2(PO 4)3在反应电位时,锂离子大量嵌入,LiTi 2(PO 4)3转变为Li 3Ti 2(PO 4)3,并由于体积的膨胀,产生了一个新的相界面.新的相界面使锂离子在两相中传输速率发生变化,在Nyquist 图上表现为一个新的半圆.先前我们运用EIS 研究Cu 6Sn 5合金的嵌锂过程时,也观察到了类似的现象.20-22根据EIS 谱的基本特征,本文选取的等效电路如图6所示,其中R s 代表溶液电阻,R 1、R 2、R 3分别代表高频半圆、中频区半圆和相变相关的电阻,高频半圆电容、中频半圆电容、低频扩散阻抗和相变电容分别用恒相角元件(CPE)Q 1、Q 2、Q 3、Q 4表示,CPE 的导纳响应表达式如下:Y =Y 0ωn cos(n π2)+j Y 0ωn sin(n π2)(2)其中ω为角频率,j 为虚数单位-1.当n =0时,CPE相当于一个电阻;n =1,CPE 相当于一个电容;n =0.5,图5LiTi

semicircle;MFS:middle frequency semicircle;LFL:low frequencyline1172袁铮等:LiTi 2(PO 4)3/C 复合材料的制备及电化学性能No.5CPE 相当于Warburg 阻抗.根据该等效电路对实验结果进行拟合.在拟合过程中,根据EIS 低频区域是否存在与扩散相关的斜线和与相变相关的圆弧,通过添减Q 3和R 3/Q 4等效电路元件实现对不同电位下EIS 的拟合.拟合结果见图7.由此可见图6所示的等效电路能满意地拟合不同电位下的EIS 实验数据,实验数据曲线与拟合曲线实现很好的重叠,各等效电路参数拟合误差小于15%.3.3.2各频率区间内数值变化及分析图8为LiTi 2(PO 4)3/C 电极在首次放电过程中R 1随电极电位变化关系.可以看出在放电过程中,2.90-2.50V 之间,R 1随电极极化电位的降低缓慢增大,表明LiTi 2(PO 4)3/C 电极的SEI 膜随电极极化电位的降低缓慢增厚,同时接触阻抗逐渐增大.2.50-2.40V 之间,R 1随电极极化电位的降低迅速增大.图9为Li 1+x Ti 2(PO 4)3首次放电过程中嵌锂度x 随电极极化电位的变化.可以看出首次放电过程中,随着电极极化电位的下降,嵌锂度不断增加.当电极极化电位降低到2.50V 时,锂离子的嵌入量为1.96%.从2.50V 到2.40V 时,嵌锂量突增到60.47%,说明此过程中有大量锂离子的嵌入.锂离子的大量嵌入会使颗粒体积膨胀,导致颗粒内部的应力增大.考虑到本研究中所制备的活性材料颗粒较大,颗粒内部的应力增大,会引起活性材料颗粒的破碎,导致活性材料表面积增大,进而使SEI 膜阻抗增大.同时颗粒的破碎也会使材料的接触变差,致使接触阻抗增大,这与文献报道15的一致.2.40V 以下,R 1随电极极化电位的降低缓慢增大,与2.90-2.50V 范围内R 1的变化规律类似.图6LiTi 2(PO 4)3/C 电极的EIS 拟合等效电路Fig.6Equivalent circuit proposed for EIS fitting of LiTi 2(PO 4)3/C

during the first dischargeprocessActa Phys.-Chim.Sin.2012Vol.28图10为LiTi 2(PO 4)3/C 在首次放电过程中电荷传递电阻R 2随电极电位变化的关系.可以看出,R 2值随着电极电位的变化先减小后增大.如果假设不存在嵌入电极的锂离子之间和锂离子与嵌锂空位之间的相互作用,电荷传递电阻R ct 与嵌锂度x 满足如下关系:23R ct =1fFAk s x 0.5(1-x )0.5(3)其中f =F /RT (F 为法拉第常数,R 为气体常数,T 为热力学温度),k s 为标准速率交换常数,A 为电极表面积.可以得出:当x →0或1时,R ct 快速增大,当x →0.5时,R ct 减小,即在放电的过程中,R ct 随电极电位的关系表现为先减小后增大.这与R 2随电极电位变化规律一致,证实中频区的半圆是与电荷传递过程相关的半圆.在我们前期研究石墨电极的电化学阻抗谱中,得出当嵌锂度很小(x →0)时,ln R ct 和E 满足公式:24ln R ct =ln RT n 2e F 2c max k 0(M Li +)(1-α)-αF (E -E 0)RT (4)其中n e 是反应过程中电子的转移数目,α为电化学反应的对称因子,E 和E 0分别代表电极的实际和标准电位,c max 为电极的最大嵌锂度,k 0为标准反应速率常数,M Li +为电极表面溶液中的锂离子浓度.从等式(4)可以得出,当x →0时,ln R ct 和电极极化电位呈线性变化关系.从图11可以看出,LiTi 2(PO 4)3/C 电极首次放电过程中ln R 2和电极电位E 成线性关系,这和式(4)是相吻合的,进一步说明中频区的半圆是与电荷传递相关的半圆.图12为LiTi 2(PO 4)3/C 电极在首次放电过程中相变电阻R 3随电极极化电位变化的关系.从图中可以看出,R 3的值随电极电位的降低逐渐增大,这是因为图10LiTi 2(PO 4)3/C 电极在首次放电过程中R 2随电极电位变化的数值分析结果Fig.10Variations of R 2obtained

2(PO 4)3/C 复合材料的制备及电化学性能No.5随着电极电位的不断降低,LiTi 2(PO 4)3相转变为Li 3Ti 2(PO 4)3相的过程变得困难,当电极电位降到1.50V 时,相变电阻R 3值比在2.30V 时大了一个数量级,这与Barsoukov 等19采用电化学阻抗谱研究LiCoO 2相变过程的结果相似.此外,较大程度的相变会减少活性材料颗粒与颗粒之间及颗粒与整体电极之间的电接触,致使电极循环性能下降.3.4扩散系数的测定图13为LiTi 2(PO 4)3/C 电极在不同扫描速率下的循环伏安曲线.随着扫描速率的上升,还原峰向低电位转移,氧化峰向高电位转移,其间距ΔV 增大,这是因为LiTi 2(PO 4)3的电导率太低,在扫描速率较快时,发生较大极化造成的.同时,峰值电流(I p )随着扫描速率的增加而增加.峰值电流(I p )和扫描速率的平方根存在一个线性关系,如图14所示,这是典型的扩散控制过程,说明LiTi 2(PO 4)3中的两相转变动力学可以近似地认为是一个扩散过程.化学扩散系数可以通过Randles-Sevcik 方程25计算出:I p =0.4463n 32F 32CAR -1/2T -1/2D 12CV v12(5)其中,n 是反应过程中转移的电子数量,C 是反应物体相浓度,D CV 是由CV 确定出的化学扩散系数,v 是扫描速率.扩散系数可以通过式(5)计算得出.(5)式可以化简为:I p =2.72×105n 32CAD 12CV v12(6)计算出LiTi 2(PO 4)3的嵌锂/脱锂的扩散系数分别为2.40×10-5和1.07×10-5cm 2·s -1,这与文献11报道的一致.LiTi 2(PO 4)3的扩散系数远大于其他嵌锂材料,这是因为NASICON 结构中的传输通道和间隙对锂离子的扩散起到促进作用.4结论采用聚乙烯醇(PV A)辅助溶胶-凝胶法代替传统的高温固相法制备了LiTi 2(PO 4)3/C 复合材料,并运用XRD 、SEM 、充放电测试、循环伏安、电化学阻抗谱对其结构形貌和电化学性能进行了表征.XRD 研究结果表明,所制备的LiTi 2(PO 4)3/C 复合材料具有良好的NASICON 结构晶型.充放电结果显示,其首次放电容量为144mAh ·g -1.采用EIS 对LiTi 2(PO 4)3/C 复合材料首次嵌锂过程进行研究,发现当锂离子大量嵌入时,颗粒内应力增大,体积膨胀,体积的膨胀会造成颗粒的破碎和相变的产生,这对其电化学性能具有重要影响.并计算出Li +在LiTi 2(PO 4)3中嵌入/脱出时的扩散系数,分别为2.40×10-5和1.07×10-5cm 2·s -1.References(1)Wakihara,M.Mater.Sci.Eng .2001,33,109.(2)Padhi,A.K.;Nanjundaswamy,K.S.;Goodenough,J.B.J .Electrochem

New Electron-Doped Superconducting Cuprate Li x Sr2CuO2Br2Tetsuya Kajita1, Masatsune Kato1*, Takashi Suzuki1, Takashi Itoh2, Takashi Noji1 and Yoji Koike1*E-mail address: kato@teion.apph.tohoku.ac.jp1Department of Applied Physics, Graduate School of Engineering, Tohoku University, 6-6-05 Aoba, Aramaki, Aoba-ku, Sendai 980-8579, Japan2Center for Interdisciplinary Research, Tohoku University, 6-3 Aoba, Aramaki, Aoba-ku, Sendai 980-8578, Japan(Received )A new electron-doped superconductor Li x Sr2CuO2Br2 with x = 0.15 has successfully been synthesized by an electrochemical Li-intercalation technique. The magnetic susceptibility shows superconductivity of bulk with the superconducting transition temperature T c = 8 K. This compound is the first electron-doped superconducting cuprate with the K2NiF4 structure.KEYWORDS: superconductivity, Li-intercalation, layered perovskite, cuprate, electron-dopingSince the discovery of high-T c superconductivity1), a large number of superconducting cuprates have been synthesized. Most of them are hole-doped superconductors, including (La, Sr)2CuO42) and YBa2Cu3O7.3)On the other hand, only two families of electron-doped superconducting cuprates are known: one is T'-(Ln, Ce)2CuO4 (Ln : lanthanide)4) and the other is the so-called infinite-layer compounds (Sr, Ln)CuO2.5)As shown in Fig. 1, Sr2CuO2Br2 is a layered perovskite with the K2NiF4 structure and essentially isostructural to the well-known hole-doped high-T c superconductor (La, Sr)2CuO4. The Sr2CuO2Br2 contains CuO2 planes as in the case of (La, Sr)2CuO4, but the out-of-plane oxygen ions at the apices of the CuO6 octahedron are replaced by Br- ions, and (La, Sr) by Sr. In the rock-salt layer of Sr and Br, Sr2+ ions shift a little towards the nearest CuO2 plane and Br-ions away from the CuO2 plane, which is due to the larger radius of Br- than of O2- and the smaller Coulomb attraction between Cu2+ and Br- than between Cu2+ and O2-. This leads to the formation of the Br-- Br- double layers. Accordingly, Li+ ions are expected to be readily intercalated between the electronegative Br- layers, which are weakly bound through the van der Waals force, as in the case of Li x FeOCl 6) and the superconducting Li x HfNCl (the superconducting transition temperature T c = 25.5 K). 7)In this paper, we report the synthesis and superconductivity of a new electron-doped superconducting cuprate, namely, the Li-intercalated layered perovskite Li x Sr2CuO2Br2.Polycrystalline host samples of Sr2CuO2Br2 were synthesized as follows. First, polycrystals of SrCuO2 were prepared from stoichiometric amounts of SrCO3 and CuO powders. The powders were mixed, ground and heated in air at 925 °C for 10 h. The products were then pulverized, pressed into pellets and sintered for 20 h at 950 °C. Next, the obtained single-phase samples of SrCuO2 were mixed with a stoichiometric amount of SrBr2, pressed into pellets and then sintered for 24 h at 825 °C. Finally, the obtained samples of Sr2CuO2Br2 were mixed with naphthalene of 30 weight %, pelletized with the dimensions of 7 mm in diameter and 1.5 mm in thickness and then sintered again for 6 h at 600 °C to obtain porous samples of Sr2CuO2Br2 which were suitable for the homogeneous intercalation of Li. The electrochemical Li-intercalation was carried out at room temperature in an argon-filled glove box. A three-electrode cell was set up as Sr2CuO2Br2|1.0 M LiClO4/PC|Li. The working electrode was a pellet of Sr2CuO2Br2 which was put between Ni meshes. The counter electrode was a sheet of Li. As an electrolyte, 1.0 M LiClO4 dissolved in propylene carbonate (PC) was used. A sheet of Li was used also as a reference electrode. The Li-intercalation was performed under a constant potential of 0.5 V (vs Li/Li+) using a potentiostat. The total amount of Li intercalated intoSr2CuO2Br2 was estimated to be 0.15 according to the simple Faraday law and also the ICP analysis. All products were characterized by powder x-ray diffraction using Cu Kαradiation to be of the single phase. Since the products were unstable in air, they were mixed with grease in order to avoid the exposure to the moisture in the atmosphere during the measurements. The magnetic susceptibility was measured using a SQUID magnetometer in a magnetic field of 3 Oe.Figure 2 shows the powder x-ray diffraction pattern of Li0.15Sr2CuO2Br2. The pattern is the same as that of the host sample. All the peaks can be indexed on the basis of the tetragonal symmetry, indicating no formation of byproducts. Moreover, no change of the lattice parameters through the Li-intercalation is observed within our experimental accuracy.Figure 3 displays the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of Li0.15Sr2CuO2Br2. A single-step diamagnetic response due to the Meissner effect is observed below 8 K. The superconducting volume fraction estimated at 2 K on field cooling is about 6 %, indicating that the superconductivity is of bulk. The small value may suggest the presence of a pristine region of Sr2CuO2Br2 in the sample. At present, we have not yet succeeded in the electrical resistivity measurement because the porous Li-intercalated samples are too brittle for us to make electrically good contact.The present compound Li x Sr2CuO2Br2 is the first electron-doped superconducting cuprate with apical anions. So far, it has been believed that hole carriers cannot be introduced into the CuO2 plane with no apical anion and that electron carriers neither into the CuO2 plane with apical anions. In the A2CuO2X2 system (A = alkaline earth metal; X = halogen) with apical halogen ions of X, actually, both Sr2CuO2F2+x (T c = 46 K)8) and (Ca, Na)2CuO2Cl2 (T c = 26K)9) are hole-doped superconductors. The noticeable difference in the carrier type is considered to come from the difference in the length of the a-axis. The a-axis length a = 3.99 Å in the present compound is much larger than those of Sr2CuO2F2 (a = 3.81 Å) and Ca2CuO2Cl2 (a = 3.84 Å). The increase in the a-axis length, namely, the increase in the Cu-O bond length in the CuO2 plane decreases the Madelung potential at the Cu site, so that electronegative electron carriers tend to be readily introduced into the CuO2 plane. According to the empirical rule of the carrier-doping into the CuO2 plane, the critical length of the Cu-O bond in the CuO2 plane at which the carrier type changes from hole-like to electron-like is 1.94 Å, namely, a = 3.88 Å. 10)The present result is consistent with this rule.In conclusion, we have successfully synthesized a new superconductor Li0.15Sr2CuO2Br2 with T c = 8 K, which is the third family of electron-doped superconducting cuprates, using the electrochemical Li-intercalation technique. Thiscompound is the first electron-doped superconducting cuprate with apical anions. It has been found that the value of the a-axis length is crucial to the carrier type in the superconducting cuprates with the CuO2 plane.This work was supported by a Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research from the Ministry of Education, Science, Sports and Culture, Japan.References1) J.
