The Knock-Down, Drag-Out Fight Over the Next Generation of Batteries (II)

A few years after Michel Armand's sprint to Austin, MIT professor Yet–Ming Chiang's group began working on "self–assembling" batteries, a far–horizon concept that means exactly what it sounds like. "We were trying to design into [different materials] the necessary attractive and repulsive forces to have a system in which cathode and anode particles assembled themselves," Chiang said. To do so they were studying olivines, the class of compounds that includes lithium iron phosphate, which had properties that made them good candidates for that experiment. Chiang and his team were "doping" various olivines in an attempt to make them better conductors of electrons. Doping-adding tiny, targeted dashes of impurities to a material in order to tweak its electronic structure and therefore change its behavior- is one way materials scientists bend nature to their will. It's how scientists can engineer the interior organization and behavior of electrons and atoms until, for example, what was a wafer of plain silicon becomes the basis for a microchip. When Chiang's student Sung–Yoon Chung applied this technique to lithium iron Hitachi drill battery phosphate, embedding niobium or zirconium atoms in just the right spots in the crystalline lattice, it seemed to cause an astonishing increase in the ability of the material to conduct electricity. It was like turning salt into metal. These were "very surprising results," Chiang said.

In October 2002, Chiang's group published a paper that presented doped lithium iron phosphate as the next great hope for hybrid and electric vehicles. The paper argued that they had improved it on the atomic scale in such a way that it could make a battery cathode that could be completely discharged in three minutes, which is the kind of raw power that an electric–car battery needs. It was a breakthrough, Chiang's paper argued, that "may allow development of lithium batteries with the highest power density yet." Goodenough's old collaborator Michael Thackeray, who was by then working at Argonne National Laboratory, wrote an accompanying editorial that emphasized the potential significance of Chiang's experiment. This had "exciting implications" for "a new generation of lithium–ion batteries." Thackeray acknowledged "one slightly controversial aspect" of the research: "that the olivine powders were synthesized from carbon containing precursors . . . Carbon can, of course, contribute significantly to electronic conductivity. Nevertheless, Chiang and colleagues carefully addressed this possibility and ruled it out." His conclusion: "These results will spark much interest in the lithium Milwaukee battery community, who will undoubtedly want to repeat the experiments quickly to verify these very significant increases in electronic conductivity."

That was a bit of an understatement. The idea that adding a small number of metal atoms to lithium iron phosphate could transform it into a good electronic conductor generated considerable skepticism in the lithium–ion research community. To many, it just didn't seem possible to transform this material so greatly with such a small tweak to its chemical composition. Michel Armand was incensed when he saw the paper. He believed there was no way Chiang's method could have worked. To Armand, it was clear that Chiang had done essentially the same thing he had some years earlier- that in the process of preparing the material, he had unwittingly coated the particles with carbon. Instead of accepting that a carbon coat had made the material usable, however- which Armand had already demonstrated and presented publicly- Chiang simply clung to the more remarkable and useful explanation. Chiang's paper was "false science," Armand told me, something that should have never gotten past the independent scientists who judge studies before they can be published in a peer–reviewed journal like Nature Materials.

"When the paper came out, I wrote to the editor and said, ‘I'm very sorry for you, because you've got a big scientific goof,' " Armand said. Armand began reproducing the experiments in Chiang's paper, and soon he had formulated a rebuttal. Written by Armand and two colleagues, the response was published as a letter to the editor in the 2003 issue of Nature Materials. The retort was delivered in the understated smack–talk of a scientific journal. Armand was accusing Chiang of either misunderstanding or misrepresenting his research.

Chiang hadn't doped anything, Armand argued. Instead, some of the lining from jars used in the experiment had been charred into carbon in the process of synthesizing the Makita batteries material, and that carbon had then coated the particles. There was a second fluke at work too, Armand argued. A metallic compound of iron and phosphorus (Fe2P) had also coated the particles, making it easier still for electrons to move around in the material. Together, these two lucky accidents made LiFePO4 into a fierce conductor of electrons.
