Electrical Properties of Polycrystalline Lithium Chloroboracite Prepared by the Sol-Gel Method

The electrical properties of polycrystalline lithium chloroboracite, Li4B7O12Cl, prepared by the sol-gel method were investigated in connection with their structure. Li4B7O12Cl pellets were prepared with different amounts of hydrochloric acid or ammonium chloride. The kind and amount of the chlorine source affected the formation of by-products (Li2B4O7, LiCl, a glass phase) and the morphology of the Li4B7O12Cl pellets. Thus their conductivity, which is dominated by grain boundary response owing to the high porosity of the materials, was also affected. The formation of Li2B4O7 as a by-product led to a higher activation energy and lower conductivity. In those pellets in which Li2B4O7 did form, an increase of the amount of glass phase led to higher conductivities.     

锂离子电池正极材料LiMn2O4的合成与晶体结构（英）

Spinel LiMn₂O₄ powders were prepared using two-step synthesis method consisting of solid-state reaction method and citrate modified sol-gel method. The effects of the calcination temperature and the Li/Mn ratio of raw materials were studied on the physicochemical and electrochemical properties of the spinel LiMn₂O₄ powders, such as crystallinity, lattice constant and density. The title compound was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Polycrystalline LiMn₂O₄ powers calcined at 750 ℃ were found to be composed of very uniformly-sized microcrystal with an average particle size of 300 nm. The improvement in electrochemical properties was mainly attributed to the process of re-grinding by absolute alcohol.     

Structure and Electrochemical Behavior of Lithium-Manganese Spinels Doped with Chromium and Nickel

A series of compounds with the general formula LiMn_{2 - x - y} Cr _x Ni _y O₄, where x + y = 0.05, 0.5, or 1.0, is synthesized. It is shown that all these compounds are pure-phase spinels with parameter aequal to 0.8193-0.8236 nm. Doping a stoichiometric lithium-manganese spinel simultaneously with chromium and nickel makes the spinel structure stable. The initial specific capacity of a spinel depends on its doping degree. Doping LiMn₂O₄ with chromium and nickel simultaneously at an Mn : Cr : Ni ratio of 195 : 3 : 2 raises the spinel's specific capacity and reduces the cycling degradation. The change in the discharge capacity of LiMn_1.95Cr_0.03Ni_0.02O₄ electrodes cycled at 20, 0, and -14°C is determined.     

稀土掺杂对锂离子电池正极材料LiMn2O4结构及电性能的影响

利用微波加热技术合成稀土掺杂基锂离子电池正极材料LiMn2-xRExO4(RE=Y，Nd，Gd，Ce)，通过XRD、循环伏安及恒电漉充放电测试研究了稀土掺杂离子对合成正极材料结构及电化学性能的影响。XRD测试结果表明，合适的掺杂量可以起到扩展锂离子脱嵌通道和稳定骨架结构的作用，稀土离子的引入可以部分取代原有的三价锰离子，由于稀土离子的离子半径较三价锰离子大，因此稀土掺杂锰酸锂材料的晶胞参数比未掺杂材料大，在一定程度上扩充了锂离子迁移的三维通道，更有利于锂离子的嵌入与脱嵌；循环伏安及恒电漉充放电测试结果表明稀土掺杂有效提高了LiMn2O4材料的电化学循环可逆性及循环稳定性。     

Surface modification of carbon anodes for secondary lithium battery by fluorination

Recent results on the surface modification of petroleum cokes and their electrochemical properties as anodes of secondary lithium batteries are summarized. The surface of petroleum coke and those heat-treated at 1860-2800 °C were fluorinated by elemental fluorine (F₂), chlorine trifluoride (ClF₃) and nitrogen trifluoride (NF₃). No surface fluorine was found except only one sample when ClF₃ and NF₃ were used as fluorinating agents while surface region of petroleum coke was fluorinated when F₂ was used. Transmission electron microscopic (TEM) observation revealed that closed edge of graphitized petroleum coke was destroyed and opened by surface fluorination. Raman spectra showed that surface fluorination increased the surface disorder of petroleum cokes. Main effect of surface fluorination with F₂ is the increase in the first coulombic efficiencies of petroleum cokes graphitized at 2300-2800 °C by 12.1-18.2% at 60 mA/g and by 13.3-25.8% at 150 mA/g in 1 mol/dm³ LiClO₄-ethylene carbonate (EC)/diethyl carbonate (DEC) (1:1, v/v). On the other hand, main effect of the fluorination with ClF₃ and NF₃ is the increase in the first discharge capacities of graphitized petroleum cokes by ∼63 mAh/g (∼29.5%) at 150 mA/g in 1 mol/dm³ LiClO₄-EC/DEC.     

Development of direct fluorination technology for application to materials for lithium battery

Direct fluorination of 1,3-dioxolan-2-one with elemental fluorine was successfully carried out to provide 4-fluoro-1,3-dioxolan-2-one, which was expected as an additive for lithium ion secondary battery. 4-Fluoro-1,3-dioxolan-2-one was also further fluorinated with elemental fluorine to give three isomers of difluoro derivatives by the same methodology. Another topic is the preparation of trifluoromethanesulfonyl fluoride, an intermediate of lithium battery electrolyte, by the reaction of methanesulfonyl fluoride with elemental fluorine. The use of perfluoro-2-methylpentane as a solvent gave satisfactory selectivity of trifluoromethanesulfonyl fluoride.

Fabrication of solid thin film electrolyte and LiCoO2 by aerosol flame pyrolysis deposition

Aerosol flame pyrolysis deposition method was applied to deposit the oxide glass electrolyte film and LiCoO₂ cathode for thin film type Li-ion secondary battery. The thicknesses of as-deposited porous LiCoO₂ and Li₂O–B₂O₃–P₂O₅ electrolyte film were about 6 μm and 15 μm, respectively. The deposited LiCoO₂ was sintered for 2 min at 700 °C to make partially densified cathode layer, and the deposited Li₂O–P₂O₅–B₂O₃ glass film completely densified by the sintering at 700 °C for 1 h. After solid state sintering process the thicknesses were reduced to approximately 4 μm and 6 μm, respectively. The cathode and electrolyte layers were deposited by continuous deposition process and integrated into a layer by co-sintering. It was demonstrated that Aerosol flame deposition is one of the good candidates for the fabrication of thin film battery.
