LiFePO4包覆的Li1.2Mn0.54Ni0.13Co0.13O2锂离子电池正极材料:增强的库伦效率和循环性能

In this work, we present a new design for a surface protective layer formed by a facile aqueous solution process in which a nano-architectured layer of LiFePO₄ is grown on a Li-rich cathode material, Li_1.2Mn_0.54Ni_0.13Co_0.13O₂. The coated samples are then calcined at 400 or 500℃ for 5 h. The sample after calcination at 400℃ demonstrates a high initial columbic efficiency of 91.9%, a large reversible capacity of 295.0 mAh·g^-1 at 0.1 C (1 C=300 mA·g^-1), and excellent cyclability with a capacity of 206.7 mAh·g^-1after 100 cycles at 1 C. Meanwhile, voltage fading of the coated sample is effectively suppressed by protection offered by a LiFePO₄ coating layer. These superior electrochemical performances are attributed to the coating layer, which not only protects the Li-rich cathode material from side reaction with the electrolyte and maintains the stability of the interface structure, but also provides excess reversible capacity.     

非水溶剂Li-O2电池锂负极研究进展

The aprotic Li-O₂ battery has attracted considerable interest in recent years because of its high theoretical specific energy that is far greater than that achievable with state-of-the-art Li-ion technologies. To date, most Li-O₂ studies, based on a cell configuration with a Li metal anode, aprotic Li⁺ electrolyte and porous O₂ cathode, have focused on O₂ reactions at the cathode. However, these reactions might be complicated by the use of Li metal anode. This is because both the electrolyte and O₂ (from cathode) can react with the Li metal and some parasitic products could cross over to the cathode and interfere with the O₂ reactions occurring therein. In addition, the possibility of dendrite formation on the Li anode, during its multiple plating/stripping cycles, raises serious safety concerns that impede the realization of practical Li-O₂ cells. Therefore, solutions to these issues are urgently needed to achieve a reversible and safety Li anode. This review summarizes recent advances in this field and strategies for achieving high performance Li anode for use in aprotic Li-O₂ batteries. Topics include alternative counter/reference electrodes, electrolytes and additives, composite protection layers and separators, and advanced experimental techniques for studying the Li anode|electrolyte interface. Future developments in relation to Li anode for aprotic Li-O₂ batteries are also discussed.     

可用作便携式电源的高性能直接碳固体氧化物燃料电池组

A direct carbon solid oxide fuel cell (DC-SOFC) stack was prepared with 3 tubular cells electrically connected in series. To increase carbon storage in the stack, the anode was fabricated outside the tubular cells so that carbon fuel can be loaded at the exterior of the stack, which is more spacious than the interior. The 3-cell-stack is operated directly with carbon as the fuel and oxygen in ambient air as the oxidant. With a total effective area of 10.2 cm² and a 5% (w) Fe-loaded activated carbon fuel of 17 g, the stack reveals a peak power of 4.1 W at 800℃. The stack discharged at a constant current of 1.0 A for 19 h, giving a charge capacity of 19 A·h and an energy capacity of 31.6 W·h, which are much higher than those of a similar stack with anode on the inside and carbon loaded at the interior. The high capacity of our DC-SOFC opens up potential applications in portable devices.
