Synthesis and electrochemical properties of nanostructured LiCoO2 fibers as cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries

Nanostructured LiCoO2 fibers were prepared by the sol-gel related electrospinning technique using metal acetate and citric acid as starting materials. The transformation from the xerogel fibers to the LiCoO2 fibers and the nanostructure of LiCoO2 fibers have been investigated in detail. The LiCoO2 fibers with 500 nm to 2 mum in diameter were composed of polycrystalline nanoparticles in sizes of 20-35 nm. Cyclic voltammetry and charge-discharge experiments were applied to characterize the electrochemical properties of the fibers as cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries. The cyclic voltammogram curves indicated faster diffusion and migration of Li+ cations in the nanostructured LiCoO2 fiber electrode. In the first charge-discharge process, the LiCoO2 fibers showed the initial charge and discharge capacities of 216 and 182 (mA.h)/g, respectively. After the 20th cycle, the discharge capacity decreased to 123 (mA.h)/g. The X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy analyses indicated that the large loss of capacity of fiber electrode during the charge-discharge process might mainly result from the dissolution of cobalt and lithium cations escaping from LiCoO2 to form the crystalline Li2CO3 and CoF2 impurities.     

X-ray absorption spectroscopic study of LiCoO2 as the negative electrode of lithium-ion batteries.

Lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO(2)) particles are modified using rotor blade grinding and re-annealing and used as the active electrode material versus lithium in the 3-0 V potential interval, in which a maximum capacity of 903 mA h g(-1) is achieved. X-ray absorption near edge structure spectra reveal the complete reduction of Co(3+) to Co metal at 0 V. Cell recharge leads to an incomplete reoxidation of cobalt. A maximum reversible capacity of 812 mA h g(-1) is obtained, although a poor capacity retention upon prolonged cycling may limit its application.     

Influences of different cobalt sources on the properties of synthesized LiCoO2

Since 1991, LiCoO2 used as cathode material of lithium-ion rechargeable batteries has attracted much attention in the industry of portable power apparatus such as mobiles, laptops and camcorders, etc. However, the production technologies of LiCoO2 have always been possessed by the foreign corporations. Although a plenty of research work has been performed in domestics, it is almost impossible to surpass the technological rampart, which renders our state to subject to much foreign exchange consumption.Many preparation methods such as solid state reaction, sol-gel process and hydrothermal synthesis et al have been reported in the literature. Via our studies, it is found that in the process of LiCoO2 synthesis not only lithium sources but also cobalt sources can play an important part in the physical and electrochemical properties, and also have a remarkable influence on the properties of LiCoO2.But as for the different synthesis methods, the necessary cobalt source is different, and as for the same synthesis method, the LiCoO2 prepared with different cobalt sources has different electrochemical performance.So far, the detailed findings on the LiCoO2 cathode material synthesized with various cobalt sources have not been reported yet in the literature. In this paper, the following work has been carried out.The LiCoO2 cathode material was synthesized by liquid-phase soft-chemistry process and solid state reaction at higher temperature with different cobalt sources respectively, and characterized by XRD, BET, SEM, TEM, laser particle size distribution and electrochemical testing. Its properties were compared. The effects of different cobalt sources, aqueous ammonia and ethanol additives on the physical and electrochemical properties of LiCoO2 cathode materials were investigated. The results have demonstrated that the different cobalt sources, aqueous ammonia and ethanol additives have remarkable influences on the physical and electrochemical properties of LiCoO2 cathode material. When liquid-phase soft-chemistry process is used to synthesize LiCoO2 cathode material,most excellent cobalt source when high-temperature solid state reaction method is used to prepare LiCoO2 cathode materials. The optimal sintering temperature range is 800℃～820 ℃ when liquid-phase soft-chemistry process is used to synthesize LiCoO2 cathode materials. Liquid-phase soft-chemistry process is superior to high-temperature solid state reaction method when LiCoO2 cathode materials is prepared.

LiCoO_2 electrode/electrolyte interface of Li-ion batteries investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy

The storage behavior and the first delithiation of LiCoO2 electrode in 1 mol/L LiPF6-EC:DMC:DEC elec- trolyte were investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). It has found that, along with the increase of storage time, the thickness of SEI film increases, and some organic carbonate lithium compounds are formed due to spontaneous reactions occurring between the LiCoO2 electrode and the electrolyte. When electrode potential is changed from 3.8 to 3.95 V, the reversible breakdown of the resistive SEI film occurs, which is attributed to the reversible dissolution of the SEI film component. With the increase of electrode potential, the thickness of SEI film increases rapidly above 4.2 V, due to overcharge reactions. The inductive loop observed in impedance spectra of the LiCoO2 electrode in Li/LiCoO2 cells is attributed to the formation of a Li1-xCoO2/LiCoO2 concentration cell. Moreover, it has been demonstrated that the lithium-ion insertion-deinsertion in LiCoO2 hosts can be well described by both Langmuir and Frumkin insertion isotherms, and the symmetry factor of charge transfer has been evaluated at 0.5.

Preparation of LiCoO2 concaved cuboctahedra and their electrochemical behavior in lithium-ion battery

LiCoO(2) concaved cuboctahedra with a size of about 1.0 μm were hydrothermally prepared from CoCO(3) and LiOH·H(2)O at 150 °C. Field-emitting scanning electron microscope (FESEM) images show that the cuboctahedra consisted of four hexagonal plates, with angles of 70.5° in neighboring plates. Electron diffraction (ED) patterns of the hexagonal plates show 1 0 0 diffraction of LiCoO(2) in rhombohedral phase and 2?2?0 diffraction in spinel phase, which means LiCoO(2) concaved cuboctahedra are comprised of two intergrown phases. The electrochemical performance of these concaved cuboctahedra of LiCoO(2) at a rate of 0.5 C demonstrated first run charge/discharge capacities of 155 and 141 mAh g(-1) and a stable discharge capacity of 114 mAh g(-1) after 100 cycles. After that, FESEM images show the LiCoO(2) concaved cuboctahedra have undergone no significant change. At a temperature of 120 °C and under the same conditions, only a small amount of LiCoO(2) concaved cuboctahedron appeared. As the temperature rose to 180 °C, flower-like LiCoO(2) microstructures with a size of about 1.0 μm were formed, constructed of irregular plates. The electrochemical performance of the products prepared at 120 °C and 180 °C indicates lower stability than that of LiCoO(2) concaved cuboctahedra.

When is a metallopolymer not a metallopolymer? When it is a metallomacrocycle

We report reactions of cobalt(II) acetate with a series of ditopic bis(tpy) ligands (tpy = 2,2':6',2'-terpyridine) containing flexible polyethyleneoxy spacers (tpy-4'-O{(CH(2))(2)O}(n)-4'-tpy, n = 2, 3, 4 or 6 ligands 1-4, respectively) which result in the formation of complicated mixtures of species, presumed to be both open chain and cyclic species. Well resolved paramagnetically shifted (1)H NMR spectra are a powerful tool for the analysis of these solution systems. Upon equilibration, [n + n] metallomacrocycles are isolated as the dominant (thermodynamic) species in some cases, and the single crystal X-ray structures of [Co(2)(3)(2)][PF(6)](4)·6MeCN and [Co(2)(4)(2)][PF(6)](5)·2MeCN (a mixed cobalt(ii)/cobalt(iii) species) are presented. Oxidation of the equilibrated cobalt(II) mixtures to kinetically inert cobalt(III) species provides additional evidence for the formation of metallomacrocycles as the thermodynamic products. Single crystal structural data for [Co(3)(2)(3)][PF(6)](9)·2MeCN·3.5H(2)O, [Co(2)(3)(2)][PF(6)](6)·10MeCN and [Co(2)(4)(2)][PF(6)](6)·6MeCN confirm the assembly of [2 + 2] and [3 + 3] metallomacrocycles. PGSE NMR spectroscopy has been used to determine the hydrodynamic radii of the solution species.
