Sodium ion batteries(SIBs)are very promising for large-scale energy storage in virtue of its high energy density,abundant sodium resources and low environmental impact,etc.However,it is still a big challenge to develop high-performance and durable cathode materials for SIBs.Among different candidate materials,Na_3V_2(PO_4)_3has attracted great attentions due to its high theoretical capacity(117 mAh/g),stable framework structure and excellent ionic conductivity.However,Na_3V_2(PO_4)_3delivers inferior rate capability and cycling stability due to its poor electronic conductivity.In this work,free-standing Na_3V_2(PO_4)_3/carbon nanofiber membranes are synthesized by an electrospinning-sintering route.The sample could deliver excellent cycling capability with specific capacity of 112 mAh/g at 1 C after 250cycles and ultrahigh rate capability with 76.9 mAh/g even at 100 C,which is superior to many state-ofthe-art SIB cathode materials.This can be attributed to the hierarchically distributed Na_3V_2(PO_4)_3crystals in carbon nanofiber network,which possesses outstanding electronic/ionic conductivity and thus leads to an ultrahigh rate capability. 相似文献
The key to the development of sodium ion battery is materials with a high rate capacity and cycle stability. Conducting coating is an efficient approach to improve electrochemical performance. As a case study, the Na_3V_2(PO_4)_3@PEDOT composite was prepared through an in-situ self-decorated conducting polymer route without further calcination. The Na_3V_2(PO_4)_3 electrode with a 7%poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)(PEDOT) coating can deliver an initial reversible capacity of 100 mA h g~(-1) at 1 cycle, and 82%capacity retention over 200 cycles. The results also show that the Na_3V_2(PO_4)_3 electrode without and with a thick PEDOT coating exhibits poor electrochemical performance, indicating that an appropriate coating layer is important for improving electronic conductivity and regulating Na-ion insertion. Therefore, this work offers possibility to promote the electrochemical performance of poor-conducting materials in sodium-ion batteries using an in-situ self-decorated conducting polymer. 相似文献
Na-doped Li3V2(PO4)3/C (LVP/C) cathode materials are prepared by a sol–gel method. X-ray diffraction results show that the Na ion has been well doped into the crystal structure of LVP/C and does not disturb the extraction–insertion behavior of lithium ion seriously. The initial discharge capacity of the Na-doped LVP/C is 112.2?mA?h g?1 at 5?C, and the capacity retention reaches 98.3?% over 80 cycles. Cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectra indicate that the reversibility of electrochemical redox reaction and the charge-transfer resistance of LVP/C cathode material have been significantly improved by Na doping. The improved performances can be attributed to the more convenient route for lithium ion diffusion and the lower activation energy of the extraction–insertion of lithium ion due to the weakness of Li-O bond. 相似文献
Li3V2(PO4)3/C (LVP/C) cathode materials were successfully prepared by a rheological phase method using alginic acid as the carbon source. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns demonstrate that all the samples contain pure LVP with the same monoclinic structure. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images show that LVP/C materials have a uniform particle size. The LVP/C sample with 10% (w) alginic acid shows the best cycling stability. It delivers a discharge capacity of 117.5 mAh·g-1 (3.0-4.3 V), which can be maintained at 116.5 mAh·g-1 after 50 cycles at a rate of 0.1C. Its capacity retentions of 99.1% (3.0-4.3 V) and 76.8% (3.0-4.8 V) after 50 cycles are prominently higher than those of pristine Li3V2(PO4)3, which are 89.7% (3.0-4.3 V) and 62.39% (3.0-4.8 V). These outstanding electrochemical performances are mainly attributed to the alginic acid-based carbon coating, which can increase the electronic conductivity of materials and buffer the mechanical damage of the active materials during the Li ion insertion/extraction process, thus improving the electrochemical performance of the LVP/C samples. 相似文献
The carbon-coated monoclinic Li3V2(PO4)3 (LVP/C) cathode materials can be synthesized by one-step heat treatment from a sucrose-containing precursor. Properties of the prepared composite material were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), pore size distribution and specific surface area analyzer, optical particle size analyzer and electrochemical methods. X-ray diffraction results show that LVP sample is monoclinic structure. The sample presents initial discharge capacity of 127.2 mA h/g (at 0.2 C rate), and exhibits better cycling stability (115.1 mA h/g at 30th cycle at 0.2 C rate) and better rate capability (83.1 mA h/g at 50th cycle under 6 C rate) in the voltage range of 3.0–4.3 V. In the voltage range of 3.0–4.8 V, it exhibits a initial discharge capacity of 169.1 mA h/g and good cycling stability (104.9 mA h/g at 20th cycle at 0.5 C rate). 相似文献
Carbon-coated monoclinic Li3V2(PO4)3 (LVP/C) cathode material has been successfully prepared by a novel glycine-assisted sol–gel method. The product is investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) and electrochemical method. In the range of 3.0–4.3 V, the LVP/C electrode presents excellent rate capability. It is 125.4 mAh g− 1 that can be delivered at 1 C charge–discharge rate and 99.5 mAh g− 1 is still obtained at 20 C charge–discharge rate. These results demonstrate that the carbon-coated LVP/C composite material prepared via a glycine-assisted sol–gel method has great potential for use in high-power lithium ion batteries. 相似文献
LiNi_(0.915)Co_(0.075)Al_(0.01)O_2(NCA) with Zr(OH)_4 coating is demonstrated as high performance cathode material for lithium ion batteries(LIBs). The coated materials are synthesized via a simple dry coating method of NCA with Zr(OH)_4 powders, and then characterized with scanning electron microscopy(SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). Experimental results show that amorphous Zr(OH)_4 powders have been successfully coated on the surface of spherical NCA particles, exhibiting improved electrochemical performance. 0.50 wt% Zr(OH)_4 coated NCA delivers a capacity of 197.6 mAh/g at the first cycle and 154.3 mAh/g after 100 cycles with a capacity retention of 78.1% at 1 C rate. In comparison, the pure NCA shows a capacity of 194.6 mAh/g at the first cycle and 142.5 mAh/g after 100 cycles with a capacity retention of 73.2% at 1 C rate. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS) results show that the coated material exhibits a lower resistance, indicating that the coating layer can efficiently suppress transition metals dissolution and decrease the side reactions at the surface between the electrode and electrolyte. Therefore, surface coating with amorphous Zr(OH)_4 is a simple and useful method to enhance the electrochemical performance of NCA-based materials for the cathode of LIBs. 相似文献
The lattice doping has been widely used to improve the electrochemical performances of Li-rich cathode materials but the roles of the introduced foreign atoms are still not very clear.Herein,a series of Li_2Ru_(1-x)Ti_xO_3 solid solutions have been synthesized and the roles of Ti doping on the structural and electrochemical properties of Li_2RuO_3 have been comprehensively investigated.The Rietveld refinement exhibits that the interlayer spacing gradually shortens with increasing Ti content.This shrinkage is favorable to the layered structure stability but increases the lithium diffusion barrier.Galvanostatic measurements show that Li_2Ru_(0.8)Ti_(0.2)O_3 possesses the best cyclability with 196.9 and 196.1 m Ah g~(-1)for charge and discharge capacity retaining after 90 cycles,respectively.Cyclic voltammetry scanning indicates that Ti dopant promotes the formation of more peroxo-or superoxo-like species but reduces the initial coulumbic efficiency.Results of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy display that Ti doping reduces the charge transfer impedance,which facilitates the lithium-ion diffusion across the electrolyteelectrode interface and improves the electronic conductivity.Li_2Ru_(0.8)Ti_(0.2)O_3exhibits the best electrochemical performance owing to the balance among all the factors discussed above.This study also offers some new insights into optimizing the electrochemical performances of Li-rich cathode materials through the lattice doping. 相似文献
The three-dimensional porous Li3V2(PO4)3/nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (LVP/N-RGO) composite was prepared by a facile one-pot hydrothermal method and evaluated as cathode material for lithium-ion batteries. It is clearly seen that the novel porous structure of the as-prepared LVP/N-RGO significantly facilitates electron transfer and lithium-ion diffusion, as well as markedly restrains the agglomeration of Li3V2(PO4)3 (LVP) nanoparticles. The introduction of N atom also has positive influence on the conductivity of RGO, which improves the kinetics of electrochemical reaction during the charge and discharge cycles. It can be found that the resultant LVP/N-RGO composite exhibits superior rate properties (92 mA h g?1 at 30 C) and outstanding cycle performance (122 mA h g?1 after 300 cycles at 5 C), indicating that nitrogen-doped RGO could be used to improve the electrochemical properties of LVP cathodes for high-power lithium-ion battery application.
