Effects of microwave irradiation on the electrochemical performance of manganese-based cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries

Microwave-assisted synthesis has continued to be adopted for the preparation of high-performance manganese-based cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries. The technique is fast, energy-efficient and has significant positive impacts on the general physico-chemical properties of the cathode materials: LiMn₂O₄, LiMn_1.5Ni_0.5O₄, and lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxides. Despite the advantages of microwave-assisted synthesis, this review reveals that the application is still limited. In our opinion, increased basic knowledge of the microwave process and availability of safe and reliable instrumentation could be a great opportunity for the commercial realization of low-cost and energy-dense Mn-based cathode materials for the next-generation lithium-ion batteries.     

Direct reuse of LiFePO4 cathode materials from spent lithium-ion batteries: Extracting Li from brine

Due to the serious imbalance between demand and supply of lithium, lithium extraction from brine has become a research hotspot. With the demand for power lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) increased rapidly, a large number of spent LiFePO₄ power batteries have been scrapped and entered the recycling stage. Herein, a novel and efficient strategy is proposed to extract lithium from brine by directly reusing spent LiFePO₄ powder without any treatment. Various electrochemical test results show that spent LiFePO₄ electrode has appropriate lithium capacity (14.62 mg_Li/g_LiFePO4), excellent separation performance (α_Li-Na = 210.5) and low energy consumption (0.768 Wh/g_Li) in electrochemical lithium extraction from simulated brine. This work not only provides a novel idea for lithium extraction from brine, but also develops an effective strategy for recycling spent LIBs. The concept of from waste to wealth is of great significance to the development of recycling the spent batteries.     

Monitoring of the evolved gases in apatite-ammonium sulfate thermal reactions

Summary Thermal reactions in natural fluorapatite or fluorcarbonate apatite and ammonium sulfate mixtures with mole ratio 1:4 at calcination up to 500°C were studied by simultaneous thermogravimetry and FTIR analysis of the evolved gases. The composition of natural apatite has little impact on the release of NH₃. Upon the evolution of NH₃ nitrous oxides were found in minor amounts. The release of SO₂ at temperatures above 400°C is more intensive and occurs at lower temperatures in the case of fluorapatite than of carbonate containing apatites. Evolution of CO₂ starts at 250°C with maximum at 350-360°C.

In this paper, the ammonia leaching process and high-energy ball milling method were adapted to recover spent LiCoO₂ material. The ammonia reduction leaching mechanism of LiCoO₂ material in the ammonia-sodium sulfite-ammonium chloride system was elucidated. Compared with untreated LiCoO₂ material, the leaching equilibrium time of LiCoO₂ after ball-milled for 5 h was reduced from 48 h to 4 h, and the leaching efficiency of lithium and cobalt was improved from 69.86% and 70.80% to 89.86% and 98.22%, respectively. Importantly, the apparent activation energy and leaching kinetic equation of the reaction was calculated by the shrinking core reaction model, indicating that the reaction was controlled by the chemical reaction.     

High reversible capacity and rate capability of ZnCo2O4/graphene nanocomposite anode for high performance lithium ion batteries

A facile and straightforward method was adopted to synthesize ZnCo₂O₄/graphene nanocomposite anode. In the first step, pure ZnCo₂O₄ nanoparticles were synthesized using urea-assisted auto-combustion synthesis followed by annealing at a low temperature of 400 °C. In the second step, in order to synthesize ZnCo₂O₄/graphene nanocomposite, the obtained pure ZnCo₂O₄ nanoparticles were milled with 10 wt% reduced graphene nanosheets using high energy spex mill for 30 s. The ZnCo₂O₄ nanoparticles, with particle sizes of 25–50 nm, were uniformly dispersed and anchored on the reduced graphene nanosheets. Compared with pure ZnCo₂O₄ nanoparticles anode, significant improvements in the electrochemical performance of the nanocomposite anode were obtained. The resulting nanocomposite delivered a reversible capacity of 1124.8 mAh g⁻¹ at 0.1 C after 90 cycles with 98% Coulombic efficiency and high rate capability of 515.9 mAh g⁻¹ at 4.5 C, thus exhibiting one of the best lithium storage properties among the reported ZnCo₂O₄ anodes. The significant enhancement of the electrochemical performance of the nanocomposite anode could be credited to the strong synergy between ZnCo₂O₄ and graphene nanosheets, which maintain excellent electronic contact and accommodate the large volume changes during the lithiation/delithiation process.
