Cation mixing （Li0.5Fe0.5）2SO4F cathode material for lithium-ion batteries

We study the crystal structure of a triplite-structured (Li_0.5Fe_0.5)SO₄F with full Li⁺/Fe2⁺ mixing. This promising polyanion cathode material for lithium-ion batteries operates at 3.9 V versus Li⁺/Li with a theoretical capacity of 151 mAh/g. Its unique cation mixing structure does not block the Li⁺ diffusion and results in a small lattice volume change during the charge/discharge process. The calculations show that it has a three-dimensional network for Li-ion migration with an activation energy ranging from 0.53 eV to 0.68 eV, which is comparable with that in LiFePO₄ with only one-dimensional channels. This work suggests that further exploring cathode materials with full cation mixing for Li-ion batteries will be valuable.     

Synthesis and electrochemical properties of nanostructured Li2FeSiO4/C cathode material for Li-ion batteries

Nanostructured Li₂FeSiO₄/C was synthesized by high-energy ball-milling and the amorphous citrate-assisted techniques. Similar redox behaviour is observed for samples prepared by the amorphous citrate-assisted route followed by a 4 h heat treatment: 0.3 V polarization and more sloping behaviour was observed when cycling between 2.0 V and 3.7 V at 60 °C; lower capacity fade is also observed compared to Li₂FeSiO₄/C prepared by the solid-state reaction technique. A discharge capacity of 102 mA h g^− 1 is obtained for samples prepared by the high-energy ball-milling method, while capacities decrease from 95 to 77 mA h g^− 1 using the amorphous citrate method for heat-treatment times increasing successively from 4 h to 18 h.

Electrochemical properties of SnO2 nanorods as anode materials in lithium-ion battery

Well-dispersed SnO2 nanorods with diameter of 4-15 nm and length of 100-200 nm are synthesised through a hydrothermal route and their potential as anode materials in lithium-ion batteries is investigated. The observed initial discharge capacity is as high as 1778 mA·h/g, much higher than the theoretical value of the bulk SnO2 (1494 mA·h/g). During the following 15 cycles, the reversible capacity decreases from 929 to 576 mA·h/g with a fading rate of 3.5% per cycle. The fading mechanism is discussed. Serious capacity fading can be avoided by reducing the cycling voltages from 0.05-3.0 to 0.4-1.2 V. At the end, SnO2 nanorods with much smaller size are synthesized and their performance as anode materials is studied. The size effect on the electrochemical properties is briefly discussed.     

Structural and electronic properties of the Li-ion battery cathode material LixCoSiO4

The first-principles density functional theory has been employed to study the structural and electronic properties of Li_xCoSiO₄. The lattice stability of Li_xCoSiO₄ during the lithiation–delithiation process is discussed. The changes in the electronic structures of Li_xCoSiO₄ during the deintercalation of Li ions are also probed. It is found that Li₂CoSiO₄ reacts reversibly with 1 Li⁺ at an average voltage of 4.1 V versus a lithium anode. The computational results indicate that Li₂CoSiO₄ material is a potential candidate for high-capacity cathode for advanced lithium ion batteries.     

Enhancement of electrochemical performance in lithium-ion battery via tantalum oxide coated nickel-rich cathode materials

Nickel-rich cathode materials are increasingly being applied in commercial lithium-ion batteries to realize higher specific capacity as well as improved energy density. However, low structural stability and rapid capacity decay at high voltage and temperature hinder their rapid large-scale application. Herein, a wet chemical method followed by a post-annealing process is utilized to realize the surface coating of tantalum oxide on LiNi_0.88Mn_0.03Co_0.09O₂, and the electrochemical performance is improved. The modified LiNi_0.88Mn_0.03Co_0.09O₂ displays an initial discharge capacity of ～ 233 mAh/g at 0.1 C and 174 mAh/g at 1 C after 150 cycles in the voltage range of 3.0 V-4.4 V at 45℃, and it also exhibits an enhanced rate capability with 118 mAh/g at 5 C. The excellent performance is due to the introduction of tantalum oxide as a stable and functional layer to protect the surface of LiNi_0.88Mn_0.03Co_0.09O₂, and the surface side reactions and cation mixing are suppressed at the same time without hampering the charge transfer kinetics.     

Electronic structure and optical properties of rutile RuO2 from first principles

The systematic trends of electrionic structure and optical properties of rutile (P42 /mnm) RuO2 have been calculated by using the plane-wave norm-conserving pseudopotential density functional theory (DFT) method within the generalised gradient approximation (GGA) for the exchange-correlation potential.The obtained equilibrium structure parameters are in excellent agreement with the experimental data.The calculated bulk modulus and elastic constants are also in good agreement with the experimental data and available theoretical calculations.Analysis based on electronic structure and pseudogap reveals that the bonding nature in RuO2 is a combination of covalent,ionic and metallic bonds.Based on a Kramers-Kronig analysis of the reflectivity,we have obtained the spectral dependence of the real and imaginary parts of the complex dielectric constant (ε1 and ε2,respectively) and the refractive index (n);and comparisons have shown that the theoretical results agree well with the experimental data as well.Meanwhile,we have also calculated the absorption coefficient,reflectivity index,electron energy loss function of RuO2 for radiation up to 30 eV.As a result,the predicted reflectivity index is in good agreement with the experimental data at low energies.     

Probing the improved stability for high nickel cathode via dual-element modification in lithium-ion

One of the major hurdles of nickel-rich cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries is the low cycling stability, especially at high temperature and high voltage, originating from severe structural degradation, which makes this class of cathode less practical. Herein, we compared the effect of single and dual ions on electrochemical performance of high nickel (LiNi_0.88Mn_0.03Co_0.09O₂, NMC) cathode material in different temperatures and voltage ranges. The addition of a few amounts of tantalum (0.2 wt%) and boron (0.05 wt%) lead to improved electrochemical performance. The co-modified LiNi_0.88Mn_0.03Co_0.09O₂ displays an initial discharge capacity of 234.9 mAh/g at 0.1 C and retained 208 mAh/g at 1 C after 100 cycles at 45 ℃, which corresponds to a capacity retention of 88.5%, compared to the initial discharge capacity of 234.1 mAh/g and retained capacity of 200.5 mAh/g (85.6%). The enhanced capacity retention is attributed to the synergetic effect of foreign elements by acting as a surface structural stabilizer without sacrificing specific capacity.     

Effect of Li2O doping on electrical properties of CoFe2O4

The solid–solid interactions between cobalt and ferric oxides to produce CoFe₂O₄ were followed up using XRD investigation. The effect of Li₂O-doping on the ferrite formation was also studied. The electrical and dielectric parameters of pure and doped mixed solids precalcined at 1273 K were measured using d.c and a.c instruments.The dopant concentration was varied between 0.5 and 6 mol% Li₂O. The results obtained revealed that Li₂O doping much enhanced the ferrite formation due to an increase in the mobility of the reacting species.

The addition of the smallest amount of Li₂O (0.5 mol%) resulted in measurable variations in the electrical constants (ρ, E_a, ′, ″ and tan δ). Resistivity increased upon increasing the dopant concentration up to 1.5 mol% exceeding the values measured for the undoped sample. Furthermore, the presence of 6 mol% Li₂O brought about a significant decrease of electrical resistivity. Also, the activation energy decreased with increasing the dopant concentration. The dielectric constant behaves according to ε=const. 1/ρ^1/2.

The Li₂O-doping modified the values of different dielectric constants, the change in these constants was found to be strongly dependent on the amount of Li₂O added.These results have been discussed in terms of the potentiality of Li₂O in increasing the mobility of the reacting species involved in the ferrite formation.
