Excess capacity on compound phases of Li2FeTiO4 composite cathode materials synthesized by hydrothermal reaction using optional titanium sources to boost battery performance

Li₂FeTiO₄ composites have been produced using commercial LiAC, FeCl₂ and different titanium sources by hydrothermal synthesis (HS) at 175 °C and subsequent annealing at 700 °C. Impure phase TiO₂, Fe₂O₃ and FeTiO₄ were detected out among the Li₂FeTiO₄ composites with different titanium sources. Micron and nano-sized particles of Li₂FeTiO₄ were prepared from various titanium raw materials, with nano-sized particles predominating when titanium raw materials were layered hydrogen titanate nanowire (H₂Ti₃O₇NW, HTO-NW) and titanium oxide nanotubes (TiO₂NB). The Li₂FeTiO₄ composites synthesized by HTO-NW shows a primary particle size of 50−200 nm of high crystallinity staggered with undissolved nanowire with a diameter size of about 100 nm. The samples using one-dimensional nanometer titanium oxide (TiO₂ NB) as the raw material can get a super high initial discharge capacity of 367.8 mAh/g at the rate of C/10 and excellent cycling stability. The selection of raw materials and adopting multi-phase modification can be considered as an effective strategy to improve the electro-chemical properties of Li₂FeTiO₄ composite cathode materials for the lithium secondary battery.     

Synthesis and study of Bi2Ti2O7/TiO2 composites as efficient visible-light-active photocatalysts in the reduction of aqueous Cr(VI)

In this work, Bi_2Ti_2O_7/TiO_2 composites were synthesized and studied as potential visible-light-activated photocatalysts in the reduction of aqueous Cr(VI). Bi_2Ti_2O_7/TiO_2 composites with tunable compositions were synthesized via a solvothermal-calcination two-step method, simply by changing the molar ratios of Bi(NO_3)_3·5H_2O to tetrabutyl titanate in the reactants. The compositions, structures and optical properties of the as-synthesized Bi_2Ti_2O_7/TiO_2 composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy and UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectra. The photocatalytic activity of the as-synthesized Bi_2Ti_2O_7/TiO_2 composites was tested in the reduction of aqueous Cr(VI)under visible-light(λ420 nm) irradiation, and compared with that of TiO_2 nanoparticles. It was observed that the as-synthesized Bi_2Ti_2O_7/TiO_2 composites exhibited much higher photocatalytic activity than TiO_2 nanoparticles, and the most efficient composite(300 mg) can achieve the complete reduction of Cr(VI) in 300 mL of 50 mg/L K_2Cr_2O_7 aqueous solution under visible-light(λ420 nm)irradiation in 90 min.

Effect of carbon nanotubes addition on electrochemical performance and thermal stability of Li4Ti5O12 anode in commercial LiMn2O4/Li4Ti5O12 full-cell

Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ (LTO)/carbon nanotubes (CNTs) composite material is synthesized based on a solid-state method by sand-milling, spray-drying and calcining at 850 ℃ under N₂ flow. The LTO/CNTs samples with 1 wt% and 3 wt% weight ratio of CNTs addition and the pristine LTO sample are prepared. The rate performance and the thermal stability of these samples are investigated based on LiMn₂O₄ (LMO)/LTO full-cell. The results show that theweight ratio of CNTs addition has distinct effect on LTO performances. The composite materials of LTO composited CNTs have better performance at high-rate due to the intercalation enhancement by conductive network of CNTs. At second, the overcharging temperature response of the cell's surface with 1 wt% CNTs addition is the lowest. The particle size distribution is measured and the most uniform particles are obtained with 1 wt% CNTs addition. This trend could explain that the mediumquantity of CNTs is optimal to improve the heat and mass transfer and prevent the problems of crystallite growing interference and aggregation during the calcination process.

锂盐及制备工艺对固态电解质Li7La3Zr2O12成相的影响研究

石榴石型Li₇La₃Zr₂O₁₂(LLZO)离子导电性高,在全固态锂离子电池中具有潜在的应用价值。但目前报道的LLZO制备工艺烧结温度范围宽,稳定性差,不利于宏量制备。本文以烧结产物物相结构和结晶度为考察指标,系统研究了锂源及用量、烧结温度、烧结时间等因素对LLZO成相的影响。结果表明,当以分解温度较低的锂盐(LiNO₃)为原料时,在800℃下得到四方相LLZO,900℃时呈立方相LLZO;当以分解温度较高的锂盐(Li₂CO₃)为原料时,900℃才能形成四方相LLZO。烧结时间的延长和温度升高均会导致锂的挥发损失,影响LLZO物相的形成。通过增加锂盐用量、改变烧结前驱体聚集特性与烧结时间可抑制锂的挥发。当以过量10%的Li₂CO₃为原料时,900℃烧结6h可稳定的得到立方相LLZO。该研究较为系统地分析了制备工艺对LLZO成相的影响,可为LLZO宏量稳定制备提供借鉴。

Solid state synthesis of lithiated manganese oxides from mechanically activated Li2CO3–Mn3O4 mixtures

The solid state formation of lithium manganese oxides has been studied from the thermal decomposition of mixtures Li₂CO₃–Mn₃O₄ with X_Li (lithium cationic fraction)=0.33 (LiMn₂O₄), 0.50 (LiMnO₂) and 0.66 (Li₂MnO₃). The analysis of the reactivity has been performed mainly by thermoanalytical (TG/DSC) and diffractometric (XRPD) techniques either on physical mixtures and on mixtures subjected to mechanical activation by high energy milling. At X_Li=0.33, the cubic lithium manganese spinel oxide (LiMn₂O₄) forms in air. TG measurements showed that the reaction starts at a considerably lower temperature in the activated mixture. By variable temperature X-ray diffraction it has been assessed that, upon mechanical activation, LiMn₂O₄ forms directly and its formation is completed within 700 °C whereas, starting from a physical mixture, the formation goes through Mn₂O₃ and is complete only at 800 °C. At T>820 °C LiMn₂O₄ reversibly decomposes to LiMnO₂ and Mn₃O₄ with an enthalpy of 30.05 kJ mol⁻¹ of LiMn₂O₄. At X_Li=0.50, by annealing under nitrogen flow for 6 h at 650 °C the activated mixture, the orthorhombic LiMnO₂ is formed. Such a formation goes through a mixture of LiMnO₂ and LiMn₂O₄. The enthalpy of LiMnO₂ solid state formation from the activated mixture has been determined to be 57.4 kJ mol⁻¹ of LiMnO₂. At X_Li=0.66 in air the mechanical activation considerably lowers the temperature within the monoclinic phase Li₂MnO₃ forms. Besides the reaction enthalpy could be determined as 40.13 kJ mol⁻¹ of Li₂MnO₃. The reaction, when performed under nitrogen flow, goes through the formation of LiMnO₂. Such a first stage of the reaction is affected by the temperature of reaction rather than by mechanical activation. The activation greatly enhances the second stage of the reaction leading from LiMnO₂ to Li₂MnO₃.

The non-isothermal devitrification of Li2O·TiO2·6GeO2 glass

The effect of a partial replacing of GeO₂ by TiO₂ structure and non-isothermal devitrification of lithium heptagermanate glass, examined by Fourier transform infrared spectra, differential thermal analysis and X-ray diffraction, is reported and discussed. The structure and the glass-transition temperature are not affected by the substitution of GeO₂ by TiO₂ but the investigated glass, unlike lithium heptagermanate glass, devitrifies only from the surface into a crystalline phase isomorphous with Li₂Ge₇O₁₅ crystals. The validity of the Arrhenius-type relationship between the rate constant of crystal growth and the absolute temperature is also discussed.     

Preparation of mesophase pitch doped with TiO2 or TiC particles

The co-pyrolysis of a petroleum residue with two different sources of titanium (tetrabutyl-ortotitanate (TBO) or titanium carbide nano-powder) was carried out to obtain mesophase pitches containing TiO₂ or TiC nanoparticles. Co-pyrolysis is an appropriate technique to achieve a good dispersion and low particle size. In the case of TBO, TiO₂ nanoparticles (5–20 nm) are observed, which are forming aggregates, the largest of them being 1–2 μm. In the case of TiC nano-particles, they are more difficult to disperse and larger aggregates are formed, although the final material is rather homogenous. The chemistry of pyrolysis for the production of doped and undoped mesophase pitches has been followed by means of solvent insolubility, XRD, XPS, FTIR and elemental analysis. They show evidences of promotion of the formation of mesophase in the presence of the titanium-containing particles, especially in the presence of TiO₂. The final materials can be of great value as precursors to produce high density titanium doped graphites for nuclear and space applications.
