Synthesis and Electrochemical Characterization of Gradient Composite LiNi1-yCoyO2 Used as Cathode Materials in Lithium-ion Battery

Gradient composites, LiNi1-yCoyO2, are synthesized from coated spherical Ni(OH)2 precursor. These composites could be applied as new cathode materials in lithium-ion batteries because they have low cobalt content (y≤0.2)and exhibit excellent properties during high-rate charge/discharge cycles. The initial discharge capacity of coated composite of LiNio.95Co0.05O2 is 186 mAh/g, and the decreasing rate of the capacity is 3.2% in 50 cycles at 1C rate. It has been verified by TEM and EDX experiments that a core-shell structure of the composite particles develops because of the cobalt enrichment near the surfaces, and the formation of the cobalt enrichment layer is sensitive to sintering temperature. High cobalt surface concentration may reduce the undesired reactions and stabilize the structure of the particles.

Development and Investigation of a NASICON‐Type High‐Voltage Cathode Material for High‐Power Sodium‐Ion Batteries

Herein, we introduce a 4.0 V class high‐voltage cathode material with a newly recognized sodium superionic conductor (NASICON)‐type structure with cubic symmetry (space group P2₁3), Na₃V(PO₃)₃N. We synthesize an N‐doped graphene oxide‐wrapped Na₃V(PO₃)₃N composite with a uniform carbon coating layer, which shows excellent rate performance and outstanding cycling stability. Its air/water stability and all‐climate performance were carefully investigated. A near‐zero volume change (ca. 0.40 %) was observed for the first time based on in situ synchrotron X‐ray diffraction, and the in situ X‐ray absorption spectra revealed the V^3.2+/V^4.2+ redox reaction with high reversibility. Its 3D sodium diffusion pathways were demonstrated with distinctive low energy barriers. Our results indicate that this high‐voltage NASICON‐type Na₃V(PO₃)₃N composite is a competitive cathode material for sodium‐ion batteries and will receive more attention and studies in the future.

Poly(2,5‐dimercapto‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole) as a Cathode for Rechargeable Lithium Batteries with Dramatically Improved Performance

Organosulfur compounds with multiple thiol groups are promising for high gravimetric energy density electrochemical energy storage. We have synthesized a poly(2,5‐dimercapto‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole) (PDMcT)/poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) composite cathode for lithium‐ion batteries with a new method and investigated its electrochemical behavior by charge/discharge cycles and cyclic voltammetry (CV) in an ether‐based electrolyte. Based on a comparison of the electrochemical performance with a carbonate‐based electrolyte, we found a much higher discharge capacity, but also a very attractive cycling performance of PDMcT by using a tetra(ethylene glycol) dimethyl ether (TEGDME)‐based electrolyte. The first discharge capacity of the as‐synthesized PDMcT/PEDOT composite approached 210 mAh g^?1 in the TEGDME‐based electrolyte. CV results clearly show that the redox reactions of PDMcT are highly reversible in this TEGDME‐based electrolyte. The reversible capacity remained around 120 mAh g^?1 after 20 charge/discharge cycles. With improved cycling performance and very low cost, PDMcT could become a very promising cathode material when combined with a TEGDME‐based electrolyte. The poor capacity in the carbonate‐based electrolyte is a consequence of the irreversible reaction of the DMcT monomer and dimer with the solvent, emphasizing the importance of electrolyte chemistry when studying molecular‐based battery materials.
