Electronic structure theory investigation on the electrochemical properties of cyclohexanone derivatives as organic carbonyl-based cathode material for lithium-ion batteries

Organic carbonyl-based compounds with redox-active site have recently gained full attention as organic cathode material in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) owing to its high cyclability, low cost, high abundance, tunability of their chemical structure compared to traditionally used inorganic material. However, the utilization of organic carbonyl-based compounds in LIBs is limited to its poor charge capacity and dissolution of lower molecular weight species in electrolytes. In this study, we theoretically investigated five set of cyclohexanone derivatives (denoted as: H₁, H₂, H₃, H₄, and H₅) and influence of functional groups (-F and -NH₂) on their electrochemical properties using advanced level density functional theory (DFT) with the Perdew-Burke-Ernzenhof hybrid functional (PBE0) at 6-31+G(d,p) basis set. In line with the result gotten, the HOMO-LUMO results revealed that compound H₅ is the most reactive among the studied cyclohexanone derivatives exhibiting energy gap values of 0.552, 0.532, 0.772 eV for free optimized structures and structurally engineered structures with electron withdrawing group (EWG) and electron donating group (EDG) respectively. Also, results from electrochemical properties of the studied compounds lithiated with only one lithium atom displayed that compound H₂ exhibited interesting redox potential and energy density for all the studied structures in free optimized state (1108.28 W h kg^?1, 4.92 V vs Li/Li⁺), with EWG (648.22 W h kg^?1, 3.313 V Li/Li⁺), and with EDG (1002.4 W h kg^?1, 5.011 V vs Li/Li⁺). From our result, we can infer that compound H₂ and H₃ with corresponding redox potential, energy density and theoretical charge capacity value of 4.92 V vs Li/Li⁺, 1108.28 W h kg^?1, 225.26 mA h g^?1 and 5.168 V, 1041.61 W h kg^?1, 201.55 mA h g^?1 lithiated with only one lithium atom in free optimized state are the most suitable compounds to be employed as organic cathode material in lithium-ion batteries among all the investigated cyclohexanone derivatives.

Synthesis and electrochemical properties of K-doped LiFePO4/C composite as cathode material for lithium-ion batteries

Li_1 − x K _x FePO₄/C (x = 0, 0.03, 0.05, and 0.07) composites were synthesized at 700 °C in an argon atmosphere by carbon thermal reduction method. Based on X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy analysis, the composite was ultrafine sphere-like particles with 100–300 nm size, and the lattice structure of LiFePO₄ was not destroyed by K doping, while the lattice volume was enlarged. The electrochemical properties were investigated by four-point probe conductivity measurements, galvanostatic charge and discharge tests, cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results indicated that the capacity performance at high rate and cyclic stability were improved by doping an appropriate amount of K, which might be ascribed to the fact that the doped K ion expands Li ion diffusion pathway. Among the doped materials, the Li_0.97K_0.03FePO₄/C samples exhibited the best electrochemical activity, with the initial discharge capacity of 153.7 mAh g⁻¹ at 0.1 C and the capacity retention rate of about 92% after 50 cycles at above 1 C, 11% higher than undoped sample. Remarkably, it still showed good cycle retention at a high current rate of 10 C.
