Improving the stability of LiNi_(0.80)Co_(0.15)Al_(0.05)O_2 by AlPO_4 nanocoating for lithium-ion batteries

Nickel-rich layered materials,such as LiNi_(0.8)0Co_(0.15)Al_(0.05)O_2(NCA),have been considered as one alternative cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries(LIBs) due to their high capacity and low cost.However,their poor cycle life and low thermal stability,caused by the electrode/electrolyte side reaction,prohibit their prosperity in practical application.Herein,AlPO4 has been homogeneously coated on the surface of NCA via wet chemical method towards the target of protecting NCA from the attack of electrolyte.Compared with the bare NCA,NCA@AlPO_4 electrode delivers high capacity without sacrificing the discharge capacity and excellent cycling stability.After 150 cycles at 0.5 C between 3.0-4.3 V,the capacity retention of the coated material is 86.9%,much higher than that of bare NCA(66.8%).Furthermore,the thermal stability of cathode is much improved due to the protection of the uniform coating layer on the surface of NCA.These results suggest that AlPO4 coated NCA materials could act as one promising candidate for next-generation LIBs with high energy density in the near future.

Design of hierarchical and mesoporous FeF3/rGO hybrids as cathodes for superior lithium-ion batteries

Iron fluoride (FeF₃) is considered as a promising cathode material for Li-ion batteries (LIBs) due to its high theoretical capacity (712 mAh/g) with a 3e^? transfer. Herein, we have designed a strategy of hierarchical and mesoporous FeF₃/rGO hybrids for LIBs, where the hollow FeF₃ nanospheres are the main contributor to the specific capacity and the 2D rGO nanosheets are the matrix elevating the electronic conductivity and buffering the volume expansion. The unique FeF₃/rGO hybrid can be rationally synthesized by a non-aqueous in-situ precipitation method, offering the merits of large specific surface area with rich active sites, fast transport channels for lithium ions, effective alleviation of volume expansion during cycles, and accelerating the electrochemical reaction kinetics. The FeF₃/rGO hybrid electrode possesses a high initial discharge capacity of 553.9 mAh/g at a rate of 0.5 C with 378 mAh/g after 100 cycles, acceptable rate capability with 168 mAh/g at 2 C, and feasible high-temperature operation (320 mAh/g at 70 °C). The superior electrochemical behaviors presented here demonstrates that the FeF₃/rGO hybrid is a potential electrode for LIBs, which may open up a new vision to design high-efficiency energy-storage devices such as LIBs based on transition metal fluorides.     

Hierarchical Surface Atomic Structure of a Manganese‐Based Spinel Cathode for Lithium‐Ion Batteries

The increasing use of lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) in high‐power applications requires improvement of their high‐temperature electrochemical performance, including their cyclability and rate capability. Spinel lithium manganese oxide (LiMn₂O₄) is a promising cathode material because of its high stability and abundance. However, it exhibits poor cycling performance at high temperatures owing to Mn dissolution. Herein we show that when stoichiometric lithium manganese oxide is coated with highly doped spinels, the resulting epitaxial coating has a hierarchical atomic structure consisting of cubic‐spinel, tetragonal‐spinel, and layered structures, and no interfacial phase is formed. In a practical application of the coating to doped spinel, the material retained 90 % of its capacity after 800 cycles at 60 °C. Thus, the formation of an epitaxial coating with a hierarchical atomic structure could enhance the electrochemical performance of LIB cathode materials while preventing large losses in capacity.

Enhancing the Electrochemical Performance of a High-Voltage LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 Cathode in a Carbonate-Based Electrolyte with a Novel and Low-Cost Functional Additive

Butyric anhydride (BA) is used as an effective functional additive to improve the electrochemical performance of a high-voltage LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ (LNMO) cathode. In the presence of 0.5 wt % BA, the capacity retention of a LNMO/Li cell is significantly improved from 15.3 to 88.4 % after 200 cycles at 1 C. Furthermore, the rate performance of the LNMO/Li cell is also effectively enhanced, and the capacity goes up to 112 mAh g⁻¹ even at 5 C, which is considerably higher than that of a LNMO/Li cell in electrolyte without BA additive (95.4 mAh g⁻¹ at 5 C). Linear sweep voltammetry and cyclic voltammetry results reveal that the BA additive can be preferentially oxidized to construct a stable cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) film on the LNMO cathode. Subsequently, the BA-derived CEI film can alleviate the decomposition of the electrolyte and the dissolution of Mn and Ni ions from the LNMO cathode as well as maintain the structural stability of LNMO during the cycling process; this leads to outstanding electrochemical performance. Thus, this work provides an effective and low-cost functional electrolyte for high-voltage LNMO-based LIBs.

One-Step Calcination Synthesis of Bulk-Doped Surface-Modified Ni-Rich Cathodes with Superlattice for Long-Cycling Li-Ion Batteries

Nickel-rich (Ni≥90 %) layered cathodes are critical materials for achieving higher-energy-density and lower-cost next-generation Li-ion batteries (LIBs). However, their bulk and interface structural instabilities significantly impair their electrochemical performance, thus hindering their widespread adoption in commercial LIBs. Exploiting Ti and Mo diffusion chemistry, we report one-step calcination to synthesize bulk-to-surface modified LiNi_0.9Co_0.09Mo_0.01O₂ (NCMo90) featuring a 5 nm Li₂TiO₃ coating on the surface, a Mo-rich Li⁺/Ni²⁺ superlattice at the sub-surface, and Ti-doping in the bulk. Such a multi-functional structure effectively maintains its structural integrity upon cycling. As a result, such NCMo90 exhibits a high initial capacity of 221 mAh g⁻¹ at 0.1 C, excellent rate performance (184 mAh g⁻¹ at 5 C), and high capacity retention of 94.0 % after 500 cycles. This work opens a new avenue to developing industry-applicable Ni-rich cathodes for next-generation LIBs.

Agar-derived nitrogen-doped porous carbon as anode for construction of cost-effective lithium-ion batteries

Balancing cost and performance of porous carbon (PC) as anode for lithium-ion battery (LIBs) is the key to effectively promote commercial application. Herein, low-cost N-doped PC (NPC-Ts, T = 600, 750 and 900 °C) were facilely prepared in batches via one-pot pyrolysis of agar with different carbonization temperature. The NPC-750 with specific surface area of 2914 m²/g and N content of 2.84% exhibits an ultrahigh reversible capacity of 1019 mAh/g at 0.1 A/g after 100 cycles and 837 mAh/g at 1 A/g after 500 cycles. Remarkably, the resulting LIBs exhibit an ultrafast charge-discharge feature with a remarkable capacity of 281 mAh/g at 10 A/g and a superlong cycle life with a capacity retention of 87% after 5000 cycles at 10 A/g.

Surface treatment of LiFePO4 cathode material with PPy/PEG conductive layer

In this work, we studied LiFePO₄ particles coated with thin films of highly conductive polypyrrole (PPy) and their electrochemical performance in cathode layers of lithium cells. Carbon-free LiFePO₄ particles were synthesized by a solvothermal method. Besides this, a part of the experiments were carried out on commercial carbon-coated LiFePO₄ for comparison. Polypyrrole coated LiFePO₄ particles (PPy-LiFePO₄) were obtained by a straightforward oxidative polymerization of dissolved pyrrole on LiFePO₄ particles dispersed in water. The use of polyethylene glycol (PEG) as an additive during the polymerization was decisive to achieve high electronic conductivities in the final cathode layers. The carbon-free and carbon-coated LiFePO₄ particles were prepared with PPy and with PPy/PEG coating. The obtained PPy-LiFePO₄ and PPy/PEG-LiFePO₄ powders were characterized by SEM, EIS, cyclic voltammetry, and galvanostatic charge/discharge measurements in lithium-ion cells with lithium metal as counter and reference electrode. Carbon-free LiFePO₄ coated with PPy/PEG hybrid films exhibited very good electrode kinetics and a stable discharge capacity of 156 mAh/g at a rate of C/10. Impedance measurements showed that the PPy/PEG coating decreases the charge-transfer resistance of the corresponding LiFePO₄ cathode material very effectively, which was attributed to a favorable mixed ionic and electronic conductivity of the PPy/PEG coatings.
