Porous V2O5-SnO2/CNTs composites as high performance cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries

Vanadium pentoxide (V₂O₅) exhibits high theoretical capacities when used as a cathode in lithium ion batteries (LIBs), but its application is limited by its structural instability as well as its low lithium and electronic conductivities. A porous composite of V₂O₅-SnO₂/carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was prepared by a hydrothermal method and followed by thermal treatment. The small particles of V₂O₅, their porous structure and the coexistence of SnO₂ and CNTs can all facilitate the diffusion rates of the electrons and lithium ions. Electrochemical impedance spectra indicated higher ionic and electric conductivities, as compared to commercial V₂O₅. The V₂O₅-SnO₂/CNTs composite gave a reversible discharge capacity of 198 mAh·g^?1 at the voltage range of 2.05–4.0 V, measured at a current rate of 200 mA·g^?1, while that of the commercial V₂O₅ was only 88 mAh·g^?1, demonstrating that the porous V₂O₅-SnO₂/CNTs composite is a promising candidate for high-performance lithium secondary batteries.     

Effect of Precursor Drying Process on the Properties of LiFePO4/C Composite with Low Carbon Content

<正>Properties of two LiFePO_4/C composites with low carbon content synthesized from precursors dried by spray drying and blast drying are investigated by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and electrochemical measurements. The two samples have a different morphology and particle size, while the structure of LiFePO_4 is unaffected. The LiFePO_4/C composite prepared from the precursor dried by blast drying has a much lower surface resistance and a much better rate capability because the deposited carbon is more graphite-like and more conductive. The cycling performance is also much better for the LiFePO_4/C composite prepared from the precursor dried by blast drying because only a slight impedance growth is involved upon cycling. These results suggest that the precursor drying process has a significant impact on the properties of LiFePO_4/C composite, and its effect is highly dependent on the carbon content.     

Synthesis and electrochemical characteristics of xLi2MnO3–(1−x)Li(Mn0.375Ni0.375Co0.25)O2 (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 1.0) thin film cathode for lithium rechargeable micro batteries

We have compared the structure, microstructure, and electrochemical characteristics of xLi₂MnO₃–(1−x)Li(Mn_0.375Ni_0.375Co_0.25)O₂ (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 1.0) thin films with their bulk cathode laminate counterparts of identical compositions. Pure Li(Mn_0.375Ni_0.375Co_0.25)O₂ as well as the synthesized composite films partially transform into cubic spinel structure during charge–discharge cycling. In contrast, such layered to spinel phase transformation has only been identified in bulk cathode laminates with x ≥ 0.75. At a current density 0.05 mAcm⁻², the discharge capacity of Li(Mn_0.375Ni_0.375Co_0.25)O₂ thin film was measured to be ∼60 μAhcm⁻². The discharge capacity (∼217 μAhcm⁻²) was markedly improved in x∼0.5 composite thin film. The capacity retention after 20 charge discharge cycles are improved in composite films; however, their capacity fading could not be eliminated completely.     

3D amorphous carbon and graphene co-modified LiFePO4 composite derived from polyol process as electrode for high power lithium-ion batteries

Amorphous carbon and graphene co-modified LiFePO_4 nanocomposite has been synthesized via a facile polyol process in connection with a following thermal treatment.Various characterization techniques,including XRD.Mossbauer spectra,Raman spectra,SEM,TEM,BET,O_2-TPO,galvano charge-discharge,CV and EIS were applied to investigate the phase composition,carbon content,morphological structure and electrochemical performance of the synthesized samples.The effect of introducing way of carbon sources on the properties and performance of LiFePO_4/C/graphene composite was paid special attention.Under optimized synthetic conditions,highly crystalized olivine-type LiFePO_4was successfully obtained with electron conductive Fe_2P and FeP as the main impurity phases.SEM and TEM analyses demonstrated the graphene sheets were randomly distributed inside the sample to create an open structured LiFePO_4 with respect to graphene,while the glucosederived carbon mainly coated over LiFeP04 particles which effectively connected the graphene sheets and LiFePO_4 particles to result in a more efficient charge transfer process.As a result,favorable electrochemical performance was achieved.The performance of the amorphous carbon-graphene co-modified LiFePO_4 was further progressively improved upon cycling in the first 200 cycles to reach a reversible specificcapacity as high as 97 mAh·g~(-1) at 10 C rate.

基于钴酸锂载体构筑高体积比容量硫基复合材料

锂-硫电池具有高的理论质量/体积能量密度,因而成为最具发展潜力的高比能二次电池体系. 然而,由于硫载体通常采用轻质的碳纳米材料,导致硫基复合材料的振实密度和体积比容量均偏低,制约了电池体积能量密度的提升. 本文尝试采用具有高密度特征的钴酸锂(LiCoO₂)作为硫的载体材料,以构筑高振实密度的硫基复合材料,进而提高硫正极的体积比容量. 研究显示,LiCoO₂对可溶性多硫化物具有较强的吸附作用,能够促进硫的电化学转化,因而提高了硫的活性物质利用率和循环稳定性. 同时,由于具有高的振实密度(1.90 g·cm^-3),S/LiCoO₂复合材料的首周体积比容量高达1750.5 mAh·cm^-3,是常规硫/碳复合材料的2.2倍. 因此,本文利用具有高密度特征的LiCoO₂作为硫载体来提升硫复合材料的体积比容量,有助于实现锂-硫电池的高体积能量密度.
