碳包覆LiFePO4的一步固相法制备及高温电化学性能

Carbon coated LiFePO₄ cathode material was synthesized by one-step solid-state reaction and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission-scanning electron microscope (FESEM). Electrochemical performances of the material as cathode in lithium-ion battery were investigated at medium and elevated temperature (30 and 55 ℃) by galvanostatic charge-discharge and A.C. impedance tests. The results show that carbon coated LiFePO₄ powder exhibits a well-crystallized olivine structure and spherical morphology with an average particle size of about 500 nm. Galvanostatic charge-discharge tests show that the reversible discharge capacity at 1 C and 1.5 C rates was improved from 121 and 105 mAh·g^-1 at 30 ℃ to 136 and 123 mAh·g^-1 at 55℃, respectively, while the enhancement of high temperature on electrochemical performance is less obvious at a rate lower than 0.5 C. Impedance spectra analyses indicate that the cathode material has a remarkably higher lithium-ion diffusivity at 55 ℃ than that at 30 ℃, which improves the electrochemical performance at high temperature.     

Electrochemical kinetics of nanosized Ag and Ag2O thin films prepared by radio frequency magnetron sputtering

Ag and Ag₂O thin films have been prepared by radio frequency magnetron sputtering on Cu substrates and have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope and atomic force microscope. The electrochemical performance of the thin films has been studied by galvanostatic cycling and cyclic voltammetry. The potential dependence of Li-ion chemical diffusion coefficients, [(D)\tilde]_\textLi {\widetilde{D}_{\text{Li}}} , of the films has been determined by galvanostatic intermittent titration technique and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. It is found that Li-ion chemical diffusion coefficients of the Ag film range from 10⁻¹⁶ to 3 × 10⁻¹⁴ cm² s⁻¹. The Ag/Li₂O composite that is formed from Ag₂O after the first cycle exhibits higher [(D)\tilde]_\textLi {\widetilde{D}_{\text{Li}}} values than the Ag film, especially at a low Li-intercalation content. The phase transitions in the two-phase region cause a significant decrease of chemical diffusion coefficients.

LiMnPO₄, with a particle size of 50–150 nm, was prepared by oleic acid-assisted solid-state reaction.
