ABSTRACTLiNi1−xCoxO2(x=0.2, 0.3, 0.4) was synthesized through a sintering process from two different types of source materials of nickel and cobalt, namely each respective hydroxide and oxide, and composite hydroxide. Influence of the difference on charge-discharge characteristics, crystal structure and distribution of the metal elements was investigated.The composite hydroxides formulated in Ni1−xCox(OH)2 as the source material brought better homogenized composite lithiated nickel based metal oxides exhibiting the larger specific discharge capacity. Further modification of LiNi0.6Co0.4)2 by manganese through sintering from the composite hydroxide including manganese brought a good charge-discharge cycle performance as well as a high discharge capacity of 160mAh/g level.A cylindrical test cell of 18mm in diameter and 65mm in height using the LiNi0.6Co0.3Mn0.1O2 exhibited discharge capacity of 1700mAh which is larger than that using LiCoO2, and also exhibited a competitive charge-discharge cycle performance to commercialized lithium ion batteries.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) possess excellent structural and electronic properties and have been widely investigated as anode materials. Covalent modification of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with organosilica-containing polyoxometalate (POM) leads to the formation of the nanocomposite CNTs–SiW11 with high discharge capacity, good capacity retention and cycling stability.

Surface modification on the electrode has a vital impact on lithium-ion batteries, and it is essential to probe the mechanism of the modified film on the surface of the electrode. In this study, a Li2O-2B2O3 film was coated on the surface of the cathode material by solution method. The cathode powders derived from co-precipitation method were calcined with various weight percent of the surface modified glass to form fine powder of single spinel phase with different particle size, size distribution and morphology. The thermogravimetry/differential thermal analysis was used to evaluate the appropriate heat treatment temperature. The structure was confirmed by the X-ray diffractometer along with the composition measured by the electron probe microanalyzer. From the field emission scanning electron microscope image and Laser Scattering measurements, the average particle size was in the range of 7-8µm. The electrochemical behavior of the cathode powder was examined by using two-electrode test cells consisted of a cathode, metallic lithium anode, and an electrolyte of 1M LiPF6. Cyclic charge/discharge testing of the coin cells, fabricated by both coated and un-coated cathode material, provided high discharge capacity. Furthermore, the coated cathode powder showed better cyclability than the un-coated one after the cyclic test. The introduction of the glass-coated cathode material revealed high discharge capacity and appreciably decreased the decay rate after cyclic test.

ABSTRACTTin(Sn) and its alloys have been attracting attentions as a negative electrode material for sodium-ion secondary batteries with high theoretical capacity (Na15Sn4, ca. 847 mAh/g) and high electromotiveforce. There still remains the issue as regards the discharge capacity decrease with increasing the number of cycles. In order to improve cycle performance, there are many studies such as using Sn-Ni alloy, however, using Sn based alloy as negative electrode materials and it suffer from the disadvantage of lowering of discharge capacity. In this study, a deposition process for making Sn film which consists of amorphous structure for negative electrode of sodium ion secondary batteries utilizing electordeposition from aqueous bath was developed. The effect of additives on the surface morphology and microstructure of Sn film was investigated. Furthermore, we evaluated the effect of amorphous structure in the Sn film on cycle performance of the Sn negative electrode. Sn film has a good cycle characteristic (>50 cycles) and discharge capacity (> 400 mAh/g). Amorphous structure in the Sn film showed a microscopic effect on the volume change by sodiation and desodiation.
