The Impact

In this work, we investigated three types of graphene (i.e., home-made G, G V4, and G V20) with different size and morphology, as additives to a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode for the lithium-ion battery. Both the LFP and the two types of graphene (G V4 and G V20) were sourced from industrial, large-volume manufacturers, enabling cathode production at low cost. The use of wrinkled and/or large pieces of a graphene matrix shows promising electrochemical performance when used as an additive to the LFP, which indicates that the features of large and curved graphene pieces enable construction of a more effective conducting network to realize the full potential of the active materials. Specifically, compared to pristine LFP, the LFP/G, LFP/G V20, and LFP/G V4 show up to a 9.2%, 6.9%, and 4.6% increase, respectively, in a capacity at 1 C. Furthermore, the LFP combined with graphene exhibits a better rate performance than tested with two different charge/discharge modes. Moreover, from the economic and electrochemical performance view point, we also demonstrated that 1% of graphene content is optimized no matter the capacity calculated, based on the LFP/graphene composite or pure LFP.

A Current

ZnMn2O4 nanoparticles (NPs) wrapped by reduced graphene oxide (rGO) were fabricated via a two-step solvothermal method and used as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Compared to pure ZnMn2O4, the ZnMn2O4 NPs/rGO composites deliver higher capacities of 1230 mAh g−1 and 578 mAh g−1 after 200 cycles at a current density of 100 mA g−1 and 500 mA g−1, respectively. The enhanced electrochemical performance of ZnMn2O4 NPs/rGO composites is mainly attributed to a distinctive structure (ZnMn2O4 NPs surrounded by flexible rGO), which can promote the diffusion of Li+, accelerate the transport of electrons and buffer volume expansion during the Li+ insertion/extraction process. Furthermore, the rGO sheets can effectively prevent the agglomeration of ZnMn2O4 NPs, thus, improving structural stability of the composites. The excellent electrochemical performance indicates that such ZnMn2O4 NPs/rGO composite structure has a great potential for high-performance LIBs.
