Nitrogen-doped graphene (N-rGO) was synthesized in the process of preparation of reduced graphene oxide from the expanded graphite through the improved Hummers’ method. The morphology, structure and composition of nitrogen-doped graphene oxide (GO) and N-rGO were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The nitrogen content of N-rGO was approximately 5 at.%. The electrochemical performances of N-rGO as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries were evaluated in coin-type cells versus metallic lithium. Results showed that the obtained N-rGO exhibited a higher reversible specific capacity of 519 mAh g-1 at a current density of 100 mA⋅g-1 and 207.5 mAh⋅g-1 at a current density of 2000 mA⋅g-1. The excellent cycling stability and high-rate capability of N-rGO as anodes of lithium-ion battery were attributed to the large number of surface defects caused by the nitrogen doping, which facilitates the fast transport of Li-ion and electron on the interface of electrolyte/electrode.

Abstract Transition metal oxides as anode materials have received extensive research owing to the high specific capacity. Whereas, the rapid decline of battery capacity caused by volume expansion and low electrical conductivity hinders the practical application of transition metal oxides. This study reported a pseudo-capacitance material polypyrrole coated Fe2O3/Mn2O3 composites material as a high stability anode for lithium-ion batteries. The polypyrrole coating layer can not only serve as a conductive network to improve electrode conductivity but also can be used as a protective buffer layer to suppress the volume change of Fe2O3/Mn2O3 during the charging and discharging process. At the same time, the porous structure of Fe2O3/Mn2O3 composite can not only provide more active sites for lithium storage but also play a certain buffer effect on the volume change of the material. Polypyrrole-coated Fe2O3/Mn2O3 composite as the anode for lithium-ion batteries shows great electrochemical storage performance, with high specific capacity (627 mAh g− 1 at a current density of 1A g− 1), great cycle stability (the capacity not shows obvious signs of attenuation after 500 cycles) and rate performance (432 mAh g− 1 at a current density of 2.0 A g− 1).

Electrochemical properties of defect-introduces graphenes for lithium ion batteries were investigated. Graphene sheets (GSs) were prepared from graphite through treating with oxidizing agent followed by rapid thermal exfoliation. Defect concentration was controlled by selecting the number of times of oxidation of graphite. GSs electrodes derived from 1, 2 and 3 times-oxidized graphite oxides exhibited a high charge capacity of 1250, 1790 and 2310 mAh g1, respectively, at the 20th cycle at a current density of 100 mA g1. The enhanced capacity is assumed to be due to additional lithium storage sites such as defects and edges.

Abstract Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are considered new generation of large-scale energy-storage devices. However, LIBs suffer from a lack of desirable anode materials with excellent specific capacity and cycling stability. In this work, we design a novel hierarchical structure constructed by encapsulating cobalt sulfide nanowires within nitrogen-doped porous branched carbon nanotubes (NBNTs) for LIBs. The unique hierarchical Co9S8@NBNT electrode displayed a reversible specific capacity of 1310 mAh g−1 at a current density of 0.1 A g−1, and was able to maintain a stable reversible discharge capacity of 1109 mAh g−1 at a current density of 0.5 A g−1 with coulombic efficiency reaching almost 100% for 200 cycles. The excellent rate and cycling capabilities can be ascribed to the hierarchical porosity of the one-dimensional Co9S8@NBNT internetworks, the incorporation of nitrogen doping, and the carbon nanotube confinement of the active cobalt sulfide nanowires offering a proximate electron pathway for the isolated nanoparticles and shielding of the cobalt sulfide nanowires from pulverization over long cycling periods.

Silicon nanoparticles have extraordinary electrochemical performance for lithium-ion batteries. This paper gives an improved low temperature solution synthesis route of Si NPs. Reduced by magnesium and then passivated by four kinds of amines/amides respectively, stable yellow Si NPs ranging from 5-50 nm were prepared. When passivated by N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, grape-like aggregation of 5-20 nm particles were generated. FTIR, XRD, SEM and Electrochemical Characterization were performed to confirm the product. The Si NPs passivated by NMP achieve good electrochemical performance with a first discharge capacity of 1154 mAhg-1at a current density of 200 mAg-1and good capacity retention of 95.3% after 5 cycles.

Heavy-phosphorus-doped silicon anodes were fabricated on CuO nanorods for application in high power lithium-ion batteries. Since the conductivity of lithiated CuO is significantly better than that of CuO, after the first discharge, the voltage cut-off window was then set to the range covering only the discharge–charge range of Si. Thus, the CuO core was in situ lithiated and acts merely as the electronic conductor in the following cycles. The Si anode presented herein exhibited a capacity of 990 mAh/g at the rate of 9 A/g after 100 cycles. The anode also presented a stable rate performance even at a current density as high as 20 A/g.

The three-dimensional (3D) graphene networks have been prepared by annealing the mixture of graphene oxide and SiO 2 nanoparticles and then etching SiO 2. The obtained material was characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscopy, which revealed that 3D networks consisting of crumpled graphene nanosheets were preserved after the removal of SiO 2. When used as anode material of lithium ion batteries, the graphene networks showed a reversible capacity of 610.9 mAh/g at a current density of 50 mA/g after 50 cycles and excellent rate capability of 291.5 mAh/g at a current density of 5000 mA/g. The good electrochemical performance can be attributed to the network structure, which enables graphene to electrochemically absorb more lithium ions and significantly improve the electrical conductivity of electrode. The graphene networks have the potential applications in ultracapacitor and catalyst supports.
