Olivine compounds LiFePO4 were prepared by the solid state reaction, and the electrochemical properties were studied with the composite cathode of LiFePO4/mesocarbon nanobead. High discharge rate performance can be achieved with the designed composite cathode of LiFePO4/mesocarbon nanobead. According to the experiment results, batteries with the composite cathode deliver discharge capacity of 1087mAh for 18650 type cell at 20C discharge rate at room temperature. The analysis shows that the uniformity of mesocarbon nanobead around LiFePO4 can supply enough change for electron transporting, which can enhance the rate capability for LiFePO4 cathode lithium ion batteries. It is confirmed that lithium ion batteries with LiFePO4 as cathode are suitable to electric vehicle application.

Stretchable conductors are essential components in next-generation deformable and wearable electronic devices. The ability of stretchable conductors to achieve sufficient electrical conductivity, however, remains limited under high strain, which is particularly detrimental for charge storage devices. In this study, we present stretchable conductors made from multiple layers of gradient assembled polyurethane (GAP) comprising gold nanoparticles capable of self-assembly under strain. Stratified layering affords control over the composite internal architecture at multiple scales, leading to metallic conductivity in both the lateral and transversal directions under strains of as high as 300%. The unique combination of the electrical and mechanical properties of GAP electrodes enables the development of a stretchable lithium-ion battery with a charge-discharge rate capability of 100 mAh g−1 at a current density of 0.5 A g−1 and remarkable cycle retention of 96% after 1000 cycles. The hierarchical GAP nanocomposites afford rapid fabrication of advanced charge storage devices.

The lithium-ion battery is widely and increasingly used in many portable electronic devices and high-power systems in the modern society. Currently, it is significant to develop excellent cathode materials to meet stringent standards for batteries. In this paper, recent developments were reviewed for several typical cathode materials with high voltages and good capacities. These cathode materials referred to LiCoO2, LiNiO2, LiMn2O4, LiMPO4 (M=Fe, Mn, Co and Ni, et al), and their composites. The technical bottlenecks about the cathode material is required to be conquered. For instance, LiCoO2 and LiNiO2 have high coulombic capacity and good cycling characteristics, but are costly and exhibit poor thermal stability. Simultaneously, LiMn2O4 exhibit good thermal stability, high voltage and high rate capability, but have low capacity. Thus it is advantageous to produce a composite which shares the benefits of both materials. The composite cathode material is superior over any single electrode material because the former has more balanced performance, and therefore, is promising to manufacture the next generation of batteries.
