Lithium-ion hybrid capacitors (LICs) are regarded as one of the most promising next generation energy storage devices. Commercial activated carbon materials with low cost and excellent cycling stability are widely used as cathode materials for LICs, however, their low energy density remains a significant challenge for the practical applications of LICs. Herein, Na0.76V6O15 nanobelts (NaVO) were prepared and combined with commercial activated carbon YP50D to form hybrid cathode materials. Credit to the synergism of its capacitive effect and diffusion-controlled faradaic effect, NaVO/C hybrid cathode displays both superior cyclability and enhanced capacity. LICs were assembled with the as-prepared NaVO/C hybrid cathode and artificial graphite anode which was pre-lithiated. Furthermore, 10-NaVO/C//AG LIC delivers a high energy density of 118.9 Wh kg−1 at a power density of 220.6 W kg−1 and retains 43.7 Wh kg−1 even at a high power density of 21,793.0 W kg−1. The LIC can also maintain long-term cycling stability with capacitance retention of approximately 70% after 5000 cycles at 1 A g−1. Accordingly, hybrid cathodes composed of commercial activated carbon and a small amount of high energy battery-type materials are expected to be a candidate for low-cost advanced LICs with both high energy density and power density.

High energy density and rechargeable lithium ion batteries are attracting widely interest in renewable energy fields. The preparation of the high performance materials for electrodes has been regarded as the most challenging and innovative aspect. By utilizing a facile combustion synthesis method, pure nanostructure LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 cathode material for lithium ion batteries were successfully fabricated. The crystal phase of the samples were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction, and micro-morphology as well as electrochemistry properties were also evaluated using FE-SEM, electrochemical charge-discharge test. The result shows the fabricated LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 cathode materials had outstanding crystallinity and near-spherical morphologies. That obtained LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 samples delivered an initial discharge capacity of 137.2 mAhg-1 at the 0.1 C together with excellent cycling stability and rate capability as positive electrodes in a lithium cell. The superior electrochemical performance of the as-prepared samples are owing to nanostructure particles possessing the shorter diffusion path for Li+ transport, and the nanostructure lead to large contact area to effectively improve the charge/discharge properties and the rate property. It is demonstrated that the as-prepared nanostructure LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 samples have potential as cathode materials of lithium-ion battery for future new energy vehicles.

Lithium-rich manganese-based layered oxides are of great interest as cathode materials for lithium ion batteries due to their high energy density. The voltage decay and capacity fading during prolonged charge/discharge cycling are the key obstacles for their practical usage. In this work, using density functional theory, we investigated the origin of the Ni surface segregation by calculating the defect formation energies of antisite defects, including Ni cation substituting a Li cation [Formula: see text] and pairs of Ni cation swapping with Li cation ([Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text]) in [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] to represent the Mn-rich, Mn–Ni equivalence and Ni-rich conditions, respectively. Results show that [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] defect is of energy favorable in Li-rich and Mn-rich layered oxide cathode. Al-doping is beneficial for improving the structure stability and preventing the surface segregation, thus Al-doping can improve cycle ability and rate capability of Li-rich and Mn-rich layered cathodes. This work provides deep insights for the design of layered cathode materials with both high capacity and voltage stability during cycling.

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have become commercialized technologies for the modern and future world, but commercial batteries using graphite still have a low specific capacity and are concerned with safety issues. Silicon (Si) and antimony (Sb) nanocomposites have the tendency to be synthesized as high-energy-density anode materials which can be a solution for the above-mentioned problems. This work reported the synthesis methods and characterization of Sb and Si composited with nitrogen-doped graphene (SbSi/NrGO) by facile chemical method and thermal treatment. Si was obtained by magnesiothermic reduction of SiO2 derived from rice husk, waste from the agricultural process. To study the phases, particle distributions, and morphologies, all prepared composites were characterized. In this experiment, the phase compositions were confirmed as [Formula: see text]-Si, [Formula: see text]-Si, SiC, Sb, and shifted peaks of expanded C which were caused by NrGO synthesis. Interestingly, a good distribution of Si and Sb particles on the NrGO surface was obtained in 15Sb15Si/NrGO composition. It could be due to appropriate Sb and Si contents on the NrGO surface area in composite materials. Morphological identification of synthesized products represented the Sb and Si particles in nanoscale dispersed on thin wrinkled-paper NrGO. These results suggested that the synthesis method in this paper is appropriate to prepare SbSi/NrGO nanocomposites to be used as high-performance anode materials in high-performance LIBs for advanced applications.

Lithium ion battery is a kind of secondary battery that mainly relies on lithium ions moving between a positive electrode and a negative electrode. Lithium-ion batteries are considered to be the most ideal automotive power battery and has been widely applied in EV industry due to the outstanding advantages including but not limited to high energy density, high open circuit voltage and wide operating temperature range. The technical bottleneck of lithium-ion power batteries is how to further increase the energy density and optimize operating performance at low temperature. Besides, how to decrease the cost for lithium ion battery is also a big problem. The higher potential end of the power supply device is called cathode materials and the lower potential end of the power supply is called anode materials. At cathode end, Lithium ion intercalation process happens during discharging cycle and lithium ion deintercalation process happens during charging.For anode end, Lithium ion deintercalation process happens during charging cycle and lithium ion insertion process happens during discharging process. Good cathode/anode materials should include but not limited to the following characters: large specific capacity density, long cycling lifetime, good rate performance, proper electric potential and relatively stable structure during charge and discharge process.
