ABSTRACTIncreasing the operation voltage of LiCoO2 (LCO) is a direct way to enhance the energy density of the Li-ion batteries. However, at high voltages, the cycling stability degrades very fast due to the irreversible changes in the electrode structure, and formation of an unstable solid electrolyte interface layer. In this work, Ag thin film was prepared on commercial LCO cathode by using magnetron sputtering technique. Ag coated electrode enabled an improved electrochemical performance with a better cycling capability. After 100 cycles, Ag coated LCO delivers a discharge capacity of 106.3 mAh g-1 within 3 - 4.5 V at C/5, which is increased by 45 % compared to that of the uncoated LCO. Coating the electrode surface with Ag thin film also delivered an improved Coulombic efficiency, which is believed to be an indication of suppressed parasitic reactions at the electrode interface. This work may lead to new methods on surface modifications of LCO and other cathode materials to achieve high-capacity Li-ion batteries for high-voltage operations.

This paper focuses on the latest progress in the preparation of a series of nanostructured anode materials in our laboratory and their electrochemical properties for Li-ion batteries. These anode materials include core-shell structured Si nanocomposites, TiO2 nanocomposites, novel MoO2 anode material, and carbon nanotube (CNT)-coated SnO2 nanowires (NWs). The substantial advantages of these nanostructured anodes provide greatly improved electrochemical performance including high capacity, better cycling behavior, and rate capability.

Hierarchical Bi2MoO6 nanosheet arrays (BNAs) growing on three-dimensional (3D) Ni foam are synthesized by one-step template-free route. The obtained BNAs are used as binder-free integrated electrode for Li-ion batteries (LIBs) directly. The electrode exhibits a super high reversible discharge capacity of 2311.7[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]Ah[Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text] (1741.4[Formula: see text]mAh[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text]), and an excellent cycle stability. The outstanding electrochemical properties are reasonable from the self-supported integrated electrode in which the electrolyte is easy to infiltrate active materials, electrons and ions are readily transported along the 3D conductive substrate and the stable electrode structure.
