Definition Of

Li-ion batteries have emerged as a leading energy storage technology for several applications including portable electronics devices and electric vehicles. Rigorous efforts are made to develop these batteries with higher energy density, higher power density, and better cycling stability while reducing cost and environmental impact. To better understand how electrode microstructure contributes to the electrode performance, the spinel LiMn2O4 (LMO) cathode material was prepared using a template-assisted sol-gel synthesis method. This method involves soaking of polycarbonate template membranes in the precursor solution followed by drying, to remove the solvent. The dried templates containing precursor materials were etched in an oxygen plasma to remove the template, and the nanostructured electrode formed was then calcined to convert these nanostructures to spinel LiMn2O4. Simultaneously, powdered LMO was prepared using the same synthesis procedure, but without the aid of a template to control electrode morphology. A series of tests were performed to study the effect of processing conditions on the structure and morphology of the nanostructured electrodes. The resulting electrodes were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) in support of efforts to understand the effects of process parameters on the electrochemical performance of the electrode. The template assisted synthesis approach yielded an electrode of well-defined nanotubules. Extending the template soaking time was found to provide better definition of individual tubule structures. Increasing calcination temperature was found to create a better defined spinel structure for the LMO. These observations provide insight into process parameters relevant to electrode preparation and substrate selection when producing nanostructured electrodes using template-assisted methods.

New series of spinel LiNi0.25Fe0.2Mˊ0.05Mn1.5O4 (Mˊ = Cu, Mg or Zn) cathode materials have been purposefully tailored using sol-gel auto-combustion method at low annealing temperature ~ 700°C for 3 h. The XRD analysis showed that all substituted (LNFMO-Mˊ) samples are comported with the main structure of undoped (LNFMO) with crystalline disordered spinel Fd-3m structure. TEM images revealed the octahedron-shape like morphology for the particles and the LNFMO-Zn sample has the widest particle size distribution. EIS spectra evidenced that a typical one semicircle (LNFMO-Mg) was revealed for each cell, suggesting the absence of ionic conductivity contribution. The values of charge transfer resistance (Rct) were equal to 9.3, 6.7, 6.0 and 4.4 kΩ for LNFMO, LNFMO-Cu, LNFMO-Mg indicating that the Zn-doped sample has the fastest kinetic diffusion rate and lowest activation energy of conduction.

Li [ Li 0.2 Mn 0.56 Ni 0.16 Co 0.08] O 2 cathode materials for Li -ion batteries were synthesized by a facile sol–gel method followed by calcination at various temperatures (700°C, 800°C and 900°C). Lithium acetate dihydrate, manganese (II) acetate tetrahydrate, nickel (II) acetate tetrahydrate and cobalt (II) acetate tetrahydrate are employed as the metal precursors, and citric acid monohydrate as the chelating agent. For the obtained Li [ Li 0.2 Mn 0.56 Ni 0.16 Co 0.08] O 2 materials, the metal components existed in the form of Mn 4+, Ni 2+ and Co 3+, and their molar ratio was in good agreement with 0.56 : 0.16 : 0.08. The calcination temperature played an important role in the particle size, crystallinity and further electrochemical properties of the cathode materials. The Li [ Li 0.2 Mn 0.56 Ni 0.16 Co 0.08] O 2 material calcined at 800°C for 6 h showed the best electrochemical performances. Its discharge specific capacities cycled at 0.1 C, 0.5 C, 1 C and 2 C rates were 266.0 mAh g−1, 243.1 mAh g−1, 218.2 mAh g−1 and 192.9 mAh g−1, respectively. When recovered to 0.1 C rate, the discharge specific capacity was 260.2 mAh g−1 and the capacity loss is only 2.2%. This work demonstrates that the sol–gel method is a facile route to prepare high performance Li [ Li 0.2 Mn 0.56 Ni 0.16 Co 0.08] O 2 cathode materials for Li -ion batteries.
