In this study, the effects of different fabrication techniques on the electrochemical performance of solgel derived La0.6Sr0.4CoO3-? (LSC) cathode material for intermediate temperature proton-conducting fuel cells were investigated. Single-phase, sub-micron LSC powder was used to prepare cathode slurries by a simple grinding-stirring (G-S) technique and an advanced ball milling-triple roll milling (BM-TRM) technique. The prepared G-S and BM-TRM cathode slurries were brush painted and screen printed, respectively, onto separate BaCe0.54Zr0.36Y0.1O2.95 (BCZY) proton-conducting electrolytes to fabricate symmetrical cells of LSC|BCZY|LSC. The thickness of LSC cathode layer prepared by brush painting and screen printing was 17 ? 0.5 ?m and 7 ? 0.5 ?m, and the surface porosity of the layers was 32% and 27%, respectively. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis revealed that the layer deposited by screen printing had lower area specific resistance measured at 700?C (0.25Wcm2) than the layer prepared by brush painting of G-S slurry (1.50Wcm2). The enhanced LSC cathode performance of the cell fabricated using BM-TRM assisted with screen printing is attributed to the improved particle homogeneity and network in the prepared slurry and the enhanced particle connectivity in the screen printed film.

Abstract LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 as a promising cathode material for lithium-ion batteries was synthesized by a sol-gel method using nitrate precursor calcined at 800°C for 10 hours. The crystallite nature of samples is confirmed from X-ray diffraction analysis. SEM and TEM analyses were used to investigate the surface morphology of the prepared samples. It was found that, highly crystalline polyhedral RuO2 nanoparticles are well doped on the surface of pristine LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 with a size of about approximately 200 nm. The chemical composition of the prepared samples was characterized by EDX and XPS analyses. The electrochemical performance of the proposed material was studied by cyclic voltammetry and charge/discharge analyses. The electrode kinetics of the samples was studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The developed RuO2 doping may provide an effective strategy to design and synthesize the advanced electrode materials for lithium ion batteries. The doping strategy has dramatically increased the capacity retention from 74 % to 90% with a high discharge capacity of 251.2 mAhg− 1. 3 % RuO2-doped LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 cathode materials have showed the similar characteristics of two potential plateaus obtained at 2.8 and 4.2 V compared with un doped electrode cathode material. These results revealed the enhanced performance of RuO2- doped LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 during insertion and extraction of lithium ions compared to pristine material.

A lithium-rich manganese-based cathode material, Li1.25Ni0.2Co0.333Fe0.133Mn0.333O2, was prepared using a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-auxiliary sol-gel process using MnO2 as a template. The effect of the PVA content (0.0–15.0 wt%) on the electrochemical properties and morphology of Li1.25Ni0.2Co0.333Fe0.133Mn0.333O2 was investigated. Analysis of Li1.25Ni0.2Co0.333Fe0.133Mn0.333O2 X-ray diffraction patterns by RIETAN-FP program confirmed the layered α-NaFeO2 structure. The discharge capacity and coulombic efficiency of Li1.25Ni0.2Co0.333Fe0.133Mn0.333O2 in the first cycle were improved with increasing PVA content. In particular, the best material reached a first discharge capacity of 206.0 mAhg−1 and best rate capability (74.8 mAhg−1 at 5 C). Meanwhile, the highest capacity retention was 87.7% for 50 cycles. Finally, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy shows that as the PVA content increases, the charge-transfer resistance decreases.

AbstractLithium-rich layered oxides (LLOs) such as Li1.2Ni0.13Mn0.54Co0.13O2 are suitable cathode materials for future lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Despite some salient advantages, like low cost, ease of fabrication, high capacity, and higher operating voltage, these materials suffer from low cyclic stability and poor capacity retention. Several different techniques have been proposed to address the limitations associated with LLOs. Herein, we report the surface modification of Li1.2Ni0.13Mn0.54Co0.13O2 by utilizing cheap and readily available silica (SiO2) to improve its electrochemical performance. Towards this direction, Li1.2Ni0.13Mn0.54Co0.13O2 was synthesized utilizing a sol–gel process and coated with SiO2 (SiO2 = 1.0 wt%, 1.5 wt%, and 2.0 wt%) employing dry ball milling technique. XRD, SEM, TEM, elemental mapping and XPS characterization techniques confirm the formation of phase pure materials and presence of SiO2 coating layer on the surface of Li1.2Ni0.13Mn0.54Co0.13O2 particles. The electrochemical measurements indicate that the SiO2-coated Li1.2Ni0.13Mn0.54Co0.13O2 materials show improved electrochemical performance in terms of capacity retention and cyclability when compared to the uncoated material. This improvement in electrochemical performance can be related to the prevention of electrolyte decomposition when in direct contact with the surface of charged Li1.2Ni0.13Mn0.54Co0.13O2 cathode material. The SiO2 coating thus prevents the unwanted side reactions between cathode material and the electrolyte. 1.0 wt% SiO2-coated Li1.2Ni0.13Mn0.54Co0.13O2shows the best electrochemical performance in terms of rate capability and capacity retention.

To improve the cycle performance of spinel LiMn2O4as the cathode of 4 V class lithium ion batteries, spinel were successfully prepared using the sol-gel method. The dependence of the physicochemical properties of the spinel LiCrxMn2-xO4(x=0,0.05,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4) powders powder has been extensively investigated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), charge-discharge test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results show that as Mn is replaced by Cr, the initial capacity decreases, but the cycling performance improves due to stabilization of spinel structure. Of all, the LiCr0.2Mn1.8O4has best electrochemical performance, 107.6 mAhg-1discharge capacity, 96.1% of the retention after 50 cycles.
