Abundantly available SiO2 (silica) has great potential as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries because it is inexpensive and flexible. However, silicon oxide-based anode material preparation usually requires many complex steps. In this article, we report a facile method for preparing a SiO2/C composite derived from coal combustion fly ash as an anode material for Li-ion batteries. SiO2 was obtained by caustic extraction and HCl precipitation. Then, the SiO2/C composite was successfully obtained by mechanical milling followed by heat treatment. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Electrochemical properties were tested using an 18650 cylindrical cell utilizing LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 (NCA) as the counter electrode. Based on the obtained results, the physiochemical characteristics and electrochemical performance, it was determined that SiO2/C composites were greatly affected by the temperature of heat treatment. The best result was obtained with the SiO2 content of 10% w/w, heating temperature of 500 °C, initial specific discharge capacity of 586 mAh g−1 at 0.1 C (1 C = 378 mAh g−1), and reversible capacity of 87% after 20 cycles. These results confirmed that the obtained materials had good initial discharge capacity, cyclability, high performance, and exhibited great potential as an anode material for LIBs.

ABSTRACTAn efficient microwave-assisted polyol (MP) approach is report to prepare SnO2/graphene hybrid as an anode material for lithium ion batteries. The key factor to this MP method is to start with uniform graphene oxide (GO) suspension, in which a large amount of surface oxygenate groups ensures homogeneous distribution of the SnO2 nanoparticles onto the GO sheets under the microwave irradiation. The period for the microwave heating only takes 10 min. The obtained SnO2/graphene hybrid anode possesses a reversible capacity of 967 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C and a high Coulombic efficiency of 80.5% at the first cycle. The cycling performance and the rate capability of the hybrid anode are enhanced in comparison with that of the bare graphene anode. This improvement of electrochemical performance can be attributed to the formation of a 3-dimensional framework. Accordingly, this study provides an economical MP route for the fabrication of SnO2/graphene hybrid as an anode material for high-performance Li-ion batteries.

A novel and simple method has been developed to prepare the Cu-Si composite as anode material for lithium-ion batteries. Nanoporous Cu-Si composite with pore sizes of 1~30 nm was prepared by dealloying the melt-spun Al-Cu-Si-Ce ribbons in a 5 wt.% HCl solution. Electrochemical tests revealed that the nanoporous Cu-Si electrodes exhibited highly reversible capacity of 2317 mAhg-1 and retained a capacity of 1030 mAhg-1 over 20 cycles. The excellent electrochemical performance is attributed to the unique porous structure of the Cu-Si composite. Our results demonstrate that this novel composite is a promising anode candidate for high-capacity rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.

LiFePO4 (LFPO)has great potential as the cathode material for lithium-ion batteries; it has a high theoretical capacity (170 m·A·h·g−1), high safety, low toxicity and good economic benefits. However, low conductivity and a low diffusion rate inhibit its future development. To overcome these weaknesses, three-dimensional carbon-coated LiFePO4 that incorporates a high capacity, superior conductivity and low volume expansion enables faster electron transport channels. The use of Cetyltrimethyl Ammonium Bromid (CTAB) modification only requires a simple water bath and sintering, without the need to add a carbon source in the LFPO synthesis process. In this way, the electrode shows excellent reversible capacity, as high as 159.8 m·A·h·g−1 at 2 C, superior rate capability with 97.3 m·A·h·g−1at 5 C and good cycling ability, preserving ~84.2% capacity after 500 cycles. By increasing the ion transport rate and enhancing the structural stability of LFPO nanoparticles, the LFPO-positive electrode achieves excellent initial capacity and cycle life through cost-effective and easy-to-implement carbon coating. This simple three-dimensional carbon-coated LiFePO4 provides a new and simple idea for obtaining comprehensive and high-performance electrode materials in the field of lithium cathode materials.

Nitrogen and phosphorus dual-doped graphene oxide was prepared by directly calcining a mixture of pure graphene oxide, urea (nitrogen source), and 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)methane (phosphorous source). The morphology and composition of the obtained dual-doped graphene oxide were confirmed by SEM, TEM, XRD pattern, Raman spectrum, and XPS. The nitrogen and phosphorous dual-doped graphene oxide was tested as an anode material of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The cycle and rate performance of the dual-doped graphene oxide were also examined. The dualdoped graphene oxide exhibited a superior initial discharge capacity of 2796 mAh·g−1 and excellent reversible capacity of 1200 mAh·g−1 at a current density of 100 mA·g−1 after 200 charge/discharge cycles, suggesting that the dual-doping of nitrogen and phosphorous is an effective way to enhance lithium-ion storage for graphene oxide.

Nanosized TiO2 has been actively developed as a low-cost and environment-friendly anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), but its poor electronic conductivity seriously restricts its practical applications. This drawback is addressed in this work by the fabrication of one-dimensional mesoporous graphene@Ag@TiO2 composite nanofibers as anode materials for high-performance LIBs. The materials were prepared via electrospinning combined with annealing treatment, and the effects of graphene addition on the microstructure and electrochemical performance of the resulting mesoporous graphene@Ag@TiO2 nanofibers were investigated in detail. Ag@TiO2 nanofibers with the optimal amount of graphene displayed a maximum initial discharge capacity of [Formula: see text] at [Formula: see text] and retained a discharge capacity of [Formula: see text] at [Formula: see text] after 100 cycles. These results reflect the excellent cycling stability of the material. The average specific discharge capacity of the nanofibers ([Formula: see text] at [Formula: see text] was two-fold higher than that of samples without graphene, and their discharge capacity returned to [Formula: see text] (approximately [Formula: see text] for other nanofibers) when the current density was recovered to the initial value ([Formula: see text]. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopic measurements confirmed that the conductivity of the electrode was [Formula: see text], which is higher than that of bare mesoporous Ag@TiO2 ([Formula: see text]). Thus, one-dimensional mesoporous graphene@Ag@TiO2 nanofibers can be regarded as a promising anode material for LIBs.

Sn chalcogenides, including SnS, Sn2S3, and SnS2, have been extensively studied as anode materials for lithium batteries. In order to obtain one kind of high capacity, long cycle life lithium batteries anode materials, three-dimensional (3D) flower-like hierarchitectures constructed by SnS/SnS2heterostructure nanosheets with thickness of ~20 nm have been synthesized via a simple one-pot solvothermal method. The obtained samples exhibit excellent electrochemical performance as anode for Li-ion batteries (LIBs), which deliver a first discharge capacity of 1277 mAhg−1and remain a reversible capacity up to 500 mAhg−1after 50 cycles at a current of 100 mAg−1.
