Al–xFe–Si–La alloys (x = 0.07, 0.2, 0.4 wt. %) were designed as current collectors of positive electrodes in lithium ion batteries, and the microstructure, tensile strength, electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance of the alloys were investigated with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), a tensile test, an electrical conductivity test, and an electrochemical test. It was found that the amount of Fe content greatly affected the quantity of the second phases in the alloys. The higher the Fe content was, the more the second phases were. With increase of the Fe content, the tensile strength and corrosion resistance of the Al–xFe–Si–La alloys were improved, and the electrical conductivity of the Al–xFe–Si–La alloys could meet the application requirements. Compared to the Al–0.07Fe–0.1Si–0.07La alloy, the strength of the Al–0.4Fe–0.1Si–0.07La alloy was greatly enhanced. The Al–0.4Fe–0.1Si–0.07La alloy also had a higher corrosion potential than that of the Al–0.07Fe–0.1Si–0.07La alloy.

Second Phases

Al-xFe-La alloys (x = 0.07, 0.1, 0.2) for aluminum current collectors of lithium-ion batteries were prepared and the microstructure of Al-0.07Fe-0.07La, Al-0.1Fe-0.07La and Al-0.2Fe-0.07La aluminum alloys were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The experimental results showed that with the increase of Fe content, the size of the second phases in Al-xFe-0.07La alloys became finer and more dispersed and that the microstructure of the alloy had improved. The strength and corrosion resistance of Al-xFe-La alloys were studied by tensile tests and electrochemical tests and the morphological investigations of samples were also conducted by SEM and EDS. With the increase of Fe content, the strength and corrosion resistance of Al-xFe-La alloys became better. Compared to Al-0.07Fe-0.07La alloy, the yield strength and tensile strength of the Al-0.2Fe-0.07La alloy increased by 51.19% and 58.48% respectively, and the elongation increased by 88.41%. Moreover, Al-0.2Fe-0.07La alloy had much more positive corrosion potential and much smaller corrosion current than those of Al-0.07Fe-0.07La alloy.

It has been reported that improving electrical conductivity and maintaining stable structure during discharge/charge process are challenge for Si to be used as an anode for lithium ion batteries (LIB). To address this problem, milkweed (MW) was carbonized to prepare hollow carbon microtubes (HCMT) derived from biomass as an anode template for LIB. In order to improve electrical conductivity, various materials such as chitosan (CTS), agarose, and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) are used as carbon source (C1, C2, and C3) by carbonization. Carbon coated HCMT@Si composits, HCMT@Si@C1, HCMT@Si@C1@C2, and HCMT@Si@C1@C3, have been successfully synthesized. Changes in structure and crystallinity of HCMT@Si composites were characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD). Specific surface area for samples was calculated by using BET (Brunauer–Emmett–Teller). Also, pore size and particle size were obtained by particle and pore size analysis system. The surface morphology was evaluated using high resolution scanning electron microscopy (HR-SEM), Field Emission transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The thermal properties of HCMT@Si composites were analyzed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Our research was performed to study the synthesis and electrochemical performance of Si composite with HCMT by the carbonization of natural micro hollow milkweed to form an inner space. After carbonization at 900 °C for 2 h in N2 flow, inner diameter of HCMT obtained was about 10 μm. The electrochemical tests indicate that HCMT@Si@C1@C3 exhibits discharge capacity of 932.18 mAh/g at 0.5 A/g after 100 cycles.

The Impact

<div>LiCoO<sub>2</sub> is the prototype cathode in lithium ion batteries. It adopts a crystal structure with alternating Li<sup>+</sup> and CoO<sub>2</sub><sup>-</sup> layers along the hexagonal <0001> axis. It is well established that ionic and electronic conduction is highly anisotropic; however, little is known regarding heat transport. We analyse the phonon dispersion and lifetimes of LiCoO<sub>2</sub> using anharmonic lattice dynamics based on quantum chemical force constants. Around room temperature, the thermal conductivity in the hexagonal ab plane of the layered cathode is ≈ 6 times higher than that along the c axis based on the phonon Boltzmann transport. The low thermal conductivity (< 10Wm<sup>-1</sup>K<sup>-1</sup>) originates from a combination of short phonon lifetimes associated with anharmonic interactions between the octahedral face-sharing CoO<sub>2</sub><sup>-</sup> networks, as well as grain boundary scattering. The impact on heat management and thermal processes in lithium ion batteries based on layered positive electrodes is discussed.</div>
