Structure And Microstructure

New iron-oxide-based anodes are prepared by an environmentally-friendly and low-cost route. The analysis of the composition, structure, and microstructure of the samples reveals the presence of a major hematite phase, which is accompanied by a certain concentration of an oxyhydroxide phase, which can act as a “lithium-reservoir”. By using sodium alginate as a binder, the synthesized anodes display superior electrochemical response, i.e., high specific capacity values and high stability, not only versus Li but also versus a high voltage cathode in a full cell. From these bare materials, clay-supported anodes are further obtained using sepiolite and bentonite natural silicates. The electrochemical performance of such composites is improved, especially for the sepiolite-containing one treated at 400 °C. The thermal treatment at this temperature provides the optimal conditions for a synergic nano-architecture to develop between the clay and the hematite nanoparticles. High capacity values of ~2500 mA h g−1 after 30 cycles at 1 A g−1 and retentions close to 92% are obtained. Moreover, after 450 cycles at 2 A g−1 current rate, this composite electrode displays values as high as ~700 mA h g−1. These results are interpreted taking into account the interactions between the iron oxide nanoparticles and the sepiolite surface through hydrogen bonds. The electrochemical performance is not only dependent on the oxidation state and particle morphology, but the composition is revealed as a key feature.

Abstract The high-nickel cathode material of LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 (LNCA) has a prospective application for lithium-ion batteries due to the high capacity and low cost. However, the side reaction between the electrolyte and the electrode seriously affects the cycling stability of lithium-ion batteries. In this work, Ni2+ preoxidation and the optimization of calcination temperature were carried out to reduce the cation mixing of LNCA, and solid-phase Al-doping improved the uniformity of element distribution and the orderliness of the layered structure. In addition, the surface of LNCA was homogeneously modified with ZnO coating by a facile wet-chemical route. Compared to the pristine LNCA, the optimized ZnO-coated LNCA showed excellent electrochemical performance with the first discharge-specific capacity of 187.5 mA h g−1, and the capacity retention of 91.3% at 0.2C after 100 cycles. The experiment demonstrated that the improved electrochemical performance of ZnO-coated LNCA is assigned to the surface coating of ZnO which protects LNCA from being corroded by the electrolyte during cycling.

B doping plays an important role in improving the conductivity and electrochemical properties of Si anodes for Li-ion batteries. Herein, we developed a facile and massive production strategy to fabricate C-coated B-doped Si (B-Si@C) nanorod anodes using casting intermediate alloys of Al-Si and Al-B and dealloying followed by C coating. The B-Si@C nanorod anodes demonstrate a high specific capacity of 560 mAg-1, with a high initial coulombic efficiency of 90.6% and substantial cycling stability. Notably, the melting cast approach is facile, simple, and applicable to doping treatments, opening new possibilities for the development of low-cost, environmentally benign, and high-performance Li-ion batteries.

The effects of size and purity on the capacities of these cathodes are discussed. The samples fired at 500 and 600 °C contain an impurity phase of TiO2, thus delivering capacities of 208 and 210 mAh g−1 at C/10, respectively. The sample fired at 700 °C without the impurity phase of TiO2 shows a high capacity of 222 mAh g−1 at C/10 and capacity retention of 90.5% after 100 cycles at 1C.

AbstractWearable and portable mobile phones play a critical role in the market, and one of the key technologies is the flexible electrode with high specific capacity and excellent mechanical flexibility. Herein, a wire-in-wire TiO2/C nanofibers (TiO2 ww/CN) film is synthesized via electrospinning with selenium as a structural inducer. The interconnected carbon network and unique wire-in-wire nanostructure cannot only improve electronic conductivity and induce effective charge transports, but also bring a superior mechanic flexibility. Ultimately, TiO2 ww/CN film shows outstanding electrochemical performance as free-standing electrodes in Li/K ion batteries. It shows a discharge capacity as high as 303 mAh g−1 at 5 A g−1 after 6000 cycles in Li half-cells, and the unique structure is well-reserved after long-term cycling. Moreover, even TiO2 has a large diffusion barrier of K+, TiO2 ww/CN film demonstrates excellent performance (259 mAh g−1 at 0.05 A g−1 after 1000 cycles) in K half-cells owing to extraordinary pseudocapacitive contribution. The Li/K full cells consisted of TiO2 ww/CN film anode and LiFePO4/Perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride cathode possess outstanding cycling stability and demonstrate practical application from lighting at least 19 LEDs. It is, therefore, expected that this material will find broad applications in portable and wearable Li/K-ion batteries.

Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3(OH)2, a precursor of LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 in new-generation Li-ion batteries, was prepared by a hydroxide coprecipitation method. Scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) micrographs reveal that the precursor particles thus obtained, show regular shape with uniform size under optimized conditions. X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicates that well-ordered layer-structured LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 was prepared after calcination at high temperature. The final product exhibited a spherical morphology with uniform size distribution (10 μm in diameter). At the terminal charging voltage of 4.3 and 4.5 V (vs. Li/Li+), the testing cells of LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 delivered a specific capacity of 161.2 and 184.1 mAh g-1, respectively. The high capacity retention of 98.0 and 96.1 % after charging to 4.3 and 4.5 V for 50 cycles, respectively, indicates that this material displays excellent cycling stability even at high cut-off voltage.

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.
