Effect Of Ti Doping On The Structure And Performance Of Lini_(0.75)Co_(0.25)O_(2), Hui He, Xuan Cheng, Zhang Ying Aug 2006

Effect Of Ti Doping On The Structure And Performance Of Lini_(0.75)Co_(0.25)O_(2), Hui He, Xuan Cheng, Zhang Ying

Journal of Electrochemistry

In this study,a series of Co-doped compounds with the formula of LiNi_((0.75-x))Co_(0.25)Ti_(x)O_(2)(x=0,(0.1),0.25)was synthesized by using sol-gel method.Their structure,particle size,electrochemical properties were studied by TG,XRD,SEM and electrochemical tests.It was shown that the structure of materials changed from a hexagonal layered structure to a cubic structure as the x value increased.In particular,a mixture of hexagonal and cubic structure was presented at x =0.25.The electrochemical performance of the materials depended strongly on the amount of Ti doping.Possible effects on the structure and performance of LiNi_((0.75-x))Co_(0.25)Ti_(x)O_(2) due to Ti doping are briefly discussed based upon the experiment and computational results.


The Influence Of Pva As Disperser On Lifepo_(4) Synthesized By Hydrothermal Reaction, Hui-Lin Li, Hui Zhan Aug 2006

The Influence Of Pva As Disperser On Lifepo_(4) Synthesized By Hydrothermal Reaction, Hui-Lin Li, Hui Zhan

Journal of Electrochemistry

LiFePO_(4) was synthesized by means of hydrothermal reaction,in which PVA acts as disperser and glucose as carbon source.The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction,scanning electron microscopy and electrochemical measurement.SEM results show that the sample is homogeneously composed of grains with a particle size of ca.200nm.In the charge/discharge test,the products exhibited a 3.45V discharge voltage plateau and a maximum specific capacity of 140mAh/g.After 40 cycles,its capacity only declined by 2.1%.Besides these,the mechanism for the influence of the particle size and carbon coating on the electrochemical property of LiFePO_(4)material was discussed in detail.
