First principles calculations play an important role in the study and development of new materials for lithium batteries. In this paper, we review the application of first principles calculations in the design of anode materials, including the modeling of the interaction of lithium in the anode materials, capacity, voltage, electrochemical reaction process, diffusion, rate capability, the relationship between the structure and properties, and the experimental phenomena interpreting. Based on the discussions, we emphasize on the importance of first principles calculations and demonstrate their requirement for further development.

A series of xLiFePO4·yLi3V2(PO4)3 composites were systematically synthesized through solid state reactions by variations in the proportions of LiFePO4 and Li3V2(PO4)3. The properties of the prepared compounds were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electrochemical measurements. The capacity of 162.7 mAh/g at 0.2 C rate was obtained with the relatively good cycle stability and good conductivity for 0.95LiFePO4·0.05Li3V2(PO4)3 due to more uniformed distributed and smaller particle sizes.

Manganese titanate (MnTiO3) powder was prepared via a sol-gel method using manganese acetate and tetrabutyl titanate as raw materials, and citric acid as a chelating agent. Through high temperature nitridation of MnTiO3 powder in ammonia, the MnO/TiN composite was obtained. The phase structure, composition and morphology of the composites were characterized by XRD, SEM and EDS. The electrochemical properties of the composite electrodes were studied by performing cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge and discharge, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests. The MnO/TiN electrode delivered specific capacities of 394 mAh?g-1 and 146 mAh?g-1 at the current density of 100 mA?g-1 and 1 A?g-1, …
