Synthesis, Structure And Electrochemical Performance Of Na2Mnsio4/C Cathode Material For Na-Ion Batteries, Shou-Ding Li, Jiang-Huai Guo, Yong Xie, Jin-Xiao Mi, Yong Yang

Journal of Electrochemistry

As a promising cathode material for sodium ion batteries, pure phase Na2MnSiO4/C nanocomposite was successfully synthesized by a sol-gel method with a citric acid as a complex agent. The as prepared material was characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM and TEM techniques. XRD and Rietveld refinement results indicated that the sample was indexed as monoclinic structure with space group of Pn. It was observed by SEM and TEM that the obtained product consisted of micro-scaled secondary particles, which were composed of NaMnSiO4 nanocrystallites and amorphous carbon network. More importantly, the uniform carbon network in the nanocomposite …

Preparation And Properties Of Binary Oxides CoXCr1-XO3/2 Electrocatalysts For Oxygen Evolution Reaction, Tai-Lai Yang, Wen-Yan Dong, Hui-Min Yang, Li Zhang, Zhen-Hai Liang

Journal of Electrochemistry

Binary metal mixed oxides of Co and Cr with nominal compositional formulas, CoxCr1-xO3/2 (x=0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0), were obtained by thermal decomposition method. The morphologies, crystal forms and valence states of the catalyst powders were analyzed by SEM, XRD and XPS, respectively. And the electrochemical properties, overpotentials and stabilities of CoxCr1-xO3/2 electrodes for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in an alkaline solution were evaluated by linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), staircase voltammetry and chronoamperometry, respectively. The results indicated that the mixtures of Co3O4 and eskolaite-Cr2 …

Electrochemical Performance Of Coal2O4-Coated Lini1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2, Ji-Jun Cai, Wang-Jun Cui, Bing Li, Yang-Yang Yu, Jin-Bao Zhao

Journal of Electrochemistry

A method to improve the electrochemical performance of LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 for high voltage lithium-ion battery by CoAl2O4 coating was present in this work. The effects of CoAl2O4 coatings on the structure and electrochemical properties of LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 were investigated in detail. The results show that CoAl2O4 forms a thin layer of 8 nm on the surface of LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 without destroying the structure of the core material. The CoAl2O4-coated LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O …
