An Electrochemical Behavior Of Limn_(2)O_(4) Electrode In Electrolyte Based On Room Temperature Ionic Liquid, Zheng Hong-He Aug 2005

An Electrochemical Behavior Of Limn_(2)O_(4) Electrode In Electrolyte Based On Room Temperature Ionic Liquid, Zheng Hong-He

Journal of Electrochemistry

The electrochemical behavior of spinel LiMn_(2)O_(4)electrode in ionic liquid electrolyte was investigated by using cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge-discharge and ACimpedance techniques. The results reveal that the spinel LiMn_(2)O_(4)can be effectively cycled in electrolyte based on the ionic liquid with discharge capacity of 108.2mAh/g and Coulombic efficiency of more than 90% in the first cycle at room temperature. Temperature and current density play an important role in the electrode performances. The activation energy for lithium ion transfer through interface between the electrode and the electrolyte was evaluated by AC impedance spectroscopy. The high activation energy accounts for the poor cell performance …


The Mechanism Of The Improvement On Cycling Performance And Thermal Stability Of Lini_(0.8)Co_(0.2)O_2 By Ti-Doping, Han-San Liu, Jie Li, Zheng-Liang Gong, Zhong-Ru Zhang, Yong Yang Feb 2005

The Mechanism Of The Improvement On Cycling Performance And Thermal Stability Of Lini_(0.8)Co_(0.2)O_2 By Ti-Doping, Han-San Liu, Jie Li, Zheng-Liang Gong, Zhong-Ru Zhang, Yong Yang

Journal of Electrochemistry

Improved cycling performance and enhanced thermal stability were observed for Ti-doped LiNi_(0.8)Co_(0.2)O_2 cathode materials. The mechanism of these positive effects was investigated in this work. The improved cycling performance of Ti-doped cathodes is ascribed to the suppression of phase transitions and lattice changes during cycling, and the decrease of interfacial reaction activity between the cathode and electrolyte. The enhanced thermal stability of Ti-doped cathodes is attributed to the suppression of thermal decomposition reaction of delithiated cathode material, which will produce heat and oxygen gas as the cause of electrolyte decomposition and combustion reaction.
