Synthesis And Electrochemical Performance Of Si/C Composite Modified By Pani, Guang-Hui Zhang, Pei-Kang Shen, Ge Sang, Ren-Jin Xiong Apr 2013

Synthesis And Electrochemical Performance Of Si/C Composite Modified By Pani, Guang-Hui Zhang, Pei-Kang Shen, Ge Sang, Ren-Jin Xiong

Journal of Electrochemistry

Silicon/carbon (Si/C) composite materials were prepared through high-energy ball milling and high-temperature solid-phase method, and then coated with thin polyaniline (PAni) film by oxidation. The microstructure and component of the composites were characterized by SEM, XRD, IR, TG, and the electrochemical performance was investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galvanostatic charge-discharge tests. The results showed that the surface of PAni/Si/G/C composite was coating with complete lamellar structure of PAni film. Its reversible capacity was 784 mAh.g-1and 690 mAh.g-1 could be maintained after 50th charge-discharge cycles.

Hydrothermal Synthesis Of Pure Li4Ti5O12 And Its Electrochemical Performance, Wen-Jun Xie, Yu-Shi He, Hong Wang, Xiao-Zhen Liao, Zi-Feng Ma

Journal of Electrochemistry

Spinel Li4Ti5O12 was prepared by hydrothermal method using commercial anatase (TiO2) and lithium hydroxide (LiOH) as raw materials. The effects of the LiOH concentration of lithium hydroxide, hydrothermal reaction time and calcination temperature on the structure and electrochemical performance of Li4Ti5O12 were investigated. The formation process of Li4Ti5O12 was also proposed. The micro-structure and morphology wereas characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM techniques, and the electrochemical performance was analyzed by galvanostatic charge-discharge test. The results show that the pure phase spinel Li4Ti5O12 can be …
