Synthesis And Electrochemical Properties Of High-Capacity Cathode Material 0.08lico0.75Al0.25O2-0.92linio2, Ru-Ying Wang, Tian Qiu, Chong Mao, Wen-Sheng Yang Aug 2012

Synthesis And Electrochemical Properties Of High-Capacity Cathode Material 0.08lico0.75Al0.25O2-0.92linio2, Ru-Ying Wang, Tian Qiu, Chong Mao, Wen-Sheng Yang

Journal of Electrochemistry

CoAl-LDH or Co(OH)2 coated spherical Ni(OH)2 precursors were obtained via a co-precipitation method at a constant pH. The mixtures of the precursors and LiOH.H2O were annealed at high temperature in O2 atmosphere, and then the cathode materials of 0.08LiCo0.75Al0.25O2-0.92LiNiO2, 0.08LiCoO2-0.92LiNiO2 and LiNiO2 were synthesized. Effects of the coating layer were also studied. The results showed that the 0.08LiCo0.75Al0.25O2-0.92LiNiO2 material possessed the best rate and cycle life performance. The discharging capacities at 0.1C, 0.5C and 3C were …


Poly(Aniline/O-Nitroaniline): A High Capacity Cathode Material For Lithium Ion Batteries, Rui-Rui Zhao, Li-Min Zhu, Jiang-Feng Qian, Han-Xi Yang Aug 2012

Poly(Aniline/O-Nitroaniline): A High Capacity Cathode Material For Lithium Ion Batteries, Rui-Rui Zhao, Li-Min Zhu, Jiang-Feng Qian, Han-Xi Yang

Journal of Electrochemistry

Polyaniline can be used as a high capacity cathode material due to the advantages of material abundance and synthetic simplicity. However, its practical application in battery has been hindered by poor electrochemical utilization and cycling instability. To solve these problems, we synthesized the poly(aniline/o-Nitroaniline) (P(AN-oNA)) by introducing the electron-drawing group-nitroaniline onto the polyaniline chains, so as to enhance electrochemical utilization and stability of the polyaniline derivative. The as-prepared Li/P(AN-oNA) copolymer shows a greatly enhanced discharge capacities of 186 mAh.g-1 at initial cycles, about 37% higher than its parent PAN, and remains 168 mAh.g-1 after 60th cycle. Also, the …


Electrochemical Performance Of Yf3-Coated Li(Li0.22Ni0.17Mn0.61)O2 Cathode Material For Li-Ion Batteries, Xin Feng, Guo-Ran Li, Shi-Hai Ye, Xue-Ping Gao Aug 2012

Electrochemical Performance Of Yf3-Coated Li(Li0.22Ni0.17Mn0.61)O2 Cathode Material For Li-Ion Batteries, Xin Feng, Guo-Ran Li, Shi-Hai Ye, Xue-Ping Gao

Journal of Electrochemistry

The Li(Li0.22Ni0.17Mn0.61)O2 was prepared with oxalic co-precipitation and coated with an YF3 layer by a chemical deposition method. The as-prepared and YF3-coated Li-rich materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The results demonstrate that the as-prepared and YF3-coated Li(Li0.22Ni0.17Mn0.61)O2 materials have a typical layered structure and are composed of sphere-like particles with a diameter of 100~200 nm. Galvanostatic charge-discharge tests show that the discharge capacity of the YF3-coated Li(Li0.22 …

Journal of Electrochemistry

The anode materials of Sn-Co-M-C (M = Zn, Fe) composites were prepared by carbothermal reduction method from metal oxides and sucrose in N2 atmosphere. Their structural and electrochemical properties were studied by XRD, SEM and charge-discharge test. Among them, the Sn-Co-Zn-C composite showed higher specific capacity and good cycle performance. The initial specific discharge capacity of 571 mAh.g-1 could be obtained, while 369 mAh.g-1 was still kept after 45 cycles.

Preparation And Electrochemical Performance Of Mo-Doped Li3v2(Po4)3/C Cathode Materials, Zhi-Yuan Tang, Wei Yuan, Ji Yan, Wen-Feng Mao, Li Ma

Journal of Electrochemistry

The molybdenum-doped Li3V2-xMox(PO4)3/C (x = 0.01, 0.02 and 0.03) cathode materials were prepared with a sol-gel method by using Li2CO3, NH4H2PO4, V2O5 and MoO3 as raw materials, and citric acid as both chelating reagent and carbon source. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses showed that the crystal structure of as-prepared samples is monoclinic with space group P21/n. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations indicated the uniform morphology for Li3Mo0.02V1.98(PO4)3/C sample. Galvanostatic charge/discharge tests revealed that the optimal Mo-doping proportion is x = 0.02, and the best initial discharge capacity of Li3Mo0.02V1.98(PO4)3/C reaches 122.3 mAh?g-1 in the voltage range of 3.0 ~ 4.3 …
