Synthesis And Characterization For A New Organic Cathode Material Of Lithium-Ion Batteries——Poly Sulfurized Chloranilic Acid(Psca), Kai Liu, Jian-Ming Zheng, Gui-Ming Zhong, Yong Yang

Journal of Electrochemistry

A new organic cathode material,poly sulfurized chloranilic acid(PSCA),has been successfully synthesized for lithium-ion batteries. 13C solid state NMR and FTIR results indicated that the chorine in chronailic acid was substituted by sulfur after sulfurization. The electrochemical measurements showed that the initial discharge capacity of PSCA was up to 287.6 mAh/g,and 169.9 mAh/g still remained after 100 cycles when cycled between 1.5~3.6 V at the current density of 15 mA/g.

Si-Ag composite materials were prepared by mechanical alloying method. The morphology and composition of SiAg composites were investigated by SEM and XRD. The electrochemical properties of the composites were determined by charge-discharge tests and cyclic voltammetry. The composite composed of Si∶Ag with an atomic ratio of 1∶1 (sample 1#) showed good cyclic stability and charge-discharge reversibility. The reversible capacity of the composite (sample 1#) was remained over 300 mAh·g-1 after 50 cycles. Experimental results showed that controlling the potential range of charge-discharge processes could enhance the cyclic performance of alloy materials.

The SiNWs electrodes were fabricated by coating and direct growth methods,respectively.The structure,morphology and electrochemical performance of such materials were characterized by XRD,SEM and charge-discharge tests.The results show that the electrodes prepared by direct growth method had higher capacity,better battery life and also displayed and excellent cyclability at higher currents.During the process of lithiation,the initial crystalline Si transformed to amorphous LixSi,and the average diameter of the SiNWs increased.Despite the large volume changed,the SiNWs remained intact and did not break into smaller particles.
