Journal of Electrochemistry

Nanostructured materials are currently of interest as high performance anodes and cathodes for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries because of their novel nano-size effects and significantly enhanced kinetics. This review paper describes some recent developments in this field,addressing the size effects,morphology effects,as well as the functions of carbon coating layers toward lithium storage. Several"kinetically stabilized"nano/microstructured electrode materials and high-rate electrode materials with mixed-conducting networks based on the work of the authors are highlighted for illustration.

High-Rate Cyclic Properties Of Hollow Carbon Hemisphere As Anode Materials For Lithium Ion Batteries, Guang-Hui Zhang, Zao-Xue Yan, Hong-Li Zou, Pei-Kang Shen

Journal of Electrochemistry

High surface area hollow carbon hemispheres ( HCHs) covered with hard carbon layers have been synthesized by using polystyrene spheres ( PSs) as templates under hydrothermal method combined with the intermittent microwave heating ( IMH) method. The morphologies of the materials are characterized by SEM and TEM. The electrochemical properties of the HCHs are tested. Comparing with graphite and mesocarbon microbeads ( MCMB) ,the HCHs show higher capacity and excellent cyclic life performance.

Journal of Electrochemistry

Cathode material Li3V2( PO4) 3 /C for Lithium-ion battery was synthesized by combination of ball milling and baking. Physical and electrochemical performances of as-prepared materials were characterized through XRD,EIS and galvanostatic cell cycling. The results show that the products were monoclinic Li3 V2 ( PO4) 3 with well-developed crystal structure. At 0. 1C,0. 25C and 0. 5C,the initial discharge capacities were 150. 6,134. 1 and 107. 1 mAh·g-1 ,respectively. Capacity retention rates were 87. 3% after 130 cycles at 0. 25C and 87. 2% after 105 cycles at 0. 5C. Charge-discharge efficiencies were all above 80% and the average discharge …
