Positive material Li2MnO3 shows the highest ratio of lithium to manganese among lithium-rich materials and exhibites the theoretical capacity up to 458 mAh·g -1, making it one of the most promising cathode materials. However, this material has the intrinsic low electrical conductivity and poor cycle stability. In this paper, Li2MnO3, the lithium-rich positive material, was prepared by sol-gel method using acetate as raw material and citric acid as a complexing agent. By using SnC2O4 as a tin source, Sn 4+ instead of Mn 4+ was introduced to obtain the materials …

Carbon layers with different thicknesses were introduced into the surfaces of silicon (Si) nanoparticles by sol-gel method using poly (cyclotriphosphazene-co-4, 4'-sulfonyldiphenol) as the carbon source. Technologies of X-ray diffraction, thermo-gravimetric analysis, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller and transmission electron microscopy were employed to analyze the structures and components of the as-prepared Si@CPZS composites. Electrochemical performance of Si@CPZS with different carbon thicknesses was studied. The results showed that Si@CPZS with carbon thickness of 10 nm possessed the best performance. Its capacity remained 940 mAh·g -1 after 290 cycles under 500 mA·g -1. As the addictive, the graphite-based anode contained 30% of Si@C …

In recent years, the rapid growing in the electric vehicle market has raised higher requirement on the lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) performance towards energy density and safety. However, considering the successful development of LIBs techniques in the past 30 years, there is little room left for improving the LIBs performance on the aspects related to the electrode materials, battery structure design and production processes. It is important to pursue more comprehensive fundamental understanding in the entire system and working principle of LIBs. Solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), existing between the electrode material and the electrolyte, has been proved to be an important …
