The Influence Of Pva As Disperser On Lifepo_(4) Synthesized By Hydrothermal Reaction, Hui-Lin Li, Hui Zhan Aug 2006

The Influence Of Pva As Disperser On Lifepo_(4) Synthesized By Hydrothermal Reaction, Hui-Lin Li, Hui Zhan

Journal of Electrochemistry

LiFePO_(4) was synthesized by means of hydrothermal reaction,in which PVA acts as disperser and glucose as carbon source.The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction,scanning electron microscopy and electrochemical measurement.SEM results show that the sample is homogeneously composed of grains with a particle size of ca.200nm.In the charge/discharge test,the products exhibited a 3.45V discharge voltage plateau and a maximum specific capacity of 140mAh/g.After 40 cycles,its capacity only declined by 2.1%.Besides these,the mechanism for the influence of the particle size and carbon coating on the electrochemical property of LiFePO_(4)material was discussed in detail.

Structure And Properties Of Electrodeposited Sn-Co Alloy Electrodes As Anode Material For Lithium-Ion Secondary Batteries, Hong-Hong Jiang, Ling Huang

Journal of Electrochemistry

The Sn-Co alloy deposits were prepared by electroplating.The structure and electrochemical performance of the electroplated Sn-Co alloys have been investigated in detail.Experimental results show that the porous Sn-Co alloy film exhibits hexagonal solid solution,with Sn as the solvent, Co as the solute.The texture of the Sn-Co alloy coating exhibits(110) preferred orientation.Electrochemical tests show that the porous Sn-Co alloy coating electrodes can deliver a discharge capacity of 643mAh/g in the first cycle.At the 20~(h) cycle the charge was 461mAh/g.At initial charge curve the irreversible capacity is probably associated to a combination of processes,which may include the reduction of small amount of …
