Sub-micro droplet reactors for green synthesis of Li₃VO₄ anode materials in lithium ion batteries.

ABSTRACT: The conventional solid-state reaction suffers from low diffusivity, high energy consumption, and uncontrolled morphology. These limitations are competed by the presence of water in solution route reaction. Herein, based on concept of combining above methods, we report a facile solid-state reaction conducted in water vapor at low temperature along with calcium doping for modifying lithium vanadate as anode material for lithium-ion batteries. The optimized material, delivers a superior specific capacity of 543.1, 477.1, and 337.2 mAh g^-1 after 200 and 1000 cycles at current densities of 100, 1000 and 4000 mA g^-1, respectively, which is attributed to the contribution of pseudocapacitance. In this work, we also use experimental and theoretical calculation to demonstrate that the enhancement of doped lithium vanadate is attributed to particles confinement of droplets in water vapor along with the surface and structure variation of calcium doping effect.

Mesoporous Li3VO4/C Submicron-Ellipsoids Supported on Reduced Graphene Oxide as Practical Anode for High-Power Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Despite the enormous efforts devoted to high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), the present state-of-the-art LIBs cannot meet the ever-increasing demands. With high theoretical capacity, fast ionic conductivity, and suitable charge/discharge plateaus, Li3VO4 shows great potential as the anode material for LIBs. However, it suffers from poor electronic conductivity. In this work, we present a novel composite material with mesoporous Li3VO4/C submicron-ellipsoids supported on rGO (LVO/C/rGO). The synthesized LVO/C/rGO exhibits a high reversible capacity (410 mAh g-1 at 0.25 C), excellent rate capability (230 mAh g-1 at 125 C), and outstanding long-cycle performance (82.5% capacity retention for 5000 cycles at 10 C). The impressive electrochemical performance reveals the great potential of the mesoporous LVO/C/rGO as a practical anode for high-power LIBs.

Methods to Improve Lithium Metal Anode for Li-S Batteries.

Project description:The lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery has received a lot of attention because it is characterized by high theoretical energy density (2,600 Wh/kg) and low cost. Though many works on the "shuttle effect" of polysulfide have been investigated, lithium metal anode is a more challenging problem, which leads to a short life, low coulombic efficiency, and safety issues related to dendrites. As a result, the amelioration of lithium metal anode is an important means to improve the performance of lithium sulfur battery. In this paper, improvement methods on lithium metal anode for lithium sulfur batteries, including adding electrolyte additives, using solid, and/or gel polymer electrolyte, modifying separators, applying a protective coating, and providing host materials for lithium deposition, are mainly reviewed. In addition, some challenging problems, and further promising directions are also pointed out for future research and development of lithium metal for Li-S batteries.

Porous Co2VO4 Nanodisk as a High-Energy and Fast-Charging Anode for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:High-energy-density lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) that can be safely fast-charged are desirable for electric vehicles. However, sub-optimal lithiation potential and low capacity of commonly used LIBs anode cause safety issues and low energy density. Here we hypothesize that a cobalt vanadate oxide, Co2VO4, can be attractive anode material for fast-charging LIBs due to its high capacity (~ 1000 mAh g-1) and safe lithiation potential (~ 0.65 V vs. Li+/Li). The Li+ diffusion coefficient of Co2VO4 is evaluated by theoretical calculation to be as high as 3.15 × 10-10 cm2 s-1, proving Co2VO4 a promising anode in fast-charging LIBs. A hexagonal porous Co2VO4 nanodisk (PCVO ND) structure is designed accordingly, featuring a high specific surface area of 74.57 m2 g-1 and numerous pores with a pore size of 14 nm. This unique structure succeeds in enhancing Li+ and electron transfer, leading to superior fast-charging performance than current commercial anodes. As a result, the PCVO ND shows a high initial reversible capacity of 911.0 mAh g-1 at 0.4 C, excellent fast-charging capacity (344.3 mAh g-1 at 10 C for 1000 cycles), outstanding long-term cycling stability (only 0.024% capacity loss per cycle at 10 C for 1000 cycles), confirming the commercial feasibility of PCVO ND in fast-charging LIBs.

MoO3@MoS2 Core-Shell Structured Hybrid Anode Materials for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:We explore a phase engineering strategy to improve the electrochemical performance of transition metal sulfides (TMSs) in anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). A one-pot hydrothermal approach has been employed to synthesize MoS2 nanostructures. MoS2 and MoO3 phases can be readily controlled by straightforward calcination in the (200-300) °C temperature range. An optimized temperature of 250 °C yields a phase-engineered MoO3@MoS2 hybrid, while 200 and 300 °C produce single MoS2 and MoO3 phases. When tested in LIBs anode, the optimized MoO3@MoS2 hybrid outperforms the pristine MoS2 and MoO3 counterparts. With above 99% Coulombic efficiency (CE), the hybrid anode retains its capacity of 564 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles, and maintains a capacity of 278 mAh g-1 at 700 mA g-1 current density. These favorable characteristics are attributed to the formation of MoO3 passivation surface layer on MoS2 and reactive interfaces between the two phases, which facilitate the Li-ion insertion/extraction, successively improving MoO3@MoS2 anode performance.

Monodisperse porous silicon spheres as anode materials for lithium ion batteries.

Project description:Highly monodisperse porous silicon nanospheres (MPSSs) are synthesized via a simple and scalable hydrolysis process with subsequent surface-protected magnesiothermic reduction. The spherical nature of the MPSSs allows for a homogenous stress-strain distribution within the structure during lithiation and delithiation, which dramatically improves the electrochemical stability. To fully extract the real performance of the MPSSs, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were added to enhance the electronic conductivity within the composite electrode structure, which has been verified to be an effective way to improve the rate and cycling performance of anodes based on nano-Si. The Li-ion battery (LIB) anodes based on MPSSs demonstrate a high reversible capacity of 3105 mAh g(-1). In particular, reversible Li storage capacities above 1500 mAh g(-1) were maintained after 500 cycles at a high rate of C/2. We believe this innovative approach for synthesizing porous Si-based LIB anode materials by using surface-protected magnesiothermic reduction can be readily applied to other types of SiOx nano/microstructures.

Silicon/Graphite/Amorphous Carbon as Anode Materials for Lithium Secondary Batteries.

Project description:Although silicon is being researched as one of the most promising anode materials for future generation lithium-ion batteries owing to its greater theoretical capacity (3579 mAh g-1), its practical applicability is hampered by its worse rate properties and poor cycle performance. Herein, a silicon/graphite/amorphous carbon (Si/G/C) anode composite material has been successfully prepared by a facile spray-drying method followed by heating treatment, exhibiting excellent electrochemical performance compared with silicon/amorphous carbon (Si/C) in lithium-ion batteries. At 0.1 A g-1, the Si/G/C sample exhibits a high initial discharge capacity of 1886 mAh g-1, with a high initial coulombic efficiency of 90.18%, the composite can still deliver a high initial charge capacity of 800 mAh g-1 at 2 A g-1, and shows a superior cyclic and rate performance compared to the Si/C anode sample. This work provides a facile approach to synthesize Si/G/C composite for lithium-ion batteries and has proven that graphite replacing amorphous carbon can effectively improve the electrochemical performance, even using low-performance micrometer silicon and large size flake graphite.

Controllable synthesis of nanostructured ZnCo2O4 as high-performance anode materials for lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:Nanostructured ZnCo2O4 anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been successfully prepared by a two-step process, combining facile and concise electrospinning and simple post-treatment techniques. Three different structured ZnCo2O4 anodes (nanoparticles, nanotubes and nanowires) can be prepared by simply adjusting the ratio of metallic salt and PVP in the precursor solutions. Charge-discharge tests and cyclic voltammetry (CV) have been conducted to evaluate the lithium storage performances of ZnCo2O4 anodes, particularly for ZnCo2O4 nanotubes obtained from a weight ratio 2 : 4 of metallic salt and PVP polymer in the precursor solution. Remarkably, ZnCo2O4 nanotubes exhibit high specific capacity, good rate property, and long cycling stability. Reversible capacity is still maintained at 1180.8 mA h g-1 after 275 cycles at a current density of 200 mA g-1. In case of rate capability, even after cycling at the 2000 mA g-1 current density, the capacity could recover to 684 mA h g-1. The brilliant electrochemical properties of the ZnCo2O4 anodes make them promising anodes for LIBs and other energy storage applications.

Biomimetic Synthesis of Polydopamine Coated ZnFe2O4 Composites as Anode Materials for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Metal oxides as anode materials for lithium storage suffer from poor cycling stability due to their conversion mechanisms. Here, we report an efficient biomimetic method to fabricate a conformal coating of conductive polymer on ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles, which shows outstanding electrochemical performance as anode material for lithium storage. Polydopamine (PDA) film, a bionic ionic permeable film, was successfully coated on the surfaces of ZnFe2O4 particles by the self-polymerization of dopamine in the presence of an alkaline buffer solution. The thickness of PDA coating layer was tunable by controlling the reaction time, and the obtained ZnFe2O4/PDA sample with 8 nm coating layer exhibited an outstanding electrochemical performance in terms of cycling stability and rate capability. ZnFe2O4/PDA composites delivered an initial discharge capacity of 2079 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 and showed a minimum capacity decay after 150 cycles. Importantly, the coating layer improved the rate capability of composites compared to that of its counterpart, the bare ZnFe2O4 particle materials. The outstanding electrochemical performance was because of the buffering and protective effects of the PDA coating layer, which could be a general protection strategy for electrode materials in lithium-ion batteries.

Li2ZnTi3O8/graphene nanocomposite as a high-performance anode material for lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:An Li2ZnTi3O8/graphene (LZTO/G) anode is successfully synthesized by a two-step reaction. The results show that LZTO particles can be well dispersed into the graphene conductive network. The conductive structure greatly improves the electrochemical performance of LZTO/G. When cycled for 400 cycles, 76.4% of the capacity for the 2nd cycle is maintained at 1 A g-1. Also, 174.8 and 156.5 mA h g-1 are still delivered at the 100th cycle for 5 and 6 A g-1, respectively. The excellent cyclic performance and the large specific capacities at high current densities are due to the good conductive network of the LZTO active particles, large pore volume, small particle size, low charge-transfer resistance and high lithium diffusion coefficient.
