Novel Lithium-Ion Capacitor Based on a NiO-rGO Composite.

ABSTRACT: Lithium-ion capacitors (LICs) have been widely explored for energy storage. Nevertheless, achieving good energy density, satisfactory power density, and stable cycle life is still challenging. For this study, we fabricated a novel LIC with a NiO-rGO composite as a negative material and commercial activated carbon (AC) as a positive material for energy storage. The NiO-rGO//AC system utilizes NiO nanoparticles uniformly distributed in rGO to achieve a high specific capacity (with a current density of 0.5 A g-1 and a charge capacity of 945.8 mA h g-1) and uses AC to provide a large specific surface area and adjustable pore structure, thereby achieving excellent electrochemical performance. In detail, the NiO-rGO//AC system (with a mass ratio of 1:3) can achieve a high energy density (98.15 W h kg-1), a high power density (10.94 kW kg-1), and a long cycle life (with 72.1% capacity retention after 10,000 cycles). This study outlines a new option for the manufacture of LIC devices that feature both high energy and high power densities.

Facile One-Step Hydrothermal Synthesis of the rGO@Ni3V2O8 Interconnected Hollow Microspheres Composite for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Low-cost, vanadium-based mixed metal oxides mostly have a layered crystal structure with excellent kinetics for lithium-ion batteries, providing high energy density. The existence of multiple oxidation states and the coordination chemistry of vanadium require cost-effective, robust techniques to synthesize the scaling up of their morphology and surface properties. Hydrothermal synthesis is one of the most suitable techniques to achieve pure phase and multiple morphologies under various conditions of temperature and pressure. We attained a simple one-step hydrothermal approach to synthesize the reduced graphene oxide coated Nickel Vanadate (rGO@Ni3V2O8) composite with interconnected hollow microspheres. The self-assembly route produced microspheres, which were interconnected under hydrothermal treatment. Cyclic performance determined the initial discharge/charge capacities of 1209.76/839.85 mAh g-1 at the current density of 200 mA g-1 with a columbic efficiency of 69.42%, which improved to 99.64% after 100 cycles. High electrochemical performance was observed due to high surface area, the porous nature of the interconnected hollow microspheres, and rGO induction. These properties increased the contact area between electrode and electrolyte, the active surface of the electrodes, and enhanced electrolyte penetration, which improved Li-ion diffusivity and electronic conductivity.

Novel germanium/polypyrrole composite for high power lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:Nano-Germanium/polypyrrole composite has been synthesized by chemical reduction method in aqueous solution. The Ge nanoparticles were directly coated on the surface of the polypyrrole. The morphology and structural properties of samples were determined by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Thermogravimetric analysis was carried out to determine the polypyrrole content. The electrochemical properties of the samples have been investigated and their suitability as anode materials for the lithium-ion battery was examined. The discharge capacity of the Ge nanoparticles calculated in the Ge-polypyrrole composite is 1014 mAh g(-1) after 50 cycles at 0.2 C rate, which is much higher than that of pristine germanium (439 mAh g(-1)). The composite also demonstrates high specific discharge capacities at different current rates (1318, 1032, 661, and 460 mAh g(-1) at 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 4.0 C, respectively). The superior electrochemical performance of Ge-polypyrrole composite could be attributed to the polypyrrole core, which provides an efficient transport pathway for electrons. SEM images of the electrodes have demonstrated that polypyrrole can also act as a conductive binder and alleviate the pulverization of electrode caused by the huge volume changes of the nanosized germanium particles during Li(+) intercalation/de-intercalation.

Poly(ionic liquid) Based Composite Electrolytes for Lithium Ion Batteries.

Project description:Polymerized ionic liquids (PIL) are an interesting substance class, which is discussed to transfer the outstanding properties and tunability of ionic liquids into a solid material. In this study we extend our previous research on ammonium based PIL and discuss the influence of additives and their usability as polymer electrolyte membranes for lithium ion batteries. The polymer electrolyte is thereby used as replacement for the commercially widespread system of a separator that is soaked with liquid electrolyte. The influence of the material composition on the ionic conductivity (via electrochemical impedance spectroscopy) and the diffusion coefficients (via pulsed-field-gradient nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy) were studied and cell tests with adapted membrane materials were performed. High amounts of the additional ionic liquid (IL) MPPyrr-TFSI (1-methyl-1-propylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide) increased the ionic conductivity of the materials up to 1.3·10-4 S·cm-1 but made the usage of a cross-linker necessary to obtain mechanically stable membranes. The application of liquid electrolyte mixtures with ethylene carbonate (EC) and MPPyrr-TFSI decreased ionic conductivity values down to the 10-9 S·cm-1 range, but increased 7Li diffusion coefficients with increasing amounts of EC up to 1.7·10-10 m2·s-1. Cell tests with two membrane mixtures proofed that it is possible to build electrolyte membranes on basis of the polymerized ionic liquids, but also showed that further research is necessary to ensure stable and efficient cell cycling.

Artificial Graphite-Based Silicon Composite Anodes for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:To develop an advanced anode for lithium-ion batteries, the electrochemical performance of a novel material comprising a porous artificial carbon (PAC)-Si composite was investigated. To increase the pore size and surface area of the composite, ammonium bicarbonate (ABC) was introduced during high-energy ball-milling, ensuring a uniform distribution of silicon within the PAC matrix. The physical and structural properties of the developed material were evaluated using several advanced techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and galvanostatic intermittent titration (GITT). Artificial graphite contains several macropores that can accommodate volume hysteresis and provide effective sites for anchoring Si nanoparticles, enabling efficient electrochemical reactions. GITT analysis revealed that the PAC-Si-CB-ABC composite exhibited superior lithium-ion diffusion compared to conventional graphite. The developed PAC(55%)-Si(45%)-CB-ABC electrode with PAA as the binder demonstrated a reversible capacity of 850 mAh g-1 at 100 mA g-1 and a high-rate capability of 600 mAh g-1 at 2000 mA g-1. A full cell employing the NCM622 cathode exhibited reversible cyclability of 128.9 mAh g-1 with a reasonable energy density of 323.3 Wh kg-1. These findings suggest that the developed composite is a useful anode system for advanced lithium-ion batteries.

Electrocatalytic Decomposition of Lithium Oxalate-Based Composite Microspheres as a Prelithiation Additive in Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:In conventional lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), the active lithium from the lithium-containing cathode is consumed by the formation of a solid electrolyte interface (SEI) at the anode during the first charge, resulting in irreversible capacity loss. Prelithiation additives can provide additional active lithium to effectively compensate for lithium loss. Lithium oxalate is regarded as a promising ideal cathode prelithiation agent; however, the electrochemical decomposition of lithium oxalate is challenging. In this work, a hollow and porous composite microsphere was prepared using a mixture of lithium oxalate, Ketjen Black and transition metal oxide catalyst, and the formulation was optimized. Owing to the compositional and structural merits, the decomposition voltage of lithium oxalate in the microsphere was reduced to 3.93 V; when being used as an additive, there is no noticeable side effect on the performance of the cathode material. With 4.2% of such an additive, the first discharge capacity of the LiFePO4‖graphite full cell increases from 139.1 to 151.9 mAh g-1, and the coulombic efficiency increases from 88.1% to 96.3%; it also facilitates the formation of a superior SEI, leading to enhanced cycling stability. This work provides an optimized formula for developing an efficient prelithiation agent for LIBs.

Fabrication of (Co,Mn)3O4/rGO Composite for Lithium Ion Battery Anode by a One-Step Hydrothermal Process with H2O2 as Additive.

Project description:Binary transition metal oxides have been regarded as one of the most promising candidates for high-performance electrodes in energy storage devices, since they can offer high electrochemical activity and high capacity. Rational designing nanosized metal oxide/carbon composite architectures has been proven to be an effective way to improve the electrochemical performance. In this work, the (Co,Mn)3O4 spinel was synthesized and anchored on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets using a facile and single hydrothermal step with H2O2 as additive, no further additional calcination required. Analysis showed that this method gives a mixed spinel, i.e. (Co,Mn)3O4, having 2+ and 3+ Co and Mn ions in both the octahedral and tetrahedral sites of the spinel structure, with a nanocubic morphology roughly 20 nm in size. The nanocubes are bound onto the rGO nanosheet uniformly in a single hydrothermal process, then the as-prepared (Co,Mn)3O4/rGO composite was characterized as the anode materials for Li-ion battery (LIB). It can deliver 1130.6 mAh g-1 at current density of 100 mA g-1 with 98% of coulombic efficiency after 140 cycles. At 1000 mA g-1, the capacity can still maintain 750 mAh g-1, demonstrating excellent rate capabilities. Therefore, the one-step process is a facile and promising method to fabricate metal oxide/rGO composite materials for energy storage applications.

Morphology Controllable Synthesis of NiO/NiFe2O4 Hetero-Structures for Ultrafast Lithium-Ion Battery.

Project description:Rational design of high performance anode material with outstanding rate capability and cycling stability is of great importance for lithium ion batteries (LIBs). Herein, a series of NiO/NiFe2O4 hetero-structures with adjustable porosity, particle size, and shell/internal structure have been synthesized via a controllable annealing process. The optimized NiO/NiFe2O4 (S-NFO) is hierarchical hollow nanocube that is composed of ~5 nm subunits and high porosity. When being applied as anode for LIBs, the S-NFO exhibits high rate capability and excellent cycle stability, which remains high capacity of 1,052 mAh g-1 after 300 cycles at 5.0 A g-1 and even 344 mAh g-1 after 2,000 cycles at 20 A g-1. Such impressive electrochemical performance of S-NFO is mainly due to three reasons. One is high porosity of its hierarchical hollow shell, which not only promotes the penetration of electrolyte, but also accommodates the volume change during cycling. Another is the small particle size of its subunits, which can effectively shorten the electron/ion diffusion distance and provide more active sites for Li+ storage. Besides, the hetero-interfaces between NiO and NiFe2O4 also contribute toitsfast charge transport.

RGO-Coated TiO<sub>2</sub> Microcones for High-Rate Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Reduced graphene oxide (RGO)-coated TiO2 microcones have been synthesized via simple anodization and cyclic voltammetry for use in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Microcones had a perpendicularly oriented hollow core, an anatase structure, and a high surface area, allowing higher capacity than other nanosized TiO2 structures. TiO2 has low electrical conductivity, leading to the limitation of fast charging and high capacity; however, this was improved by the application of an RGO coating in this work. As anode materials of LIB, the obtained RGO microcone showed a capacity of 157 mAh g-1 at 10C (fully charged within ∼360 s) and sustained 1000 cycles with only 0.02% capacity fading per cycle. The capacity was 1.5 times higher than that of conventional microcone. We speculated that the decrease in the charge-transfer resistance (R ct) played a crucial role in increasing the capacity with fast charging.

Highly Conductive In-SnO2/RGO Nano-Heterostructures with Improved Lithium-Ion Battery Performance.

Project description:The increasing demand of emerging technologies for high energy density electrochemical storage has led many researchers to look for alternative anode materials to graphite. The most promising conversion and alloying materials do not yet possess acceptable cycle life or rate capability. In this work, we use tin oxide, SnO2, as a representative anode material to explore the influence of graphene incorporation and In-doping to increase the electronic conductivity and concomitantly improve capacity retention and cycle life. It was found that the incorporation of In into SnO2 reduces the charge transfer resistance during cycling, prolonging life. It is also hypothesized that the increased conductivity allows the tin oxide conversion and alloying reactions to both be reversible, leading to very high capacity near 1200 mAh/g. Finally, the electrodes show excellent rate capability with a capacity of over 200 mAh/g at 10C.
