LiV₃O₈/Polytriphenylamine Composites with Enhanced Electrochemical Performances as Cathode Materials for Rechargeable Lithium Batteries.

ABSTRACT: LiV₃O₈/polytriphenylamine composites are synthesized by a chemical oxidative polymerization process and applied as cathode materials for rechargeable lithium batteries (RLB). The structure, morphology, and electrochemical performances of the composites are characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, galvanostatic discharge/charge tests, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. It was found that the polytriphenylamine particles were composited with LiV₃O₈ nanorods which acted as a protective barrier against the side reaction of LiV₃O₈, as well as a conductive network to reduce the reaction resistance among the LiV₃O₈ particles. Among the LiV₃O₈/polytriphenylamine composites, the 17 wt % LVO/PTPAn composite showed the largest d100 spacing. The electrochemical results showed that the 17 wt % LVO/PTPAn composite maintained a discharge capacity of 271 mAh·g-1 at a current density of 60 mA·g-1, as well as maintaining 236 mAh·g-1 at 240 mA·g-1 after 50 cycles, while the bare LiV₃O₈ sample retained only 169 and 148 mAh·g-1, respectively. Electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) results implied that the 17 wt % LVO/PTPAn composite demonstrated a decreased charge transfer resistance and increased Li⁺ ion diffusion ability, therefore manifesting better rate capability and cycling performance compared to the bare LiV₃O₈ sample.

Synthesis and Electrochemical Performance of Graphene @ Halloysite Nanotubes/Sulfur Composites Cathode Materials for Lithium-Sulfur Batteries.

Project description:Natural halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) were introduced into the S cathode material to form HNTs/S and RGO@HNTs/S composite electrode to improve the electrochemical performance of Li-S batteries. The effect of acid etching temperature on the morphology and pore structure of HNTs was explored and the morphological characteristics and electrochemical performance of composite electrodes formed by HNTs that after treatment with different acid etching temperatures and RGO were compared. The result shows that the cycling stability and the utilization rate of active substances of the Li-S battery were greatly improved because the pore structure and surface polarity functional groups of HNTs and the introduction of RGO provide a conductive network for insulating sulfur particles. The RGO@HNTs treated by acid treatment at 80 °C (RGO@HNTs-80/S) composite electrode at 0.1 C has an initial capacity of 1134 mAh g-1, the discharge capacity after 50 cycles retains 20.1% higher than the normal S electrode and maintains a specific discharge capacity of 556 mAh g-1 at 1 C. Therefore, RGO and HNTs can effectively improve the initial discharge specific capacity, cycle performance and rate performance of Li-S batteries.

Lithium Sulfide-Carbon Composites via Aerosol Spray Pyrolysis as Cathode Materials for Lithium-Sulfur Batteries.

Project description:We demonstrate a new technique to produce lithium sulfide-carbon composite (Li2S-C) cathodes for lithium-sulfur batteries via aerosol spray pyrolysis (ASP) followed by sulfurization. Specifically, lithium carbonate-carbon (Li2CO3-C) composite nanoparticles are first synthesized via ASP from aqueous solutions of sucrose and lithium salts including nitrate (LiNO3), acetate (CH3COOLi), and Li2CO3, respectively. The obtained Li2CO3-C composites are subsequently converted to Li2S-C through sulfurization by reaction to H2S. Electrochemical characterizations show excellent overall capacity and cycle stability of the Li2S-C composites with relatively high areal loading of Li2S and low electrolyte/Li2S ratio. The Li2S-C nanocomposites also demonstrate clear structure-property relationships.

Heterogeneous synthesis and electrochemical performance of LiMnPO<sub>4</sub>/C composites as cathode materials of lithium ion batteries.

Project description:In this study, a facile yet efficient interfacial hydrothermal process was successfully developed to fabricate LiMnPO4/C composites. In this strategy, the walls of carbon nanotubes were employed as heterogeneous nucleation interfaces and biomass of phytic acid (PA) as an eco-friendly phosphorus source. By comparing the experimental results, a reasonable nucleation-growth mechanism was proposed, suggesting the advantages of interfacial effects. Meanwhile, the as-synthesized LiMnPO4/C samples exhibited superior rate performances with discharge capacities reaching 161 mA h g-1 at C/20, 134 mA h g-1 at 1C, and 100 mA h g-1 at 5C. The composites also displayed excellent cycling stabilities by maintaining 95% of the initial capacity over 100 continuous cycles at 1C. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy showed that the superior electrochemical performances were attributed to the low charge-transfer resistance and elevated diffusion coefficient of lithium ions. In sum, the proposed approach for the preparation of LiMnPO4/C composites looks promising for future production of composite electrode materials for high-performance lithium-ion batteries.

Nitridation effect on lithium iron phosphate cathode for rechargeable batteries.

Project description:A novel oxynitride Li0.94FePO3.84N0.16 with olivine structure (space group Pnma, no. 62) has been synthesized by heating a parent LiFePO4 precursor obtained by citrate chemistry in flowing ammonia at 650 °C. The polycrystalline sample has been characterized by X-ray and neutron powder diffraction (NPD), elemental and thermal analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electrochemical measurements. Based on the existing contrast between the scattering lengths of the N and O species, a Rietveld refinement of the structure from NPD data revealed that N preferentially occupies the O2 positions, as likely required to fulfil the bonding power of N ions. The refined crystallographic formula implies an oxidation state of 2.2+ for Fe cations. The differential thermal analysis, in still air, shows a strong exothermic peak at 520-540 °C due to the combustion of C contents, which are embedding the olivine particles, as observed by SEM. The electrochemical measurements suggest a better performance for the nitrided sample relative to the unnitrided LiFePO4 material, as far as capacity and cyclability are concerned. A bond-valence energy landscape study reveals a decrease in the percolation activation energy of about 6% upon nitridation, concomitant with the better electrochemical properties of the oxynitride compound. Additionally, ceramic samples prepared under NH3 flow could be obtained as pure and well-crystallized olivine phases at milder temperatures (650 °C) than those usually described in literature.

Metal-organic framework-derived metal oxide nanoparticles@reduced graphene oxide composites as cathode materials for rechargeable aluminium-ion batteries.

Project description:The use of metal oxides as electrode materials has seen great success in lithium-ion batteries. However, this type of electrode materials has been regarded as an improper option for rechargeable aluminium-ion batteries (AIBs) in comparison with sulfides and selenides, and has, thus, been nearly abandoned. Here, we demonstrate the suitability of metal oxides as cathode materials of AIBs, exhibiting high electrochemical activities toward Al-ion storage. We designed economical metal-oxide cathodes (Co3O4@reduced graphene oxide (rGO), Fe2O3@rGO, and CoFe2O4@rGO) for AIBs. The Co3O4@rGO displayed superior electrochemical properties, regarding both capacity and lifespan, to the current state-of-the-art cathode material reported by scientific literature. Furthermore, the CoFe2O4@rGO exhibits rational electrochemical capacities and an extremely stable charge/discharge process with an excellent Coulombic efficiency of 99.6%. The proposed study expects to stimulate researchers to focus on the overlooked metal oxides as competitive cathode materials for high performance AIBs.

Nano-Crystalline Li1.2Mn0.6Ni0.2O? Prepared via Amorphous Complex Precursor and Its Electrochemical Performances as Cathode Material for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:An amorphous complex precursor with uniform Mn/Ni cation distribution is attempted for preparing a nano-structured layered Li-rich oxide (Li1.2Mn0.6Ni0.2O?)cathode material, using diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) as a chelating agent. The materials are characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and electrochemical tests. The crystal structure of Li-rich materials is found to be closely related to synthesis temperature. As-obtained nano materials sintered at 850 °C for 10 h show an average size of 200 nm with a single crystal phase and good crystallinity. At a current density of 20 mA·g-1, the specific discharge capacity reaches 221 mAh·g-1 for the first cycle and the capacity retention is 81% over 50 cycles. Even at a current density of 1000 mA·g-1, the capacity is as high as 118 mAh·g-1. The enhanced rate capability can be ascribed to the nano-sized morphology and good crystal structure.

Enhanced charge transport properties of an LFP/C/graphite composite as a cathode material for aqueous rechargeable lithium batteries.

Project description:Electrodes that offer quick ion transport, a large surface area, and excellent electrical conductivity support high performance aqueous rechargeable lithium batteries. LiFePO4 (LFP) nanoparticles have been successfully coated with carbon by a chemical sol-gel route, and assembled on graphite by an ultrasonication method to acquire LFP/C/graphite. This LFP/C/graphite composite exhibits exceptional electrochemical performance at various current densities (1C to 20C). LFP/C/graphite delivers better capacity that is higher than that of LFP/C particles and high stability after 60 cycles at a current density of 1C for aqueous rechargeable lithium batteries as a cathode material. The graphite serves as a good volume buffer in improving the lithium performance of LFP/C/graphite during the charge/discharge process. The LFP/C/graphite composite shows high rate capability at 20C that returned to the initial capacity at 1C after 25 cycles with coulombic efficiency of 97%. Therefore, this effort presents a super low-cost route to fabricate high performance cathode materials in aqueous rechargeable lithium batteries and other energy storage appliances.
