AbstractNickel aluminum layered double hydroxide (NiAl LDH) with nitrate in its interlayer is investigated as a negative electrode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The effect of the potential range (i.e., 0.01–3.0 V and 0.4–3.0 V vs. Li+/Li) and of the binder on the performance of the material is investigated in 1 M LiPF6 in EC/DMC vs. Li. The NiAl LDH electrode based on sodium alginate (SA) binder shows a high initial discharge specific capacity of 2586 mAh g−1 at 0.05 A g−1 and good stability in the potential range of 0.01–3.0 V vs. Li+/Li, which is better than what obtained with a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF)-based electrode. The NiAl LDH electrode with SA binder shows, after 400 cycles at 0.5 A g−1, a cycling retention of 42.2% with a capacity of 697 mAh g−1 and at a high current density of 1.0 A g−1 shows a retention of 27.6% with a capacity of 388 mAh g−1 over 1400 cycles. In the same conditions, the PVDF-based electrode retains only 15.6% with a capacity of 182 mAh g−1 and 8.5% with a capacity of 121 mAh g−1, respectively. Ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and ex situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) reveal a conversion reaction mechanism during Li+ insertion into the NiAl LDH material. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and XPS have been combined with the electrochemical study to understand the effect of different cutoff potentials on the Li-ion storage mechanism. Graphical abstract The as-prepared NiAl-NO3−-LDH with the rhombohedral R-3 m space group is investigated as a negative electrode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The effect of the potential range (i.e., 0.01–3.0 V and 0.4–3.0 V vs. Li+/Li) and of the binder on the material’s performance is investigated in 1 M LiPF6 in EC/DMC vs. Li. Ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and ex situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) reveal a conversion reaction mechanism during Li+ insertion into the NiAl LDH material. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and XPS have been combined with the electrochemical study to understand the effect of different cutoff potentials on the Li-ion storage mechanism. This work highlights the possibility of the direct application of NiAl LDH materials as negative electrodes for LIBs.

Nanosized spinel Li4Ti5O12 was successfully synthesized by a solid state reaction method at 800°C according to the Li4Ti5O12cubic spinel phase structure. In this synthesizing process, anatase TiO2and Li2CO3were used as reactants. The average grain size of the synthesized powders was around 200 nm. The synthesized Li4Ti5O12powder was characterized X-ray Diffraction (XRD), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS), and Specific Surface Area Analyzer (BET, Brunner-Emmett-Teller) respectively. X-ray diffraction results show that calcination temperature and time have the important effects on the crystal structure of Li4Ti5O12powder. In this study, we used a first principle method, based on the density functional theory to explore electronic and structural properties of Li4Ti5O12, as anode material for lithium ion batteries. Differences on these properties between delithiation state Li4Ti5O12and lithiation state Li7Ti5O12are compared. All the predicted structural and electrochemical properties agree closely with the experimental findings in literature. The average intercalation voltage of 1.4V during charging/discharging were obtained. We have shown that the Li4Ti5O12material exhibits insulating behavior with the band gap of 3.16 and 3.90 eV using the GGA and GGA+U+J0calculations respectively. Li7Ti5O12becomes metallic as Li atoms inserted in Li4Ti5O12material. Spinel Li4Ti5O12has been regarded as an attractive anode material for the development of high-power lithium-ion batteries because of its unique attributes of high safety and rate capability.

Incineration Process

The chemical and mineralogical characterizations of cobalt precursor recovered from spent lithium-ion batteries with incineration process was analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). It indicates that Co exists in the form of LiCoO2. However, after thermal treatment, complex products including LiCoO2, Co3O4, and Co2AlO4 etc. generated, in which Co3O4 has strong signal. The XPS spectra shows that Li(1-x)CoO2 and LiCoO2 are the main chemical state of Co in the original sample, but after thermal treatment, the chemical state changes to Co3O4. Besides, there are undecomposed Li(1-x)CoO2, CoF3 and Co. Analyses indicate that Co is enriched after thermal treatment and chemical state of some Co have been certified.

TiO2 aggregates of controlled size have been successfully prepared by hydrothermal synthesis using TiO2 nanoparticles of different sizes as a building unit. In this work, different techniques were used to characterize the as-prepared TiO2 aggregates, e.g., X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Brunauer, Emmett and Teller technique (BET), field emission gun scanning electron microscopy (FEGSEM), electrochemical measurements etc. The size of prepared TiO2 aggregates varied from 10–100 nm, and their pore size from around 5–12 nm; this size has been shown to depend on synthesis temperature. The mechanism of the aggregate formations was discussed in terms of efficiency of collision and coalescence processes. These newly synthetized TiO2 aggregates have been investigated as potential negative insertion electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries. The influence of specific surface areas and pore sizes on the improved capacity was discussed—and conflicting effects pointed out.

Solid-state reaction was used for Li7La3Zr2O12 material synthesis from Li2CO3, La2O3 and ZrO2 powders. Phase investigation of Li7La3Zr2O12 was carried out by x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) methods. The thermodynamic characteristics were investigated by calorimetry measurements. The molar heat capacity (Cp,m), the standard enthalpy of formation from binary compounds (ΔoxHLLZO) and from elements (ΔfHLLZO), entropy (S0298), the Gibbs free energy of the Li7La3Zr2O12 formation (∆f G0298) and the Gibbs free energy of the LLZO reaction with metallic Li (∆rGLLZO/Li) were determined. The corresponding values are Cp,m = 518.135 + 0.599 × T − 8.339 × T−2, (temperature range is 298–800 K), ΔoxHLLZO = −186.4 kJ·mol−1, ΔfHLLZO = −9327.65 ± 7.9 kJ·mol−1, S0298 = 362.3 J·mol−1·K−1, ∆f G0298 = −9435.6 kJ·mol−1, and ∆rGLLZO/Li = 8.2 kJ·mol−1, respectively. Thermodynamic performance shows the possibility of Li7La3Zr2O12 usage in lithium-ion batteries.
