ABSTRACTThis study focusses on optimizing the parameters of the hydrothermal synthesis to produce iron phosphates for lithium ion batteries, with an emphasis on pure LiFePO4 with the olivine structure and compounds containing a higher iron:phosphate ratio. Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) is a promising cathode candidate for lithium ion batteries due to its high theoretical capacity, environmentally benign and the low cost of starting materials. Well crystallized LiFePO4 can be successfully synthesized at temperatures above 150 °C. The addition of a reducing agent, such as hydrazine, is essential to minimize the oxidation of ferrous (Fe2+) to ferric (Fe3+) in the final compound. The morphology of LiFePO4 is highly dependent on the pH of the initial solution. This study also investigated the lipscombite iron phosphates of formula Fe1.33PO4OH. This compound has a log-like structure formed by Fe-O octahedral chains. The chains are partially occupied by the Fe3+ sites, and these iron atoms and some of the vacancies can be substituted by other cations. Most of the protons can be ion-exchanged for lithium, and the electrochemical capacity is much increased.

In this paper, a promising new high-capacity anode material for lithium-ion batteries based on a highly dispersed search is considered. The powder was obtained using pulsed electrochemical cathodic reduction in an electrolyte from an ionic liquid choline chloride-ethylene glycol on a titanium vibrocathode. The discharge capacity of the anode material was 817 (mA·h)/g, which is close to the theoretically specific electrochemical capacity of tin 924 (mA·h)/g. The powder of the researchers for the dispersion and morphology of tin crystals. The particle size distribution of the particles with an increased fraction ratio of less than 0.1 μm and SEM-photographs of grains with a rhombohedral particle shape are presented. For research, we turned to this anode material the applied methods of electrochemical analysis: cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic cycling and impedance spectroscopy in the process of charge and discharge of the electrode. Consideration of changes in the characteristics of the electrode under study using circuits for impedance spectroscopy during the formation of the lithium-tin intermetallic compound, as well as a change in the ratio It is shown that when the charging capacity is reached, close to theoretical intercalation can go through two ways: through SEI and intermetallic compound.

In this work, we have compared the potential applications of nine different elements doped Mg2NiH4 as conversion-type electrode materials in Li-ion batteries by means of state-of-the-art Density functional theory calculations. The electrochemical properties, such as specific capacity, volume change and average voltage, as well as the atomic and electronic structures of different doped systems have been investigated. The Na doping can improve the electrochemical capacity of the pristine material. Si and Ti doping can reduce the band gap and benefit the electronic conductivity of electrode materials. All of the nine doping elements can help to reduce the average voltage of negative electrodes and lead to reasonable volume changes. According to the computational screening, the Na, Si and Ti doping elements are thought to be promising to enhance the comprehensive properties of pure material. This theoretical study is proposed to encourage and expedite the development of metal-hydrides based lithium-storage materials.

Recent studies of polypyrrole (PPy) electrodes have been increasing the interfacial surface area in order to increase electrochemical performance. We present a novel method of electropolymerizing PPy doped with dodecylbenzenesulfonate (DBS) referred to as biotemplating. A biotemplated conducting polymer utilizes phospholipid vesicles in order to form a three dimensional structure with a sponge-like shape. The vesicles, measuring 1–2 μm in diameter, are added in situ with the polymerization solution. They become enveloped while maintaining their structure during electropolymerization of PPy(DBS). The result of this structure is a significant increase in surface area compared to current techniques. There are several advantages in using biotemplated conducting polymers as battery electrodes. Compared to a planar PPy(DBS) membrane, biotemplated PPy(DBS) membranes have a roughly 50% increased storage capacity. There is an expected reduction in volumetric expansion during ion ingress/egress into the polymer backbone. This reduction would result in decreased fatigue loading and improving cyclability. Further, biotemplated PPy(DBS) membranes can be fabricated into thin structures with increased flexibility, allowing them to be rolled into various packaging sizes. In this article, the charge density of a biotemplated PPy(DBS) membrane as a function of charging and discharging currents is compared to a planar PPy(DBS) membrane. The structural enhancement offers systemic advantages by providing higher volumetric energy density and decreased fatigue loading for applications involving conducting polymer electrodes.

In this work, the electrochemical discharge capacity of melt-spun (MmY)1 (NiCoMnAl)5 ribbons, in which the content of yttrium was 0-2.5wt%, was studied in the temperature range of 30~80oC. It was found that adding element yttrium made the electrochemical capacity of the compounds increased. The capacity obtained was 333mAh/g at 30 oC and 247 mAh/g at 80oC when the content of yttrium was 2.0wt%. In addition, 70~85% recovery of the capacity was obtained due to better antioxidation. The increase of charging/discharging efficiency with yttrium substitution for Mm in melt-spun ribbons illustrated by the potential characteristics of charging/discharging is ascribed to the flatter and lower hydride formation potential, as well as the higher hydrogen evolution potential. Moreover, This effect is more prominent with increasing yttrium content.
