AbstractCoCO3 with high theoretical capacity has been considered as a candidate anode for the next generation of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the electrochemical performance of CoCO3 itself, especially the cyclic stability at high current density, hinders its application. Herein, pure phase CoCO3 particles with different particle and pore sizes were prepared by adjusting the solvents (diethylene glycol, ethylene glycol, and deionized water). Among them, CoCO3 synthesized with diethylene glycol (DG-CC) as the solvent shows the best electrochemical performance owing to the smaller particle size and abundant mesoporous structure to maintain robust structural stability. A high specific capacity of 690.7 mAh/g after 1000 cycles was achieved, and an excellent capacity retention was presented. The capacity was contributed by diverse electrochemical reactions and the impedance of DG-CC under different cycles was further compared. Those results provide an important reference for the structural design and stable cycle performance of pure CoCO3.

Herein, pure phase CoCO3 particles with different particle and pore sizes were prepared by adjusting the solvents. CoCO3 synthesized with diethylene glycol (DG-CC) as the reaction solvent shows the best electrochemical performance for the particle size of about 0.85 µm, which because the small primary particle size within and the mesopores maintain the structural stability. A high specific capacity of after 1000 cycles was achieved, and an excellent capacity retention was presented. The capacity provided by different electrochemical reactions and the impedance of DG-CC under different cycles were further compared. Those results provide an important reference for the structural design and stable cycle performance of pure CoCO3.

Two materials with the stoichiometric composition Li3.85Ni0.15Ti5O12 and Li3.80Cu0.05Ni0.15Ti5O12 were obtained by solid-state reaction using lithium carbonate Li2CO3, titanium oxide TiO2, nickel oxide NiO and copper oxide CuO. The materials were characterized in terms of phase composition, crystal structure as well as cycle performance. Phase composition and crystal structure parameters were determined using X-ray Panalytical Empyrean XRD diffractometer in the range of 10-110° with CuKa radiation. The results were analyzed using Rietveld refinement which was then implemented in the GSAS computer software. The electrochemical properties of the samples were measured by galvanostatic charge/discharge cycles at different rates over a voltage range of 1.0-2.5 V and 0.2-2.5 V. Cyclic voltammetry measurements were also carried out. It was proved that the addition of both Ni and Cu results in high specific capacity of LTO especially at high current rates (2C and 5C). The sample Li3.80Cu0.05Ni0.15Ti5O12 delivers superior capacity above 200 mAh·g -1 when discharged to 0.2 V.

High energy density batteries with high performance are significantly important for intelligent electrical vehicular systems. Iron sulfurs are recognized as one of the most promising anodes for high energy density lithium-ion batteries because of their high theoretical specific capacity and relatively stable electrochemical performance. However, their large-scale commercialized application for lithium-ion batteries are plagued by high-cost and complicated preparation methods. Here, we report a simple and cost-effective method for the scalable synthesis of nanoconfined FeS in porous carbon (defined as FeS@C) as anodes by direct pyrolysis of an iron(III) p-toluenesulfonate precursor. The carbon architecture embedded with FeS nanoparticles provides a rapid electron transport property, and its hierarchical porous structure effectively enhances the ion transport rate, thereby leading to a good electrochemical performance. The resultant FeS@C anodes exhibit high reversible capacity and long cycle life up to 500 cycles at high current density. This work provides a simple strategy for the mass production of FeS@C particles, which represents a critical step forward toward practical applications of iron sulfurs anodes.

The iron oxide anode materials have attracted widespread attention in lithium-ion battery research field. The Fe2O3/C composite was synthesized via hydrothermal method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The XRD confirmed that the main crystallization phases of materials were Fe2O3. The Fe2O3/AC powders showed very uniform cube between 1 and 2 μm. Fe2O3/CNTs composites acted as a three-dimensional network wiring to connect Fe2O3 spheres. The electrochemical investigation indicated that the electrochemical performance of Fe2O3/CNTs materials shows a high specific capacity and an excellent cycling stability. The first reversible capacity of samples is 808.8 mAhg-1 at the current density of 100 mAg-1 between 0.01 and 2.5 V vs. Li/Li+.
