In this work, novel composition of Nax[Ni0.6Co0.2Mn0.2]O2 (x = 0.5 and 1.0) layered cathode materials were synthesized by using hydroxide co-precipitation and calcined at 850, 900 and 950 °C. We studied the effects of different sodium contents and calcination temperature on the structural and electrochemical properties of this novel cathode material. The change of calcination temperature and sodium content led to different P2-type, P2/P3-type, P2/O3-type, or O3-type structures. The results indicate better electrochemical perfor-mance of the P2-type cathode materials in terms of high discharge capacity and good cycling performance, when compared to P2/P3, P2/O3, and O3-type cathode materials. Na0.5[Ni0.6Co0.2Mn0.2]O2 electrode calcined at 900 °C exhibited a good capacity of 107.15 mAhg-1 and ca-pacity retention over 73 % after 20 cycle. Characterization of this material will help to develop cathode materials for the Na-ion battery cathode.

The high-density Li0.95Na0.05FePO4 cathode material was synthesized through microwave heating, using a spherical sample prepared by co-precipitation method as precursor. The morphology, structure, electrochemical performance and the tap density of the materials were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD), cyclic voltammetry (CV), constant current charge-discharge experiment and the tap density measurement. The results indicated that the samples have rules spherical or similar spherical morphology and simple pure olive-type phase. The Na doped Li0.95Na0.05FePO4 material showed excellent performance with a tap density of 1.63g/cm3. At room temperature, its initial discharge capacities reached 164.2 mAh/g, 151.5mAh/g, 130.5mAh/g at 0.2C, 1C, 2C current rates, respectively.

Nanotechnology is a field of applied science focused on design, synthesis and characterization of nanomaterials. The nickel and magnesium have improved their applications in transparent electrodes and nano electronics. In addition, magnesium oxide has moisture resistance and high melting point properties. In the present work has been carried out in the development of green crystalline powder of nickel doped magnesium oxide nanoparticles by Co-precipitation method, from the mixture of nickel chloride and magnesium chloride with KOH as solvent. From the XRD results, crystalline size of the particle can be observed. Spherical structure of Ni doped MgO nanoparticles were indicated by SEM results and powdered composition of samples were obtained from FTIR. EDAX represents the peak composition of the nanoparticle. The above analytical techniques have confirmed that the Ni doped MgO nanoparticles obtained from the mixture of NiCl2 and MgCl2.

We report on the preparation and characterization of a novel lamellar polypyrrole using an attapulgite–sulfur composite as a hard template. Pretreated attapulgite was utilized as the carrier of elemental sulfur and the attapulgite–sulfur–polypyrrole (AT @400 °C–S–PPy) composite with 50 wt.% sulfur was obtained. The structure and morphology of the composite were characterized with infrared spectroscopy (IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). An AT @400 °C–S–PPy composite was further utilized as the cathode material for lithium–sulfur batteries. The first discharge specific capacity of this kind of battery reached 1175 mAh/g at a 0.1 C current rate and remained at 518 mAh/g after 100 cycles with capacity retention close to 44%. In the rate test, compared with the polypyrrole–sulfur (PPy–S) cathode material, the AT @400 °C–S–PPy cathode material showed lower capacity at a high current density, but it showed higher capacity when the current came back to a low current density, which was attributed to the “recycling” of pores and channels of attapulgite. Therefore, the lamellar composite with special pore structure has great value in improving the performance of lithium–sulfur batteries.
