Excellent Cycling Stability

Potassium-ion batteries (PIBs), as one of the alternatives to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), have attracted considerable attention on account of the affluence and low-cost of potassium. Moreover, CoC2O4 and graphene oxide (GO) have been used very well in lithium-ion batteries. Hence, the hybrid CoC2O4/GO was investigated as a new anode material for PIBs. The hybrid CoC2O4/GO was synthesized by a facile and cheap method combined with supersonic dispersion. Electrochemical measurements reveal that the hybrid CoC2O4/GO delivered an excellent cycling stability of 166 mAh g−1 at 50 mA g−1 and a superior rate capability even at 1 A g−1. These results demonstrate although the cycle ability was insufficient for practical applications, transition-metal oxalates composites can still bring new hope to the development of PIBs.

In this work, the hydrothermal method was employed to produce SnO2/rGO as anode material. Nanostructured SnO2 was prepared to enhance reversibility and to deal with the undesirable volume changes during cycling. The SnO2/rGO hybrid exhibits long cycle life in lithium-ion storage capacity and rate capability with an initial discharge capacity of 1327 mAh/g at 0.1 C rate. These results demonstrate that a fabricated SnO2/rGO matrix will be a possible way to obtain high rate performance.

Electrochemical Characteristics

ABSTRACTMost studies focused on fundamental aspects of cathode materials in lithium ion battery employ porous electrodes, which are made of polymer bonded transition metal oxide powders mixed with conductors such as carbon. However, the powder morphology and the presence of carbon and polymeric binders affect the physical, chemical and electrochemical behaviors significantly. Therefore, transition metal oxide based materials in thin film form, which are dense and contain no additives, are emerging as promising alternatives to study fundamental properties in lithium ion batteries. Pulsed laser ablation (PLD) was used to deposit highly textured thin and thick porous films of LiMn2O4. Effect of various parameters such as substrates and deposition conditions were studied on the microstructure of these films. Microstructure studies of these films were carried out using x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The electrochemical measurements were carried out in a glove box using cyclic voltammetery, electrochemical cycling and AC Impedance spectroscopy in a half-cell configuration with lithium metal as an anode and reference electrode and LiMn2O4 film as a cathode. Results indicate differences in film morphology greatly effect electrochemical kinetics of Li intercalation and de-intercalation. Thin films show good electrochemical characteristics such as high rate capability, good coulombic efficiency and rechargeability till 400 cycles.
