Nanostructured SnO 2/ C composites used as anode materials were prepared by sol–gel synthesis to explore electrochemical properties in lithium-ion batteries. Surface characteristics of the SnO 2/ C nanocomposite were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was found that nanocrystalline SnO 2/ C with a grain size of 20–50 nm was uniformly dispersed on the carbon surface. After nanocrytalline SnO 2 coated onto carbon, the discharge capacity showed an increase up to 23%, i.e., from 300 to 370 mAh/g at a current density of 0.6 mA/cm2. The nanocomposite anode can achieve a fairly stable discharge capacity and excellent Coulombic efficiency (>99.5%) over 50 cycles. Cyclic voltammograms indicated that the improvements on capacity and cycleability were due to reversible alloying of nanosized Sn and Li on carbon surface.

A lithium-rich manganese-based cathode material, Li1.25Ni0.2Co0.333Fe0.133Mn0.333O2, was prepared using a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-auxiliary sol-gel process using MnO2 as a template. The effect of the PVA content (0.0–15.0 wt%) on the electrochemical properties and morphology of Li1.25Ni0.2Co0.333Fe0.133Mn0.333O2 was investigated. Analysis of Li1.25Ni0.2Co0.333Fe0.133Mn0.333O2 X-ray diffraction patterns by RIETAN-FP program confirmed the layered α-NaFeO2 structure. The discharge capacity and coulombic efficiency of Li1.25Ni0.2Co0.333Fe0.133Mn0.333O2 in the first cycle were improved with increasing PVA content. In particular, the best material reached a first discharge capacity of 206.0 mAhg−1 and best rate capability (74.8 mAhg−1 at 5 C). Meanwhile, the highest capacity retention was 87.7% for 50 cycles. Finally, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy shows that as the PVA content increases, the charge-transfer resistance decreases.

Mg batteries are a promising energy storage system because of physicochemical merits of Mg metal as an anode material. However, the lack of electrochemically and chemically stable magnesium electrolytes impedes the development of Mg batteries. In this study, a newly designed chloride-free magnesium fluorinated pinacolatoborate, Mg[B((CF<sub>3</sub>)<sub>4</sub>C<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>]<sub>2</sub>(abbreviated as <b>Mg-FPB</b>), was synthesized by convenient methods from commercially available reagents and fully characterized. The <b>Mg-FPB</b>electrolyte delivered outstanding electrochemical performance, specifically, 95% coulombic efficiency and 197 mV overpotential for reversible Mg deposition, and anodic stability up to 4.0 V vs Mg. The <b>Mg-FPB</b>electrolyte was applied to demonstrate a high voltage rechargeable Mg/MnO<sub>2</sub>battery with a discharge capacity of 150 mAh/g.

In this paper we reported on fabrication and characterization of a composite harvesting device integrated thin-film rechargeable battery on α-Si thin-film solar cell. The α-Si thin-film solar cell typically presented open-circuit voltage of 4.3 V, short-circuit current of 15.4 mA/cm2 and efficiency of 7.4%. The thin-film rechargeable battery composed of Nb2O5/LiPON/LiMn2O4 systems fabricated using dry process, which showed the initial discharge capacity of about 215 μAh (or 12.4 μAh/cm2), the cycleabilty for discharge was good at keeping about 12.3 μAh/cm2 with a small decreasing ratio of 0.1% per cycle and the coulombic efficiency was all over 95% for the 100 cycles. On the other hand, the discharge capacity of approximately 80% was provided by the self-charging of the solar cell for 10 min, and the coulombic efficiency was also over 95%.

Dopamine was used as the carbon precursor to prepare SiO/C composite. Dopamine achieved self-polymerization and covered on the surface of the SiO particles in Tris-buffer, and the SiO/C composites were gained after heat-treating in the tube furnace under Argon. X-ray diffraction ( XRD ) , scanning electron microscope ( SEM ) were used to determine the phases obtained and to observe the morphologies of the composite. The galvanostatic discharge/charge test was carried out to characterize the electrochemical properties of the composite. When the sample of the mixed SiO and dopamine at a weight ratio of 1 : 3, the composite showed the best cycle ability with the discharge capacity of 1362 mAh g−1 in the first cycle, and the initial coulombic efficiency is 55.6%, after 50 cycles, the discharge capacity is 442 mAh g−1. The improved stability of the composite is attributed to carbon-coating forming during heat-treatment process.

New types of niobates negative electrode were studied for using in lithium-ion batteries in order to alternate metallic lithium anodes. The potassium intercalated compound KCa2Nb3O10 and proton intercalated compound HCa2Nb3O10 were studied, and the electrochemical results showed a reversible cyclic voltammetry profile with acceptable discharge capacity. The as-prepared KCa2Nb3O10 negative electrode had a low discharge capacity caused by high overpotential, but the reversible intercalation and deintercalation reaction of lithium ions was activated after exchanging H+ ions for intercalated K+ ions. The initial discharge capacity of HCa2Nb3O10 was 54.2 mAh/g with 92.1% of coulombic efficiency, compared with 10.4 mAh/g with 70.2% of coulombic efficiency for KCa2Nb3O10 at 1 C rate. The improved electrochemical performance of the HCa2Nb3O10 was related to the lower bonding energy between proton cation and perovskite layer, which facilitate Li+ ions intercalating into the cation site, unlike potassium cation and perovskite layer. Also, this negative material can be easily exfoliated to Ca2Nb3O10 layer by using cation exchange process. Then, obtained two-dimensional nanosheets layer, which recently expected to be an advanced electrode material because of its flexibility, chemical stable, and thin film fabricable, can allow Li+ ions to diffuse between the each perovskite layer. Therefore, this new type layered perovskite niobates can be used not only bulk-type lithium ion batteries but also thin film batteries as a negative material.

Ni-rich cathode LiNixCoyMn1-x-yO2 (NCM, x ≥ 0.5) materials are promising cathodes for lithium-ion batteries due to their high energy density and low cost. However, several issues, such as their complex preparation and electrochemical instability have hindered their commercial application. Herein, a simple solvothermal method combined with calcination was employed to synthesize LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2 with micron-sized monodisperse particles, and the influence of the sintering temperature on the structures, morphologies, and electrochemical properties was investigated. The material sintered at 800 °C formed micron-sized particles with monodisperse characteristics, and a well-order layered structure. When charged–discharged in the voltage range of 2.8–4.3 V, it delivered an initial discharge capacity of 175.5 mAh g−1 with a Coulombic efficiency of 80.3% at 0.1 C, and a superior discharge capacity of 135.4 mAh g−1 with a capacity retention of 84.4% after 100 cycles at 1 C. The reliable electrochemical performance is probably attributable to the micron-sized monodisperse particles, which ensured stable crystal structure and fewer side reactions. This work is expected to provide a facile approach to preparing monodisperse particles of different scales, and improve the performance of Ni-rich NCM or other cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries.

<div><div><div><p>To match the high capacity of metallic anodes, all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) re- quire high energy density, long-lasting composite cathodes such as Ni-Mn-Co (NMC)- based lithium oxides mixed with a solid-state electrolyte (SSE). However in practice, cathode capacity typically fades due to NMC cracking and increasing NMC/SSE in- terface debonding because of NMC pulverization, which is only partially mitigated by the application of a high cell pressure during cycling. Using smart processing proto- cols we report a single crystal particulate LiNi0.83Mn0.06Co0.11O2 and Li6PS5Cl SSE composite cathode with outstanding discharge capacity of 210 mAh g−1 at 30 °C. A first cycle coulombic efficiency of >85%, and >99% thereafter, was achieved despite a 5.5% volume change during cycling. A near-practical discharge capacity at a high areal capacity of 8.7 mAh cm−2 was obtained using a novel asymmetric anode/cathode cycling pressure of only 2.5 MPa/0.2 MPa.</p></div></div></div>
