Lithium ion batteries with LiFePO4 cathode have become the focus of research because they are eco-friendly, stable, high average voltage (3.5 V), and high theoretical capacity (170 mAh/g). However, LiFePO4 has disadvantages such as low electrical conductivity (~10-9 S/cm) and low lithium ion diffusion coefficient (~10-14-10-15 cm2/s) that can inhibit its application as a lithium ion battery cathode material. To increase the electronic conductivity of LiFePO4, it can be done by adding carbon as a coating material, then doping gadolinium metal ions because it has a radius similar to Fe, and increasing sintering temperature. Optimizing the sintering temperature can control particle growth and research was study the sintering temperature of the electronic conductivity of LiFeGdPO4/C and obtain the optimum sintering temperature at LiFeGdPO4/C. The carbothermal reduction method used in synthesis, with a variation of sintering temperature of 800°C, 830°C, 850°C, 870°C, and 900°C using reagents LiH2PO4, Fe2O3, Gd2O3, and carbon black. Furthermore the samples were characterized using XRD, SEM-EDS, and four-point probes. The results of the study were expected to increase the conductivity of LiFePO4. The results show the effect of sintering temperature can increase the electronic conductivity of LiFeGdPO4/C. Samples with a sintering temperature 850°C have the highest conductivity among all temperature variations with a value of 1.11 × 10-5 S cm-1.

Phosphorization of metal oxides/hydoxides to promote electronic conductivity as a promising strategy has attracted enormous attention for improving the electrochemical properties of anode material in lithium ion batteries. For this article, selective phosphorization from NiCo2O4 to NiO/Ni2Co4P3 microspheres was realized as an efficient route to enhance the electrochemical lithium storage properties of bimetal Ni-Co based anode materials. The results show that varying phosphorizaed reagent amount can significantly affect the transformation of crystalline structure from NiCo2O4 to intermediate NiO, hybrid NiO/Ni2Co4P3, and, finally, to Ni2Co4P3, during which alterated sphere morphology, shifted surface valance, and enhanced lithium-ion storage behavior are detected. The optimized phosphorization with 1:3 reagent mass ratio can maintain the spherical architecture, hold hybrid crystal structure, and improve the reversibly electrochemical lithium-ion storage properties. A specific capacity of 415 mAh g−1 is achieved at 100 mA g−1 specific current and maintains at 106 mAh g−1 when the specific current increases to 5000 mA g−1. Even after 200 cycles at 500 mA g−1, the optimized electrode still delivers 224 mAh g−1 of specific capacity, exhibiting desirable cycling stability. We believe that understanding of such selective phosphorization can further evoke a particular research enthusiasm for anode materials in lithium ion battery with high performances.

The dynamic properties of λ- MnO2 under strain can be different to normal conditions as lithium storage material. Results from first-principles calculations show that compressive strain will enhance the electrical conductivity and lithium ion diffusion coefficient simultaneously. We show that 7% compressive strain applied along the (011) direction leads to about two orders of magnitude increase in both the electrical conductivity and Li diffusion coefficient under room temperature. 7% compressive strain applied along the (111) direction will increase the Li diffusion coefficient by five orders of magnitude. These results are important to experimental and industrial preparation and design of λ- MnO2 materials when interfaces are involved. The physical mechanism behind the strain induced improvement of the dynamic performance is discussed.

TiO2-based materials have been widely studied in the field of photocatalysis, sensors, and solar cells. Besides that, TiO2-based materials are of great interest for energy storage and conversion devices, in particular rechargeable lithium ion batteries (LIBs). TiO2has significant advantage due to its low volume change (<4%) during Li ion insertion/desertions process, short paths for fast lithium ion diffusion, and large exposed surface offering more lithium insertion channels. However, the relatively low theoretical capacity and electrical conductivity of TiO2greatly hampered its practical application. Various strategies have been developed to solve these problems, such as designing different nanostructured TiO2to improve electronic conductivity, coating or combining TiO2with carbonaceous materials, incorporating metal oxides to enhance its capacity, and doping with cationic or anionic dopants to form more open channels and active sites for Li ion transport. This review is devoted to the recent progress in enhancing the LIBs performance of TiO2with various synthetic strategies and architectures control. Based on the lithium storage mechanism, we will also bring forward the existing challenges for future exploitation and development of TiO2-based anodes in energy storage, which would guide the development for rationally and efficiently designing more efficient TiO2-based LIBs anodes.
