LiFePO4 (LFPO)has great potential as the cathode material for lithium-ion batteries; it has a high theoretical capacity (170 m·A·h·g−1), high safety, low toxicity and good economic benefits. However, low conductivity and a low diffusion rate inhibit its future development. To overcome these weaknesses, three-dimensional carbon-coated LiFePO4 that incorporates a high capacity, superior conductivity and low volume expansion enables faster electron transport channels. The use of Cetyltrimethyl Ammonium Bromid (CTAB) modification only requires a simple water bath and sintering, without the need to add a carbon source in the LFPO synthesis process. In this way, the electrode shows excellent reversible capacity, as high as 159.8 m·A·h·g−1 at 2 C, superior rate capability with 97.3 m·A·h·g−1at 5 C and good cycling ability, preserving ~84.2% capacity after 500 cycles. By increasing the ion transport rate and enhancing the structural stability of LFPO nanoparticles, the LFPO-positive electrode achieves excellent initial capacity and cycle life through cost-effective and easy-to-implement carbon coating. This simple three-dimensional carbon-coated LiFePO4 provides a new and simple idea for obtaining comprehensive and high-performance electrode materials in the field of lithium cathode materials.

Recently, sodium ion batteries have attracted considerable interest for large-scale electric energy storage as an alternative to lithium ion batteries. However, the development of anode materials with long cycle life, high rate, and high reversible capacity is necessary for the advancement of sodium ion batteries. Bi anode is a promising candidate for sodium ion batteries due to its high theoretical capacity (385 mAh g–1 or 3800 mAh l–1) and high electrical conductivity (7.7 × 105 S m –1). Herein, we report the preparation of Bi anode using micro-sized commercial Bi particles. DME-based electrolyte was used, which is well known for its high ionic conductivity. The Bi anode showed excellent rate-capability up to 16 C-rate, and long cycle life stability with a high reversible capacity of 354 mAh g–1 at 16 C-rate for 50 cycles.
