ABSTRACTIncreasing the operation voltage of LiCoO2 (LCO) is a direct way to enhance the energy density of the Li-ion batteries. However, at high voltages, the cycling stability degrades very fast due to the irreversible changes in the electrode structure, and formation of an unstable solid electrolyte interface layer. In this work, Ag thin film was prepared on commercial LCO cathode by using magnetron sputtering technique. Ag coated electrode enabled an improved electrochemical performance with a better cycling capability. After 100 cycles, Ag coated LCO delivers a discharge capacity of 106.3 mAh g-1 within 3 - 4.5 V at C/5, which is increased by 45 % compared to that of the uncoated LCO. Coating the electrode surface with Ag thin film also delivered an improved Coulombic efficiency, which is believed to be an indication of suppressed parasitic reactions at the electrode interface. This work may lead to new methods on surface modifications of LCO and other cathode materials to achieve high-capacity Li-ion batteries for high-voltage operations.

The exceptionally high theoretical capacity of silicon as a Li-ion battery anode material is hard to realize and stabilize in practice due to huge volume changes during lithiation/de-lithiation. With the use of black phosphorus additive we could achieve tremendous stability due to strain management.

TiO2 represents one of the promising anode materials for lithium ion batteries due to its high thermal and chemical stability, relatively high theoretical specific capacity and low cost. However, the electrochemical performance, particularly for mesoporous TiO2, is limited and must be further developed. Elemental doping is a viable route to enhance rate capability and discharge capacity of TiO2 anodes in Li-ion batteries. Usually, elemental doping requires elevated temperatures, which represents a challenge, particularly for sulfur as a dopant. In this work, S-doped TiO2 nanotubes were successfully synthesized in situ during the electrochemical anodization of a titanium substrate at room temperature. The electrochemical anodization bath represented an ethylene glycol-based solution containing NH4F along with Na2S2O5 as the sulfur source. The S-doped TiO2 anodes demonstrated a higher areal discharge capacity of 95 µAh·cm−2 at a current rate of 100 µA·cm−2 after 100 cycles, as compared to the pure TiO2 nanotubes (60 µAh·cm−2). S-TiO2 also exhibited a significantly improved rate capability up to 2500 µA·cm−2 as compared to undoped TiO2. The improved electrochemical performance, as compared to pure TiO2 nanotubes, is attributed to a lower impedance in S-doped TiO2 nanotubes (STNTs). Thus, the direct S-doping during the anodization process is a promising and cost-effective route towards improved TiO2 anodes for Li-ion batteries.

Ever-growing development of Li-ion battery has urged the exploitation of new materials as electrodes. Here,SnxTi1-xO2solid-solution nanomaterials were prepared by aqueous solution method. The morphology, structures, and electrochemical performance ofSnxTi1-xO2nanoparticles were systematically investigated. The results indicate that Ti atom can replace the Sn atom to enter the lattice of SnO2to form substitutional solid-solution compounds. The capacity of the solid solution decreases while the stability is improved with the increasing of the Ti content. Solid solution withxof 0.7 exhibits the optimal electrochemical performance. The Sn0.7Ti0.3O2was further modified by highly conductive graphene to enhance its relatively low electrical conductivity. The Sn0.7Ti0.3O2/graphene composite exhibits much improved rate performance, indicating that theSnxTi1-xO2solid solution can be used as a potential anode material for Li-ion batteries.
