AbstractNa-ion cathode materials operating at high voltage with a stable cycling behavior are needed to develop future high-energy Na-ion cells. However, the irreversible oxygen redox reaction at the high-voltage region in sodium layered cathode materials generates structural instability and poor capacity retention upon cycling. Here, we report a doping strategy by incorporating light-weight boron into the cathode active material lattice to decrease the irreversible oxygen oxidation at high voltages (i.e., >4.0 V vs. Na+/Na). The presence of covalent B–O bonds and the negative charges of the oxygen atoms ensures a robust ligand framework for the NaLi1/9Ni2/9Fe2/9Mn4/9O2 cathode material while mitigating the excessive oxidation of oxygen for charge compensation and avoiding irreversible structural changes during cell operation. The B-doped cathode material promotes reversible transition metal redox reaction enabling a room-temperature capacity of 160.5 mAh g−1 at 25 mA g−1 and capacity retention of 82.8% after 200 cycles at 250 mA g−1. A 71.28 mAh single-coated lab-scale Na-ion pouch cell comprising a pre-sodiated hard carbon-based anode and B-doped cathode material is also reported as proof of concept.

High energy density and rechargeable lithium ion batteries are attracting widely interest in renewable energy fields. The preparation of the high performance materials for electrodes has been regarded as the most challenging and innovative aspect. By utilizing a facile combustion synthesis method, pure nanostructure LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 cathode material for lithium ion batteries were successfully fabricated. The crystal phase of the samples were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction, and micro-morphology as well as electrochemistry properties were also evaluated using FE-SEM, electrochemical charge-discharge test. The result shows the fabricated LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 cathode materials had outstanding crystallinity and near-spherical morphologies. That obtained LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 samples delivered an initial discharge capacity of 137.2 mAhg-1 at the 0.1 C together with excellent cycling stability and rate capability as positive electrodes in a lithium cell. The superior electrochemical performance of the as-prepared samples are owing to nanostructure particles possessing the shorter diffusion path for Li+ transport, and the nanostructure lead to large contact area to effectively improve the charge/discharge properties and the rate property. It is demonstrated that the as-prepared nanostructure LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 samples have potential as cathode materials of lithium-ion battery for future new energy vehicles.

Li/graphite fluoride (GFx) cells have been widely noticed during the past decades due to its highest theoretical capacity in primary lithium batteries, high energy density, long shelf life, safety and a wide operating temperature. However, the low electronic conductivity and discharge potential Li/GFx cells obviously limited its applications. In order to improve the energy performance of Li/GFx cells, an efficient method is to increase the transportation ability of Li+ in cathode. Considering its high specific surface area and large layer spacing, bamboo charcoal is suitable for preparing the cathode materials with highly stored energy. Here, we synthesized the fluorinated bamboo charcoal (FBC) as the novel cathode materials based on gas-solid fluorination. Electrochemical assay show that the lithium/fluorinated bamboo charcoal cells have a novel discharged voltage of 3V versus Li/Li+ electrode, and a special capacity above 750 mAh g-1. The lithium/fluorinated bamboo charcoal cells may be used for new highly stored energy device in the future.

Based on gas-solid fluorination, we synthesized the fluorinated Ketjenblack (FKB). As the cathode materials of lithium batteries, electrochemical assay show that the lithium/FKB cells have a novel discharged voltage of 3V versus Li/Li+ electrode, and a special capacity near 800 mAh g-1. The lithium/FKB cells may be used for a new highly stored energy device.

Li-rich layered oxide cathode materials have become one of the most promising cathode materials for high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries owning to its high theoretical specific capacity, low cost, high operating voltage and environmental friendliness. Yet they suffer from severe capacity and voltage attenuation during prolong cycling, which blocks their commercial application. To clarify these causes, we synthesize 0.5Li2MnO3·0.5LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 (LL-811) with high-nickel-content cathode material by a solid-sate complexation method, and it manifests a lot slower capacity and voltage attenuation during prolong cycling compared to LL-111 and LL-523 cathode materials. The capacity retention at 1C after 100 cycles reaches to 87.5% and the voltage attenuation after 100 cycles is only 0.460 V. Combining X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), it indicates that increasing the nickel content not only stabilizes the structure but also alleviates the attenuation of capacity and voltage. Therefore, it provides a new idea for designing of Li-rich layered oxide cathode materials that suppress voltage and capacity attenuation.
