Aluminium has shown its superiority in stabilization of the monoclinic VO2(B) in free-standing nanobelts. In this paper, aluminium-doped VO2(B) nanobelts are successfully fabricated by a facile one-step hydrothermal method and used as cathode for lithium-ion battery. XPS results show that Al-doping promotes the formation of high valence state of vanadium in VO2(B) nanobelts. Due to the accommodation of valence state of vanadium and lattice volume, Al-doped VO2(B) nanobelts used as the cathode material for lithium-ion batteries exhibit better lithium storage properties with high capacity of 172[Formula: see text]mAh[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text] and cycling stability than undoped VO2(B) nanobelts. This work demonstrates that the doping of aluminium can significantly enhance the electrochemical performance of VO2(B), suggesting that appropriate cationic doping is an efficient path to improve the electrochemical performance of electrode materials.

Lithium-ion batteries have attracted widespread attention as new energy storage materials, and electrode materials, especially cathode materials, are the main factors affecting the electrochemical performance of lithium-ion batteries, and they also determine the cost of preparing lithium-ion batteries. In recent years, there have been a lot of researches on the selection and modification of cathode materials based on lithium-ion batteries to continuously optimize the electrochemical performance of lithium-ion batteries. This article introduces the research progress of cathode materials for lithium ion batteries, including three types of cathode materials (layer oxide, spinel oxide, polyanionic compound) and three modification methods (doping modification, surface coating modification, nano modification method), and prospects for the future development of lithium ion battery cathode materials.

The monodispersed LiFe[Formula: see text]M[Formula: see text]PO4/C [[Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] 0.0040; [Formula: see text] = Mn[Formula: see text], Co[Formula: see text], Ni[Formula: see text], Cu[Formula: see text], Zn[Formula: see text]] nanocomposites obtained by LiFePO4 modified with binuclear metal aminophthalocyanines (M2(PcTa)2O and M2(PcTa)2C(CF[Formula: see text] are utilized as positive electrode materials for lithium ion batteries. The preparation method for these nanocomposites is a controllable solvothermal method using a mixture of ethylene glycol and [Formula: see text],[Formula: see text]-dimethylformamide as the solvent. The microstructure and electrochemical properties of the different nanocomposites are discussed and compared. The results show that the LiFePO4 samples modified with M2(PcTa)2C(CF[Formula: see text]can improve the initial discharge specific capacity of the lithium ion battery up to 154.2 mAh.g[Formula: see text]at the rate of 0.1 C, and 93.5% of the initial discharge capacity could be retained after 50 cycles. This research shows that the proposed process can enhance the electrochemical performance of high power LiFePO4 for lithium ion batteries.

Well-designed nanostructures are very important for the electrochemical performance of lithium-ion electrode materials. In order to improve the electrochemical performance of ZnO-based anode materials, ZnO/Ni composite film, assembled by ordered hollow microsphere arrays, is designed and fabricated by means of magnetron sputtering technique using a colloidal crystal template composed of a monolayer of ordered polystyrene (PS) microspheres. The ordered hollow microsphere structure as well as the constituent Ni component of the ZnO/Ni film show major advantages of homogenizing electrode reactions, enhancing electrode reaction kinetics and accommodating volume change of active materials, so they can reduce electrode polarization and stabilize electrode structure. Consequently, the resulting ordered ZnO/Ni hollow microspheres arrays deliver an initial charge capacity of 685 mAh g−1, an initial coulombic efficiency of 68%, and a capacity retention rate of 69% after 100 cycles, all of which are higher than those of the pure ZnO film. These results show progress in developing more stable ZnO-based anode materials for lithium ion batteries.
