Nanosized LiCoPO4 (LCP) was prepared using a simple sol-gel method. For the first time, electrophoretic deposition process was employed to fabricate a LiCoPO4 cathode material in order to improve the electrochemical performance. The prepared powder was deposited on titanium plate by electrophoretic deposition and their electrochemical properties were studied. The electrochemical properties were analyzed by using cyclic voltagramm studies, impedance studies, and charge/discharge tests. The thickness of the prepared cathode material was found to be 11-12 µm by using scanning electron microscope. The initial specific capacity and the charge transfer resistance (Rct) of the prepared cathode was 103 mAh/g and 851 Ω, respectively. The charge/discharge profiles showed moderate columbic efficiency of 70%.

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) using a LiFePO4 cathode and graphite anode were assembled in coin cell form and subjected to 1000 charge-discharge cycles at 1, 2, and 5 C at 25 °C. The performance degradation of the LIB cells under different C-rates was analyzed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and scanning electron microscopy. The most severe degradation occurred at 2 C while degradation was mitigated at the highest C-rate of 5 C. EIS data of the equivalent circuit model provided information on the changes in the internal resistance. The charge-transfer resistance within all the cells increased after the cycle test, with the cell cycled at 2 C presenting the greatest increment in the charge-transfer resistance. Agglomerates were observed on the graphite anodes of the cells cycled at 2 and 5 C; these were more abundantly produced in the former cell. The lower degradation of the cell cycled at 5 C was attributed to the lowered capacity utilization of the anode. The larger cell voltage drop caused by the increased C-rate reduced the electrode potential variation allocated to the net electrochemical reactions, contributing to the charge-discharge specific capacity of the cells.

Silicon would seem to be a possible candidate to replace graphite or carbon as anode materials for lithium ion batteries based on its potential high capacity of 4200 mAhg-1. The main problem that must be solved for commercial application of silicon as anode material was the poor cyclic performance due to severe volume expansion during repeated charged-discharged cycles and its low electrical conductivity. In this work, we proposed Phosphorus doped (P-doped) Si films as anodes in lithium ion batteries. The electrochemical properties of the silicon based electrodes were examined by means of charge-discharge and impedance test. In comparison with the bare silicon electrode, the P type silicon electrode exhibited higher specific capacity of 2585 mAhg-1 until the 50th cycle. It was attributed to the improved electrical conductivity of Si film and reduced charge transfer resistance

Zn-doped LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2composite, Li(Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3)1–xZnxO2(x= 0.02; 0.05; 0.08), is synthesized by the sol-gel method. The crystal structure, morphology, and electrochemical performance are investigated via X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and constant current charge/discharge experiment. The result reveals that Zn-doping cathode material can reach the initial charge/discharge capacity of 188.8/162.9 mAh·g−1for Li(Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3)0.98Zn0.02O2and 179.0/154.1 mAh·g−1for Li(Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3)0.95Zn0.05O2with the high voltage of 4.4 V at 0.1 C. Furthermore, the capacity retention of Li(Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3)0.98Zn0.02O2is 95.1% at 0.5 C after 50 cycles at room temperature. The improved electrochemical properties of Zn-doped LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2are attributed to reduced electrode polarization, enhanced capacity reversibility, and excellent cyclic performance.

Cathode material Li[Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3]O2 for lithium-ion batteries with layered hexagonal structure was successfully synthesized in sol-gel way. The influences of calcination temperature (from 700° to 1000°C) on the structure and electrochemical behaviors of Li[Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3]O2 were extensively investigated. The results of XRD show that all samples are isostructural with α-NaFeO2 with a space group R-3m. XPS analysis shows that the oxidation states of Co and Mn were Co3+ and Mn4+ respectively, while Ni exists as Ni2+ and Ni3+. The charge-discharge experiments show that the sample calcined at 850°C delivers 194.8mAh/g in the first cycle at C/5 rate in 2.5-4.3V potential range.

A lithium-rich manganese-based cathode material, Li1.25Ni0.2Co0.333Fe0.133Mn0.333O2, was prepared using a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-auxiliary sol-gel process using MnO2 as a template. The effect of the PVA content (0.0–15.0 wt%) on the electrochemical properties and morphology of Li1.25Ni0.2Co0.333Fe0.133Mn0.333O2 was investigated. Analysis of Li1.25Ni0.2Co0.333Fe0.133Mn0.333O2 X-ray diffraction patterns by RIETAN-FP program confirmed the layered α-NaFeO2 structure. The discharge capacity and coulombic efficiency of Li1.25Ni0.2Co0.333Fe0.133Mn0.333O2 in the first cycle were improved with increasing PVA content. In particular, the best material reached a first discharge capacity of 206.0 mAhg−1 and best rate capability (74.8 mAhg−1 at 5 C). Meanwhile, the highest capacity retention was 87.7% for 50 cycles. Finally, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy shows that as the PVA content increases, the charge-transfer resistance decreases.

A novel strategy for structural design of current-collector-free lithium ion batteries (LIBs) has been proposed, MoO3/CNTs loading on the single side of a separator by a simple spin-coating method. LIBs with such a MoO3-based composite separator eliminate the need for metal current collectors and exhibit an extra high specific capacity (0.2C, ∼1200 mA h g–1). Faster ion transport and lower charge transfer resistance (Rct) of the composite separator were proved compared with the traditional MoO3-based electrode, which results in the increased special capacity. In addition, the pseudocapacitive effect caused by vacancies and narrow interval in the MoO3/CNTs materials also contributes to the high specific capacity of the batteries. The highly efficient ion and electron transport ability of the composite separator were proved in this study, and such a novel design strategy would be an alternative for low-cost LIBs.

Spinel Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) doped with Mg2+ was synthesized by solid-phase reaction method. The Mg2+ doping quantity was 3%, 6%, 9%, and 12%, respectively. The structure and electrochemical performance of the prepared LTO composites were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), and galvanostatic charge-discharge tests. It was found that the doped Mg ion did not change the structure of Li4Ti5O12, and it was evenly distributed around Li4Ti5O12. When Mg2+ doping quantity increased from 3% to 12%, the internal resistance and charge transfer resistance of the composite both decreased. The first discharge specific capacity of 6%-Mg2+ doped LTO composite was 168 mAh/g, which was close to the theoretical capacity of pure lithium titanate (175 mAh/g), and the capacity retention rate was 98% after 100 cycles.

The electrochemical properties of niobium monoxide, NbO, were investigated as a negative electrode material for lithium-ion batteries. Lithium ions were inserted into and extracted from NbO material at potentials < 1.0 V versus Li/Li+, involving formation of a solid electrolyte interface (SEI) on the NbO surface in the first cycle. Its reversible capacity is ~67 mAh g–1 with the capacity retention of ~109% after 50 cycles. The magnitude of charge transfer resistance was greatly decreased by ball-milling the pristine NbO, whereas the ball-milling had no effect on the SEI resistance.

Composites of {[(1-x-y) LiFe0.333Ni0.333 Co0.333] PO4}, xLi2FePO4F and yLiCoPO4system were synthesized using the sol-gel method. Stoichiometric weights of the mole-fraction of LiOH, FeCl2·4H2O and H3PO4, LiCl, Ni(NO3)2⋅6H2O, Co(Ac)2⋅4H2O, as starting materials of lithium, Iron, Nickel , and Cobalt, in 7 samples of the system, respectively. We exhibited Li1.167 Ni0.222 Co0.389 Fe0.388 PO4 is the best composition for cathode material in this study. Obviously, the used weight of cobalt in these samples is lower compared with LiCoO2 that is an advantage in view point of cost in this study. Charge-discharge haracteristics of the mentioned cathode materials were investigated by performing cycle tests in the range of 2.4–3.8 V (versus Li/Li+). Our results confirmed, although these kind systems can help for removing the disadvantage of cobalt which mainly is its cost and toxic, the performance of these kind systems are similar to the commercial cathode materials in Lithium Ion batteries (LIBs).
