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.

on doping is an effective means to improve the performance of LiFePO4 material. In the present study, composites LiFe (PO4)(1-x/3)Fx/C (x=0.00,0.02,0.04,0.06,0.08,0.10) were synthesized by carbothermal reduction method. The as-synthesized samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope, and their electrochemical performances were investigated by constant current charge-discharge experiment. The results indicated that the low concentration F dopant did not affect the structure of LiFePO4 but considerable improved its electrochemical performances. The LiFe (PO4)0.98F0.06/C materials showed better electrochemical performances than LiFePO4/C. At 0.2 C discharging rate, the LiFe (PO4)0.98F0.06/C materials was capable of delivering reversible specific capacity of 165.1 mAh/g, with fairly stable cycleability. The excellent performance indicates that this mix-doped composite was a very promising cathode material for lithium ion batteries.

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%.

The Li[Li0.2Co0.4Mn0.4]O2 cathode material was prepared by a sol-gel method. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectroscopic showed that the material was a solid solution of LiCoO2 and Li2MnO3. The material showed a reversible discharge capacity of 155.6 mAhg−1 in the voltage window of 2.0-4.3 V after percharge to 4.6 V. While the material cycled in the same voltage window without precharge could only deliver capacity of 77.6 mAhg−1. This high capacity was attributed to the loss of oxygen and structural rearrangement in the precharge process.

Partial oxygen in LiNi0.7Co0.3O2 was replaced by chlorine to form LiNi0.7Co0.3O1.9Cl0.1. Phase structure of LiNi0.7Co0.3O1.9Cl0.1 was identified as a pure hexagonal lattice of α-NaFeO2 type by X-ray diffraction. Discharge capacity of LiNi0.7Co0.3O1.9Cl0.1 was 202 mAh/g in initial cycle at 15 mA/g current density in 2.5- 4.3 V potential window. The constant current charge/discharge experiments and cyclic voltammograms showed that chlorine addition was effective to improve reversible capacity and cycle stability of LiNi0.7Co0.3O2.

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 new type of lithium enriched cathode material Li (Li0.05Ni0.6Fe0.1Mn0.25)O2 was synthesized by sol-gel method with citric acid as a chelating agent.

The crystallite size of the Li (Li0.05Ni0.6Fe0.1Mn0.25)O2 cathode material was found to be 45 nm thereby leads to the feasible movement of lithium ion all through the material. FT-IR spectroscopy was used to confirm the metal-oxygen interaction in the prepared cathode material. The electrical properties of the Li (Li0.05Ni0.6Fe0.1Mn0.25)O2 cathode material were studied by impedance and dielectric spectral analyzes.

The present paper studies a kind of mesoporous carbon (MC) with high electrochemical performance, which was prepared by vapor infiltration method. The microstructure and electrochemical properties of the mesoporous carbon were investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherms, cyclic voltammetry (CV), constant current charge–discharge cycling (CD), and the long-term stability test. The results indicated that the mesoporous carbon has an ordered mesoporous structure, with pore size of about 3.87 nm and surface areas of 1087 m2 ⋅ g-1. The cyclic voltammetry curve reveals typical electrical double-layer capacitor property. After 200 cycles, the CV curves can almost be overlapped, which indicates excellent cycling stability. From the charge/discharge cycling, the specific capacitance of MC is 117 F ⋅ cm-1 in 1.0 M KNO3 electrolyte media at a scan rate of 1.0 mV ⋅ s-1, which decays with increasing current density. The charge–discharge efficiency also decays with it.

A porous vanadium pentoxide ( V2O5 ) material was prepared through a facile sol-gel route using β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) as template reagent. Its crystal structure and morphology were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. The electrochemical properties of the as-prepared V2O5 in 1.0 mol l-1 Li2SO4 aqueous electrolyte were investigated by galvanostatic charging/discharging and cyclic voltammetry. The results revealed that the porous V2O5 could deliver the average capacities of 67, 54 and 42 mAh g-1 at the rates of 0.1, 0.5 and 2 C, respectively. The cycling performances of the V2O5/LiMn2O4 cells suggested that the porous V2O5 material could be used as an anode material for aqueous rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.
