Tin oxide/sponge carbon composite (SnO2/C) is synthesized by solvothermal reaction. The expected electrode materials are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Raman spectrum. Related electrochemical properties are carried out by battery comprehensive testing system. The composite could remain its specific capacity at 660.5 mAh g−1 after 200 cycles and behaved superior rate performance. The experimental results show that SnO2/C composite not only owned improved conductivity but also stable frame structure during lithiation/delithiation processes. So SnO2/C composite behaved higher reversible specific capacity and rate performance than those of pure SnO2 or SnC2O4. Based on its outstanding electrochemical performances, the SnO2/C anode electrode is a hopeful candidate for future application in lithium ion battery system.

Tin oxide is one of the most promising electrode materials as a negative electrode for lithium-ion batteries due to its higher theoretical specific capacity than graphite. However, it suffers lack of stability due to volume changes and low electrical conductivity while cycling. To overcome these issues, a new composite consisting of SnO2 and carbonaceous matrix was fabricated. Naturally abundant and renewable chitosan was chosen as a carbon source. The electrode material exhibiting 467 mAh g−1 at the current density of 18 mA g−1 and a capacity fade of only 2% after 70 cycles is a potential candidate for graphite replacement. Such good electrochemical performance is due to strong interaction between amine groups from chitosan and surface hydroxyl groups of SnO2 at the preparation stage. However, the charge storage is mainly contributed by a diffusion-controlled process showing that the best results might be obtained for low current rates.

A ternary rGO/PC/SnO2 nanocomposite with carbon-coated SnO2 homogeneously grown on the surface of rGO using glucose as the soft templating agent delivers an initial specific discharge capacity of 2238.2 mA h g−1 and retains 1467.8 mA h g−1 after 150 cycles at 0.1C (1C = 782 mA g−1). Even at 1C after 200 cycles, the specific capacity is 618.3 mA h g−1.

In this paper, polyaniline/FeFe(CN)6(PANI-FeFe(CN)6) composites were prepared by a simple in-situ oxidation polymerization in perchloric acid (HClO4) solution in which the obtained polyaniline (PANI) self-assembled to form the tube-like morphology, while FeFe(CN)6 with perfect face-centered cubic lattice (FCC)-type structure was well-dispersed in the obtained PANI matrix. As the cathode of lithium ion battery, PANI-FeFe(CN)6 composite demonstrates the improved specific capacity, cycling stability and current rate performances. For PANI-FeFe(CN)6 composite prepared by feed mass ratio of FeFe(CN)[Formula: see text] Aniline to 80:100 (PANI-FeFe(CN)6(80%)), it still remained 95.7[Formula: see text]mAh/g of discharge capacity after 100 cycles, indicating its excellent cycling performances. Especially, its specific capacities were 95.9, 98.8, 91.4, 83.6 and 72[Formula: see text]mAh/g at the current density of 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500[Formula: see text]mA/g, which were obviously higher than that of PANI or FeFe(CN)6, respectively. The improved thermal stability and electrochemical performances for PANI-FeFe(CN)6 composites could be ascribed to the formed interaction between PANI and FeFe(CN)6 components and the enhanced electrical conductivity, which made it a potential candidate as the cathode of lithium battery.

Silicon-based anode materials in recent years has gained tremendous interest due to high theoretical specific capacity for next generation lithium ion battery. Some biomass, such as rice husks (RHs), has contained a lot of inorganic silicon, which are abundant in all the countryside and farmland. Considering that RHs are mainly composed of organic lignin, cellulose, hemicellulose, and inorganic Si compound, they could be used to prepare low-cost electrode materials, such as carbonaceous and silicon-based anode materials. In this work, we will present the synthesis of various anode materials from RHs with prominent performance for lithium ion battery application, such as porous C/SiO[Formula: see text] composites and Al-doped porous carbonized RHs husks composites.

Due to the “shuttle effect”, the cycle performance of lithium sulfur (Li-S) battery is poor and the capacity decays rapidly. Replacing lithium-ion battery is the maximum problem to be overcome. In order to solve this problem, we use a cage like microporous MOF(CPM-5) as a carbon source, which is carbonized at high temperature to get a micro-mesoporous carbon composite material. In addition, indium oxide particles formed during carbonization are deposited on CPM-5 structure, forming a simple core-shell structure CPM-5-C-600. When it is used as the cathode of Li-S battery, the small molecule sulfide can be confined in the micropores, while the existence of large pore size mesopores can provide a channel for the transmission of lithium ions, so as to improve the conductivity of the material and the rate performance of the battery. After 100 cycles, the specific capacity of the battery can be still maintained at 650 mA h·g−1 and the Coulombic efficiency is close to 100%. When the rate goes up to 2 C, the first discharge capacity not only can reach 1400 mA h·g−1, but also still provides 500 mA h·g−1 after 200 cycles, showing excellent rate performance.

LiMn 2 O 4-based materials such as LiMn 2 O 4 and LiMn 1.53 Ni 0.47 O 3.67 were synthesized by both conventional-hydrothermal (CH), microwave-hydrothermal (MH) methods and calcination route. Both reaction temperature and reaction time during MH routes were lower than those of CH routes. LiMn 2 O 4 electrode materials were assembled into lithium-ion battery anodes and their electrochemical performances were studied. The results proved that these LiMn 2 O 4 electrodes can be served as conversion anode materials, and show electrochemical activity during the potential range of 0.01–3.0 V versus Li +/ Li . For LiMn 1.53 Ni 0.47 O 3.67 materials when used as lithium-ion battery anodes, we found that the introduction of Ni can change their electrochemical reaction and thus improve their electrochemical performances.
