Li[NixCoyMnz]O2 (LiNCM) is one of the candidate cathode material that can replace the currently commercialized LiCoO2 (LCO) cathode material for lithium-ion batteries (LiBs). The morphological feature having primary particle and secondary sphere particle could affect structural stability, tap density and electrochemical performance of LiNCM. In this work, two LiNCM particles without or with the morphological collapse of the secondary particles were prepared by using a co-precipitation-assisted, solid-phase method and ball milling, and its morphological, structural and electrochemical characteristics were evaluated. The results of XRD, and FESEM demonstrated that the as-prepared two LiNCMs have a typical α-NaFeO2 layered structure and the two morphological features of secondary particles needed in this study. The results of electrochemical properties indicated that the LiNCM electrode without collapsed secondary particles have a good stability in cycle performance compared to that with collapse of secondary particles at 0.5, 1.0 and 2 C-rate. The capacity retention of without and with collapsed NCM was 55.8% and 27.3% after 200 cycles at 1 C-rate, respectively.

A Cu doped V2O5film for lithium-ion batteries is prepared by magnetron sputtered using a vanadium target. Coppers are doped in varying proportions to investigate the effect of doping on the electrochemical properties. In comparison, the surface of doped samples is smooth and uniform. And the results of electrochemical tests indicate that the proper doped films (V: Cu=8: 1 by area) exhibit better cycle performance, wider voltage plateaus and higher capacity than other samples.

LiFePO4/graphene nanocomposite was successfully synthesized by rheological phase method and its electrochemical properties as the cathode materials for lithium ion batteries were measured. As the iron source in the synthesis, FeOOH nanorods anchored on graphene were first synthesized. The FeOOH nanorods precursors and the final LiFePO4/graphene nanocomposite products were characterized by XRD, SEM, and TEM. While the FeOOH precursors were nanorods with 5–10 nm in diameter and 10–50 nm in length, the LiFePO4were nanoparticles with 20–100 nm in size. Compared with the electrochemical properties of LiFePO4particles without graphene nanosheets, it is clear that the graphene nanosheets can improve the performances of LiFePO4as the cathode material for lithium ion batteries. The as-synthesized LiFePO4/graphene nanocomposite showed high capacities and good cyclabilities. When measured at room temperature and at the rate of 0.1C(1C = 170 mA g−1), the composite showed a discharge capacity of 156 mA h g−1in the first cycle and a capacity retention of 96% after 15 cycles. The improved performances of the composite are believed to be the result of the three-dimensional conducting network formed by the flexible and planar graphene nanosheets.
