AbstractThis article reviews the research progress in the intercalation compounds for cathode materials for supercapacitors. Typical methods to prepare various intercalation compounds with different nanostructures are summarized. More specifically, the approaches can be subdivided into physical routes such as sonication and microwaves, and chemical routes such as hydrothermal, sol-gel and template methods. The most recent work on nanostructured intercalation compounds including LiCoO2, LiMn2O4, Li[Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3]O2, Li1+xV3O8, NaxMnO2, and KxMnO2 is mainly focused including their preparation and electrochemical performance, and new trends in nanomaterials development for supercapacitors are pointed out.

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.

LiFePO4/C cathode materials were synthesized by Sol-gel method under the same process conditions using different water-soluble lithium source (LiOH, Li2CO3, LiNO3). The phase of synthesized powders were characterized by XRD; and the electrochemical performance of the material was investigated by measurements of cyclic voltammetry, AC impedance measurements, charge and discharge. The results show that the synthesized LiFePO4/C using LiOH as the lithium source has high electrochemical reversibility and low internal impedance. The specific discharge capacity is 147.5mAh/g under the discharge at 0.2C rate. It also has high stability of cycle capacity, and almost no attenuation after 30 cycles. So it has the excellent electrochemical performance.

The lithium vanadium phosphate (Li3V2(PO4)3 solid cathode materials were synthesized by microwave-heated sol-gel method using lithium hydroxide, ammonium metavanadate, phosphate and citric acid as starting materials. The test was conducted with orthogonal experiment method. The optimal conditions for (Li3V2(PO4)3 synthesis were determined to be microwave heating time of 10 min, microwave power of 700 W, Li/V molar ratio of 3.05:2.0 and pH value(gel solution) of 7.0. The synthesized (Li3V2(PO4)3 under the optimal conditions demonstrated perfect crystal growth and good electrochemical performance with initial charge/discharge specific capacity of 172.42 mAh·g-1/154.93 mAh·g-1 and discharge decay rate of 2.25 % after 50 cycles. The lithium ion diffusion coefficient was determined to be 1.434 ×10-8 cm2·s-1 by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and mathematical models derived from simulative equivalent circuit.
