In this work, highly concentrated electrolytes were prepared by dissolving tetrafluoroborate (LiBF4) salt in the two solvents including tetramethylene sulfone (TMS) and trimethyl phosphate (TMP) with different mole ratios. The results indicated that the electrolyte LiBF4/TMS (1:3) (~3.4 M) possessed the highest oxidation stability of 6.2 V (vs. Li+/Li) and high ionic conductivity of 1.0 mS/cm that could be promising for high voltage Li-ion batteries operated in the voltage range of 3.5-4.9 V. The electrolyte compatibility with high voltage cathode Li || LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO) was evaluated in coin-cell configuration, which displayed high reversible discharge capacity of 113 mAh/g in the first cycle and high initial Coulombic efficiency >91% and remained >80% of the initial capacity at the 100th cycle. By using the cyclic voltammetry (CV) method, the diffusion coefficient was also calculated as about 4.51×10-11 cm2/s.

ABSTRACTIncreasing the operation voltage of LiCoO2 (LCO) is a direct way to enhance the energy density of the Li-ion batteries. However, at high voltages, the cycling stability degrades very fast due to the irreversible changes in the electrode structure, and formation of an unstable solid electrolyte interface layer. In this work, Ag thin film was prepared on commercial LCO cathode by using magnetron sputtering technique. Ag coated electrode enabled an improved electrochemical performance with a better cycling capability. After 100 cycles, Ag coated LCO delivers a discharge capacity of 106.3 mAh g-1 within 3 - 4.5 V at C/5, which is increased by 45 % compared to that of the uncoated LCO. Coating the electrode surface with Ag thin film also delivered an improved Coulombic efficiency, which is believed to be an indication of suppressed parasitic reactions at the electrode interface. This work may lead to new methods on surface modifications of LCO and other cathode materials to achieve high-capacity Li-ion batteries for high-voltage operations.

Dopamine was used as the carbon precursor to prepare SiO/C composite. Dopamine achieved self-polymerization and covered on the surface of the SiO particles in Tris-buffer, and the SiO/C composites were gained after heat-treating in the tube furnace under Argon. X-ray diffraction ( XRD ) , scanning electron microscope ( SEM ) were used to determine the phases obtained and to observe the morphologies of the composite. The galvanostatic discharge/charge test was carried out to characterize the electrochemical properties of the composite. When the sample of the mixed SiO and dopamine at a weight ratio of 1 : 3, the composite showed the best cycle ability with the discharge capacity of 1362 mAh g−1 in the first cycle, and the initial coulombic efficiency is 55.6%, after 50 cycles, the discharge capacity is 442 mAh g−1. The improved stability of the composite is attributed to carbon-coating forming during heat-treatment process.

The low initial coulombic efficiency of a Si-based anode can hinder the performance of practical full-cell Li-ion batteries (LIBs), as the irreversible capacity loss of the anode can diminish the reversible full-cell capacity and the energy efficiency.
