Li2FeSiO4/C composites were prepared from silica waste by a traditional solid-state reaction method. The as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), elementary analyzer, galvanostatic charge-discharge test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. XRD results reveal that Li2FeSiO4/C composites fabricated from silica waste have some impurity. SEM results indicate that the particle size of Li2FeSiO4 composites is nearly accord with the particle size of silica waste. Electrochemical measurements indicate that Li2FeSiO4/C composite prepared from silica waste have comparatively good electrochemical performance. It can deliver a specific discharge capacity of 137.6 mAh g-1 at a charge-discharge rate of 0.1 C.

Nanoflakes β-Ni(OH)2microspheres were successfully synthesized by a facile hydrothermal. The microstructures and morphology were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Electrochemical properties studies were carried out using cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostaitc charge/discharge and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy methods, respectively. The results exhibited that the β-Ni(OH)2single electrode had high specific capacitance in KOH electrolyte. A maximum specific capacitance of 1929 F/g could be achieved in 6 M aqueous KOH with 0 to 0.4 V potential at a charge-discharge current density of 6 mA/cm2. Therefore, the obtained nanoflakes β-Ni(OH)2microspheres can be a potential application electrode material for supercapacitors.

To obtain the high specific capacity anode for Lithium-ion battery with stable performance is conducted by synthesizing a composite anode of ZnO-nanorods (ZnO-NR) and as a matrix is the activated carbon (AC). In this study, ZnO-NR synthesized a process that uses basic materials hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) and zinc oxide. Activated carbon has been activated because it has high porosity and good electrical conductivity properties. Variable used is the percentage of ZnO-NR, which is 30wt%, 40wt%, and 50wt%. Characterization of the samples was examined using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET). The battery performance of the samples was obtained by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), and Charge-Discharge (CD) testing after being assembled into coin cell batteries. This study discusses the effect of adding activated carbon to ZnO NR composites. The results showed that the ZnO-NR30/AC has the highest specific capacity of 270.9 mAh g-1. According to Brunner-Emmet-Teller (BET) test, the largest surface area was 631.685 m2 g-1. Electrochemical performance is the best obtained by ZnO-NR30/AC.

Spinel LiMn2O4was modified with Y2O3coating by a chemical process. The crystal structures of the as-prepared samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The charge/discharge characteristics of the modified samples were evaluated at different rates between 3.0 and 4.4V. The discharge capacities of 2.0 wt.% Y2O3-coated LiMn2O4are 116 mAh•g−1, 99.7mAh•g−1, 93.3mAh•g−1and 82.9mAh•g−1at 0.1C, 0.5C, 1C and 2C rates (at 20◦C). The cycle abilities improvement of the spinel LiMn2O4coated with Y2O3are demonstrated at elevated temperature (55◦C) and high rates (2C). From the analysis of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), the improvement of cycle ability may be attributed to the suppression on the formation of the passivating films and the reduction of Mn dissolution, which result from the surface modification with Y2O3.

Carbon–selenium composite positive electrode (CSs@Se) is engineered in this project using a melt diffusion approach with glucose as a precursor, and it demonstrates good electrochemical performance for lithium–selenium batteries. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with EDS analysis are used to characterize the newly designed CSs@Se electrode. To complete the evaluation, electrochemical characterization such as charge–discharge (rate performance and cycle stability), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) tests are done. The findings show that selenium particles are distributed uniformly in mono-sized carbon spheres with enormous surface areas. Furthermore, the charge–discharge test demonstrates that the CSs@Se cathode has a rate performance of 104 mA h g−1 even at current density of 2500 mA g−1 and can sustain stable cycling for 70 cycles with a specific capacity of 270 mA h g−1 at current density of 25 mA g−1. The homogeneous diffusion of selenium particles in the produced spheres is credited with an improved electrochemical performance.

Lithium titanat Lithium titanate (Li4Ti5O12)/LTO is one of more favourable materials to be used as anode electrode to replace graphite in Li-ion battery application. The LTO has a crystal structure that is more stable than graphite, and undergoes less strain during lithium intercalation process. However, along with the increasing demand for batteries with high performance, the capacity of LTO also needs to be increased, among others by combining with a high capacity material, i.e: silicon, which theoretical capacity can reach 4200 mAh/g, but with volumetric strain of 300%. To minimize volume expansion effect, nanoscale silicon particle is used to form the LTO/Si nanocomposite. This research is carried out to synthesize the spinel LTO prepared by hydrothermal and mechanochemical process from xerogel TiO2. During preparation of slurry mixture of active material to make anode sheet, the LTO is mixed with silicon nanoparticle at 5%, 10% and 15% by weight. The coin cell type battery is assembled with lithium metal as the counter electrode. The material characterization instruments used are X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) with Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS) showing the elements mapping. The battery performance is tested using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and charge discharge (CD). From EIS testing, the conductivity values of the samples decrease along with the increasing weight of Si nanoparticles. The CV test shows that the highest capacity of 197.09 mAh/g is achieved on the sample with 5wt% Si-nano. The CD test shows that this LTO/Si nanocomposite is capable to withstand at high charge/discharge rate at until 12 C exceeding the electric car battery requirement at 10 C.

Ni(OH)2/multiwalled carbon nanotubes (Ni(OH)2/MWNTs) nanocomposites were synthesized by hydrothermal method. The microstructures of such nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Electrochemical properties studies were carried out using cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostaitc charge/discharge and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy method. The presence of MWNTs network in the Ni(OH)2 significantly improved the electrical conductivity of the host Ni(OH)2 by the fromation of conducting network of MWNT and the active sites for the redox rection of the metal hydroxide. The specific capacitance of the new composites was significantly improved (MWNTs of 20 wt.%, 2144 F/g) compared to Ni(OH)2 (MWNTs of 0 wt.%, 1772 F/g) in 6 M KOH solution at a charge-discharge current density of 4 mA/cm2. Therefore, the Ni(OH)2/MWNTs nanocomposites can be a potential application electrode material for electrochemical capacitors.

Abstract The Co-Zn ferrite (x=0.00) and Nickel doped Co-Zn ferrites (x=0.24) was synthesized by low cost solid state reaction method and characterized by XRD technique. The X-ray diffraction results for the samples showed the formation of single phase cubic spinel. The lattice constant and particle size for Co-Zn ferrite(x=0.00) is found to be 8.3465 Å and 26.72 nm and for Nickel doped (x=0.24) it is 8.3440 Å and 24.21nm. Micro strain (ε), Dislocation density(ρD), Hopping lengths (LA and LB), Bond lengths (A - O and B-O), Ionic radii (rA and rB), Texture coefficients (Thkl) and Standard deviation (σ) are also reported. The particle size is confirmed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The Williamson-Hall plot and stress-strain plot also employed to understand the mechanical properties of materials.
