A lithium-rich manganese-based cathode material, Li1.25Ni0.2Co0.333Fe0.133Mn0.333O2, was prepared using a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-auxiliary sol-gel process using MnO2 as a template. The effect of the PVA content (0.0–15.0 wt%) on the electrochemical properties and morphology of Li1.25Ni0.2Co0.333Fe0.133Mn0.333O2 was investigated. Analysis of Li1.25Ni0.2Co0.333Fe0.133Mn0.333O2 X-ray diffraction patterns by RIETAN-FP program confirmed the layered α-NaFeO2 structure. The discharge capacity and coulombic efficiency of Li1.25Ni0.2Co0.333Fe0.133Mn0.333O2 in the first cycle were improved with increasing PVA content. In particular, the best material reached a first discharge capacity of 206.0 mAhg−1 and best rate capability (74.8 mAhg−1 at 5 C). Meanwhile, the highest capacity retention was 87.7% for 50 cycles. Finally, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy shows that as the PVA content increases, the charge-transfer resistance decreases.

We report a novel method to fabricate lithium-ion batteries cathodes with the NH4F pretreatment. In this study, NH4F-pretreated Li1.25Ni0.20Fe0.13Co0.33Mn0.33O2 hollow nano-micro hierarchical microspheres were synthesized for use as cathode materials. The X-ray diffraction patterns of NH4F-pretreated Li1.25Ni0.20Co0.33Fe0.13Mn0.33O2 were analyzed with the RIETAN-FP software program, and the results showed that the samples possess a layered α-NaFeO2 structure. The effects of pretreatment with NH4F on the electrochemical performance of the pristine material were evaluated through charge/discharge cycling, the rate performance, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Pretreatment with NH4F significantly improved the discharge capacities and coulombic efficiencies of Li1.25Ni0.20Co0.33Fe0.13Mn0.33O2 in the first cycle and during subsequent electrochemical cycling. The sample pretreated with an appropriate amount of NH4F (NFCM 90) showed the highest discharge capacity (209.1 mA h g−1) and capacity retention (85.2% for 50 cycles at 0.1 C). The EIS results showed that the resistance of the NFCM 90 sample (76.32 Ω) is lower than that of the pristine one (206.2 Ω).

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.
