LiCoPO4 was prepared by a citric acid assisted sol-gel method and exploited as cathode material for lithium ion batteries. TG curve showed the appropriate temperature of the reaction and X-ray diffraction patterns indicated that LiCoPO4 synthesized at different temperatures was crystallized in an orthorhombic structure. During charge-discharge cycles, LiCoPO4 presented a plateaus of 4.8V corresponding to Co3+/Co2+ redox couples, and a discharge capacity of 126.3 mAh/g in the first cycle. The CV curve of LiCoPO4 showed that Li-ion diffusion in LiCoPO4 obeyed a different mechanism between charge and discharge processes.

Composites of {[(1-x-y) LiFe0.333Ni0.333 Co0.333] PO4}, xLi2FePO4F and yLiCoPO4system were synthesized using the sol-gel method. Stoichiometric weights of the mole-fraction of LiOH, FeCl2·4H2O and H3PO4, LiCl, Ni(NO3)2⋅6H2O, Co(Ac)2⋅4H2O, as starting materials of lithium, Iron, Nickel , and Cobalt, in 7 samples of the system, respectively. We exhibited Li1.167 Ni0.222 Co0.389 Fe0.388 PO4 is the best composition for cathode material in this study. Obviously, the used weight of cobalt in these samples is lower compared with LiCoO2 that is an advantage in view point of cost in this study. Charge-discharge haracteristics of the mentioned cathode materials were investigated by performing cycle tests in the range of 2.4–3.8 V (versus Li/Li+). Our results confirmed, although these kind systems can help for removing the disadvantage of cobalt which mainly is its cost and toxic, the performance of these kind systems are similar to the commercial cathode materials in Lithium Ion batteries (LIBs).

Abstract LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 as a promising cathode material for lithium-ion batteries was synthesized by a sol-gel method using nitrate precursor calcined at 800°C for 10 hours. The crystallite nature of samples is confirmed from X-ray diffraction analysis. SEM and TEM analyses were used to investigate the surface morphology of the prepared samples. It was found that, highly crystalline polyhedral RuO2 nanoparticles are well doped on the surface of pristine LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 with a size of about approximately 200 nm. The chemical composition of the prepared samples was characterized by EDX and XPS analyses. The electrochemical performance of the proposed material was studied by cyclic voltammetry and charge/discharge analyses. The electrode kinetics of the samples was studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The developed RuO2 doping may provide an effective strategy to design and synthesize the advanced electrode materials for lithium ion batteries. The doping strategy has dramatically increased the capacity retention from 74 % to 90% with a high discharge capacity of 251.2 mAhg− 1. 3 % RuO2-doped LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 cathode materials have showed the similar characteristics of two potential plateaus obtained at 2.8 and 4.2 V compared with un doped electrode cathode material. These results revealed the enhanced performance of RuO2- doped LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 during insertion and extraction of lithium ions compared to pristine material.

Non-stoichiometric LiFe 1-x PO 4/ C composites were synthesized by a simple sol–gel method. Different impurities were detected in the X-ray diffraction measurements with the change of Fe content. The effects of Fe -poor on the structure and electrochemical performance of LiFePO 4 were investigated. Compared with stoichiometric LiFePO 4/ C , non-stoichiometric samples show better electrochemical performance because they have smaller impedance and faster lithium ion diffusion. Among these non-stoichiometric samples, LiFe 0.94 PO 4/ C cathode delivers the highest capacity of 149 mAh g-1 at 0.2 C and 103 mAh g-1 at 5 C and no capacity loss was found after 100 full cycles.

The Li[Li0.2Co0.4Mn0.4]O2 cathode material was prepared by a sol-gel method. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectroscopic showed that the material was a solid solution of LiCoO2 and Li2MnO3. The material showed a reversible discharge capacity of 155.6 mAhg−1 in the voltage window of 2.0-4.3 V after percharge to 4.6 V. While the material cycled in the same voltage window without precharge could only deliver capacity of 77.6 mAhg−1. This high capacity was attributed to the loss of oxygen and structural rearrangement in the precharge process.

AbstractThe potential battery electrode material V2O3/C has been prepared using a sol–gel thermolysis technique, employing vanadyl hydroxide as precursor and different organic acids as both chelating agents and carbon sources. Composition and morphology of resultant materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopies, physical sorption, and elemental analysis. Stability and electronic properties of model composites with chemically and physically integrated carbon were studied by means of quantum-chemical calculations. All fabricated composites are hierarchically structured and consist of carbon-covered microparticles assembled of polyhedral V2O3 nanograins with intrusions of amorphous carbon at the grain boundaries. Such V2O3/C phase separation is thermodynamically favored while formation of vanadium (oxy)carbides or heavily doped V2O3 is highly unlikely. When used as anode for lithium-ion batteries, the nanocomposite V2O3/C fabricated with citric acid exhibits superior electrochemical performance with an excellent cycle stability and a specific charge capacity of 335 mAh g−1 in cycle 95 at 100 mA g−1. We also find that the used carbon source has only minor effects on the materials’ electrochemical performance.

Carbon nano-coated LiNi 0.8 Co 0.15 Al 0.05 O 2/ C (LNCAO/C) cathode-active materials were prepared by a sol–gel method and investigated as the cathode material for lithium ion batteries. Electrochemical properties including the galvanostatic charge–discharge ability and cyclic voltammogram behavior were measured. Cyclic voltammetry (2.7–4.8 V) showed that the carbon nano-coating improved the "formation" of the LNCAO electrode, which was related to the increased electronic conductivity between the primary particles. The carbon nano-coated LNCAO/C exhibited good electrochemical performance at high C -rate. Also, the thermal stability at a highly oxidized state of the carbon nano-coated LNCAO was remarkably enhanced. The carbon nano-coating layer can serve as a physical and/or (electro-)chemical protection shell for the underlying LNCAO, which is attributed to an increase of the grain connectivity (physical part) and also to the protection of metal oxide from chemical reactions (chemical part).

Cathode material Li[Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3]O2 for lithium-ion batteries with layered hexagonal structure was successfully synthesized in sol-gel way. The influences of calcination temperature (from 700° to 1000°C) on the structure and electrochemical behaviors of Li[Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3]O2 were extensively investigated. The results of XRD show that all samples are isostructural with α-NaFeO2 with a space group R-3m. XPS analysis shows that the oxidation states of Co and Mn were Co3+ and Mn4+ respectively, while Ni exists as Ni2+ and Ni3+. The charge-discharge experiments show that the sample calcined at 850°C delivers 194.8mAh/g in the first cycle at C/5 rate in 2.5-4.3V potential range.
