Li1-xLaxV3O8 cathode materials has been synthesized by pechini sol-gel method. The electrochemical performances of Li1-xLaxV3O8(x=0-0.05) have been studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), galvanostatic charge-discharge, and cyclic voltammetric (CV). The results showed that the optimal content of the La3+ doping in LiV3O8 was x=0.01, and the first discharge capacity of Li0.99La0.01V3O8 sample in the voltage range of 2.0-4.0V was 230mAhg-1, which was much higher than that of LiV3O8 (200mAhg-1). The Li0.99La0.01V3O8 cathode also showed higher discharge voltage plateau than LiV3O8 cathode from the CV curves.

In this paper, LiNixMn2−xO4 materials were prepared by solution combustion synthesis method using acetic salts as raw materials and acetic acid as fuel. The phase structures are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Electrochemical performances of the materials are investigated by galvanostatic charge/discharge methods. XRD results revealed that the main phase of the products with increasing Ni3+ content is LiMn2O4, and there is a trace amount of Mn3O4 found in the product with Ni3+ content of 0.05. Electrochemical experiments showed that the capacity and the cyclability of the LiNixMn2−xO4 materials decrease with increasing Ni3+ content. Ni3+ doping has no significantly improvement for the capacity and the cyclability of the LiMn2O4 spinel.

A number of carbide-derived carbon (CDC) samples were successfully synthesized by the electrolysis of SiC powder in molten CaCl2. The electrolysis was conducted at different temperatures (850, 900, and 950°C) for 48 h in argon at an applied constant voltage of 3.1 V. The structure of the resulting carbon is characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscope techniques. Cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge/discharge measurements are applied to investigate electrochemical performances of the SiC-CDC material. It can be seen that the degree of order of the SiC-CDC increases monotonically along with elevation of reaction temperature, while the highest specific surface area 1137.74 m2/g together with a specific capacitance of 161.27 F/g at a current density 300 mA/g was achieved from sample synthesized at 900°C.

A microwave irradiation involved process was applied to fabrication of graphene/polyaniline nanocomposite via in-situ polymerization of aniline monomers on graphene sheets. Structure and morphology of composites were characterized through scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectra, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectra. Electrochemical performances for energy storage applications were examined by cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and galvanostatic charge/discharge measurements. Owing to the homogeneous coating of polyanilline on the large surface of graphene, graphene/polyaniline composite-based electrode exhibits remarkably enhanced capacitive behavior with a specific capacitance of 429 F/g at 0.2 A g-1, a good cyclic stability and an excellent conducting behavior, which are much superior to those of individual components of composites. The improved electrochemical behavior of the composite resulting from the irradiation of microwave suggests the promising potentials for supercapacitors.

AbstractLiMn1.5Ni0.5O4 cathode material was prepared by sol-gel method and annealed at 850°C for 15 hrs. The prepared powder was coated with ZnO by dissolving zinc acetate in methanol and LiMn1.5Ni0.5O4 powder was mixed in this solution followed by the continuous stirring for 4 hr. The LiMn1.5Ni0.5O4 and ZnO coated LiMn1.5Ni0.5O4 powder was characterized using X-ray diffraction, TEM and Raman spectroscopy. The coin cell was fabricated using LiMn1.5Ni0.5O4 and ZnO coated LiMn1.5Ni0.5O4 as cathode materials, LiPF6, dissolved in EC/DMC (1:1 wt ratio) as electrolyte, and Li foil as anode. The cyclic voltammetric and charge-discharge characteristics were carried out for the coin cell using LiMn1.5Ni0.5O4 and ZnO coated LiMn1.5Ni0.5O4 cathode materials. It was found that the ZnO coated LiMn1.5Ni0.5O4 cathode materials showed improved discharge capacity (∼146mAh/g) as compared to the pure LiMn1.5Ni0.5O4 (∼140mAh/g). The discharge capacity retention after 50 cycles was found to be about 94% and 97% for LiMn1.5Ni0.5O4 and ZnO coated LiMn1.5Ni0.5O4 cathode materials, respectively.

Abstract Y3+ substituted strontium hexaferrites having chemical composition SrYxFe12-xO19 (x= 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5) were successfully synthesized by sol-gel auto-combustion method. The structural and morphological studies of prepared samples were investigated by using X-ray diffraction technique, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The X-ray diffraction pattern confirmed the single-phase hexagonal structure of yttrium substituted strontium ferrite and the lattice parameters a and c increased with the substitution of Y3+ ions. The crystallite size also varied with x content from 60 to 80 nm. The morphology was studied by FE-SEM, and the grain size of nanoparticles ranged from 44 to 130 nm. The magnetic properties were investigated by using vibrating sample magnetometer. The value of saturation magnetization decreased from 49.60 to 35.40 emu/g. The dielectric constant decreased non-linearly whereas the electrical dc resistivity increased with the yttrium concentration in strontium hexaferrite.

AbstractThis study presents a preparation of SrFe12O19– SrTiO3 nanocomposite synthesis via the green auto-combustion method. At first, SrFe12O19 nanoparticles were synthesized as a core and then, SrTiO3 nanoparticles were prepared as a shell for it to manufacture SrFe12O19–SrTiO3 nanocomposite. A novel sol-gel auto-combustion green synthesis method has been used with lemon juice as a capping agent. The prepared SrFe12O19–SrTiO3 nanocomposites were characterized by using several techniques to characterize their structural, morphological and magnetic properties. The crystal structures of the nanocomposite were investigated via X-ray diffraction (XRD). The morphology of SrFe12O19– SrTiO3 nanocomposite was studied by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The elemental composition of the materials was analyzed by an energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX). Magnetic properties and hysteresis loop of nanopowder were characterized via vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) in the room temperature. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra of the samples showed the molecular bands of nanoparticles. Also, the photocatalytic behavior of nanocomposites has been checked by the degradation of azo dyes under irradiation of ultraviolet light.

A citric acid anionic surfactant has been applied for nano manganese ferrite (MnFeO3) fabrication using sol gel method. The calcinations have been varied for 300, 600 and 800oC. The UVDR (UV-Vis Diffused Reflectance) analysis shows a high absorptive band gap after 400 nm for the 600oC calcinated MnFeO3. The DTA (Differential Thermal Analysis) profiles exhibit remarkably trapped volatile matters (H2O, CO2, and NO2) in the fabricated MnFeO3 under sol gel heat treatment at 100oC and the peaks disappeared as the calcination increased to 600oC. As the temperature elevated from 100 to 300oC, the absorption peaks of volatile components are disappeared as demonstrated clearly by the FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) spectra of the fabricated material, which 3393 cm-1 corresponded to OH group, 1624 cm-1 to CO group, and 1384 cm-1 to NO group. The XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) spectra show clearly the alteration process from amorphous to crystalline structure as the calcinations increased from 300 to 600oC. In addition, the TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope) analysis exhibits parts of the fabricated MnFeO3 found in cubic nano size of 15-40 nm under interested calcinations and the result is in agreement with that obtained by XRD investigation.
