LiMn2O4-yFywere synthesized by a novel method named liquid phase flameless combustion reaction with LiNO3, MnAc2.4H2O and LiF as raw materials calcined at 600 °C for 3 h with HNO3as aided oxidant. All samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and electrochemical performance. The results show that: all samples have main phase of LiMn2O4with impurity of Mn3O4and the vibrational bands of Mn-O are a little red shift by doping F, which indicated that the F- enter the host structure of LiMn2O4successfully. The electrochemical performance show that the initial discharge capacities of F-doped samples are lower than pristine LiMn2O4, which is 117.7 mAh•g-1. However, the capacity retention of LiMn2O3.96F0.04and LiMn2O3.90F0.10are 73.6% and 74.5%, respectively, which are higher than pristine LiMn2O4, which is only 69.0% after 40 cycles.

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).

The layered cathode material for Li-ion batteries was synthesized by mechanical activation-high temperature solid state method. XRD and electrochemical measurements were used to characterize the structure and electrochemical performance of the product. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns reveal that the material is crystallized to layered a-NaFeO2structure. The cathode material with excellent electrochemical performance was obtained by sintering the mixed raw materials with n (Li)/n (M) =1.11. The initial discharge capacity was 128mAh/g at a current density of 20mA/g between 2.7-4.2V and the discharge capacity retention was 96% after 50 cycles.

LiNi0.4Co0.2Mn0.4O2, as the cathode materials for lithium ion battery, were prepared from the precursors, Ni0.4Co0.2Mn0.4 (OH)2 which were synthesized by chemical co-precipitation method. The crystal structure and morphology of the prepared powders have been characterized by X-ray diffraction and SEM, respectively. The results show that Li+/Ni2+ cation mixing decreases with increase of calcination temperature in the range of 700-900°C.The lower degree of cation mixing can improve the transfer of Li ions and lead to layered structure more stable. The discharge capacity and the capacity retention rate of the material is strongly impacted by the reaction temperature.The powders sintered at 900°C show the best electrochemical performance and the initial discharge capacity is 148.3mA·h/g, after 40 cycles, the capacity retention rate is 93.9%.

LiFePO4 as cathode materials for lithium-ion battery were prepared by a liquid-phase method which utilizes FeSO4•7H2O, NH4H2PO4, H2O2, CH3COOLi and glucose as raw materials. The aqueous can be directly used in the synthesis of FePO4•xH2O without any treatment and the ethanol should be distilled before the synthesis of LiFePO4. The result showed that the high purity of FePO4•xH2O can be achieved even prepared with the aqueous which was used for five times. LiFePO4 cathode material prepared with the distilled ethanol exhibited the best initial discharge capacity of 156.3 mAh•g-1 and the capacity retention ratio 99.49% after 30 cycles at 0.1 C rate.

LiNixMn2-xO4 (x=0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5) compounds with spinel crystal structure are synthesized by sol-gel method. The dependence of the physicochemical properties of these compounds has been extensively investigated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), cyclic voltammogram (CV) and charge-discharge test. It is found that as Mn is replaced by Ni, the initial capacity decreases, but the capacity retention is enhanced. Of all the LiNixMn2-xO4 (x=0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4) compounds, the LiNi0.2Mn1.8O4 has best electrochemical performance, about 120mAhg-1 discharge capacity, its capacity retention rate of 96.6% after 100 cycles. However the LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 sample shows excellent electrochemical performance at 4.7 V high potential, 150 mAhg-1 discharge capacity, above 110 mAhg-1 of capacity retention after 42 cycles of charge/discharge. The prepared LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 powders sintered at 750 °C here has Fd3m space group.

The LiCrxMn2-xO4 material used for lithium ion battery cathode material was successfully prepared by a molten-salt flameless combustion synthesis method which used the LiNO3, LiAc•2H2O, Mn(NO3)2, MnAc2•4H2O as raw materials and Cr(NO3)3•9H2O as dopant. The results indicated that, the high-purity spinel LiCrxMn2-xO4was successfully prepared although including a little Mn3O4. The impurity peak intensity of Mn3O4gradually weakened until it disappeared with the increase of the amount of Cr-doped. The product was monophasic LiCrxMn2-xO4when x (Cr) ≥ 0.1. It can be found that with Cr doped, the aggregation of the sample decreased. The structural stability, electrochemical activity and reversibility of LiCrxMn2-xO4was better than that of pristine LiMn2O4. The discharge capacity and capacity retention had been improved. The LiCr0.02Mn1.98O4had the highest initial capacity of 120.7 mAh•g-1and the capacity retention was 78.5% after 40 cycles.

In this study, two compounds of TiNb2O7 and Ti2Nb10O29 were successfully synthesized by mechanochemical method and post-annealing as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries. The effect of annealing atmosphere on the morphology, particle size, and electrochemical characteristics of two compounds was investigated. For these purposes, the reactive materials were milled under an argon atmosphere with a certain mole ratio. Subsequently, each sample was subjected to annealing treatment in two different atmospheres, namely argon and oxygen. Phase and morphology identifications were carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) to identify the phases and evaluate the morphology of the synthesized samples. The charging and discharging tests were conducted using a battery-analyzing device to evaluate the electrochemical properties of the fabricated anodes. Annealing in different atmospheres resulted in variable discharge capacities so that the two compounds of TiNb2O7 and Ti2Nb10O29 annealed under the argon atmosphere showed a capacity of 60 and 66 mAh/g after 179 cycles, respectively, which had a lower capacity than their counterpart under the oxygen atmosphere. The final capacity of the annealed samples in the oxygen atmosphere is 72 and 74 mAh/g, respectively.

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.

The LiFePO4/C composites with different morphology are synthesized by a novel glucose assisted hydrothermal method at various glucose concentrations (from 0 to 0.25mol/L) and the insoluble lithium source Li2CO3, (NH4)2Fe (SO4)2·6H2O and (NH4)2HPO4(n (Li):n (Fe):n (P)=1:1:1) are used as raw materials. The structure, morphology, thermal performance and electrochemical properties of the synthesized composites are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), thermogravimetry/differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC), galvanostatic charge/discharge tests and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The results show that the LiFePO4/C synthesized with 0.125mol/L glucose has the relatively small particles size (0.1~0.5μm) and the well spherical morphology. The optimal sample exhibits a high discharge capacity of 160.0mAh/g at the first cycle and exhibits a good reversibility and stability in CV tests.
