Synthesis and characterization of LiMn0.7Fe0.3PO4/CNT/C composite used as lithium ion battery cathode has been carried out. The active materials of LiMn0.7Fe0.3PO4 was synthesized via hydrothermal method from the precursors of LiOH, NH4H2PO4, FeSO4.7H2O and MnSO4.7H2O. The activated carbon was pyrolyzed from coconut shell whereas the carbon nanotube (CNT) was commercially available in the market. The composite was prepared using a ball-mill to mix the components homogeneously. Simultaneous thermal analysis STA was used to determine the formation temperature of LiMn0.7Fe0.3PO4 to which the sintering process was conducted at 700 °C. After sintering, the materials in powder forms were characterized using scanning electron microscope (SEM) to examine the morphology, whereas X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to identify the phases formed. The performance of the composite as lithium ion battery cathode was characterized using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and battery analyzer. Secondary electron image from SEM showed that the samples have homogeneous particle distribution. Examination result from X-ray diffraction indicated that LiMn0.7Fe0.3PO4 phase has been successfully synthesized with small impurities from a secondary phase. Performance analysis showed that the presence of activated carbon and CNTs in LiMn0.7Fe0.3PO4 to form LiMn0.7Fe0.3PO4/CNTs/C gives significant improvement in the conductivity; however, some more improvement is still needed for the capacity.

A lithium ion battery anode active material comprised of LiOH (Li) and coconut shell activated carbon (AC) has been synthesized with Li/AC ratios of (w/w) 1/1, 2/1, 3/1, and 4/1 through the sol gel method. The present study aims to ascertain the best Li/AC ratio that produces an anode active material with the best electrical conductivity value and determine the characteristics of the anode active material in terms of functional groups, surface area, crystallinity, and capacity. Based on the electrical conductivity test using LCR, the active material Li/AC 2/1 had the highest electrical conductivity with a value of 2.064x10-3 Sm-1. The conductivity achieved was slightly smaller than that of the active material with no addition of LiOH on the activated carbon at an electrical conductivity of 5.434x10-3 Sm-1. The FTIR spectra of the activated carbon and Li/AC 2/1 showed differences with in the Li-O-C group absorption at 1075 cm-1 wavenumber and the wide absorption in the area of 547.5 cm-1 that represents Li-O vibration. Based on the results of SAA, the activated carbon had a larger surface area than Li/AC 2/1 at 17.057 m2g-1 and 5.615 m2g-1, respectively. The crystallinity of both active materials was low shown by the widening of the diffraction peaks. Tests with cyclic voltammetry (CV) proved that there was a reduction-oxidation reaction for the two samples in the first cycle with a large charge and discharge capacities of the activated carbon of 150.989 mAh and 92.040 mAh, while for Li/AC 2/1 they were 91.103 mAh and 47.580 mAh.

Used of carbon pyrolyzed from table sugar in the synthesis of LiFe(1-x)VxPO4/C for lithium ion battery cathode has been examined. The process was begun by synthesizing LiFePO4through a hydrothermal method with the precursors of LiOH, NH4H2PO4and FeSO4.7H2O. The as-synthesized LiFePO4was then mixed with various H4NO3V concentrations and fixed 3 wt.% of carbon pyrolyzed from table sugar and calcined for 2 hours at 400 °C. The result was ball-milled and was then characterized using a thermal analyzer to determine the transition temperature at which sintering temperature of 700 °C for 4 hours was obtained. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was performed to analyze the crystal structure whereas scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to examine the microstructure and surface morphology. XRD results show that LiFe(1-x)VxPO4/C phase has been formed with an olivine-based structure. SEM results showed an even distribution of LiFe(1-x)VxPO4/C particles. The batteries were prepared from the as-synthesized materials and were tested using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and charge and discharge (CD) tests. The EIS results showed that carbon improved the conductivity. The performance test showed that the addition of vanadium resulted in a capacity of about 51.06 mAh/g with a potential of 3.581 V at charging and 49.42 mAh/g with a potential of 3.319 V at discharging. These results are promising in terms of using table sugar as a cheap carbon source for lithium ion battery cathode development.

Lithium alloying compounds as an anode materials have been a focused for high capacity lithium ion battery due to their highenergy capacity and safety characteristics. Here we report on the preparation of graphite-tin composite by using ball-milling in liquid media. The composite material has been characterized by scanning electron microscope, energy depressive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and Raman spectra. The lithium-ion cell made from graphite-tin composite presented initial discharge capacity of 1065 mAh/g and charge capacity 538 mAh/g, which becomes 528 mAh/g in the second cycle. The composite of graphite-tin with higher capacity compared to pristine graphite is a promising alternative anode material for lithium-ion battery.

To improve the cycle performance of spinel LiMn2O4as the cathode of 4 V class lithium ion batteries, spinel were successfully prepared using the sol-gel method. The dependence of the physicochemical properties of the spinel LiCrxMn2-xO4(x=0,0.05,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4) powders powder has been extensively investigated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), charge-discharge test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results show that as Mn is replaced by Cr, the initial capacity decreases, but the cycling performance improves due to stabilization of spinel structure. Of all, the LiCr0.2Mn1.8O4has best electrochemical performance, 107.6 mAhg-1discharge capacity, 96.1% of the retention after 50 cycles.

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.
