The influences of the additional silicon and the annealing treatment on the structure and electrochemical performances of the alloys were investigated systemically. Both of the analyses of XRD and SEM reveal that the as-cast and annealed alloys are of a multiphase structure, involving two main phases （La, Mg）2Ni7 and LaNi5 as well as one minor phase LaNi3. The addition of Si and annealing treatment bring on an evident change in the phase abundances and cell parameters of （La, Mg）2Ni7 and LaNi5 phase for the alloy without altering its phase structure. The phase abundances decrease from 74.3% （x=0） to 57.8% （x=0.2） for the （La, Mg）2Ni7 phase, and those of LaNi5 phase increase from 20.2% （x^0） to 37.3% （x=0.2）. As for the electrochemical measurements, adding Si and performing annealing treatment have engendered obvious impacts. The cycle stability of the alloys is improved dramatically, being enhanced from 80.3% to 93.7% for the as-annealed （950 ℃） alloys with Si content increasing from 0 to 0.2. However, the discharge capacity is reduced by adding Si, from 399.4 to 345.3 mA.h/g as the Si content increases from 0 to 0.2. Furthermore, such addition makes the electrochemical kinetic properties of the alloy electrodes first increase and then decrease. Also, it is found that the overall electrochemical properties of the alloys first augment and then fall with the annealing temperature rising.展开更多

X-ray diffraction （XRD） and scanning electron microscope （gEM） were employed to characterize the structure and morphology of Li4Ti4.psW0.05Ol2. W-doping does not change the phase composition and particle morphology, while remarkably improves its cycling stability at high charge/discharge rate. Li4Ti4.95W0.05O12 exhibits an excellent rate capability with a reversible capacity of 131.2 mA.h/g at 10C and even 118.6 mA.h/g at 20C. The substitution of W for Ti site can enhance the electronic conductivity of Li4TisO12 via the generation of mixing Ti4＋/Ti3＋, which indicates that Li4Ti4.psW0.05O12 is promising as a high rate anode for the lithium-ion batteries.展开更多

The Lao.8-xPrxMg0.2Ni3.15Co0.2A10.1Si0.05 （x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4） electrode alloys were fabricated by casting and annealing. The investigation on the structures and electrochemical performances of the alloys was performed. The obtained results reveal that the as-cast and annealed alloys comprise two major phases, （La, Mg）2Ni7 phase with the hexagonal Ce2NiT-type structure and LaNi5 phase with the hexagonal CaCus-type structure, as well as a little residual LaNi3 phase. It is also found that the addition of Pr element observably affects the electrochemical hydrogen storage characteristics of the alloys, just as the discharge capacity and high rate discharge ability （HRD） first rise then fall with the growing of Pr content, and among all the alloys, the as-cast and annealed （x=0.3） alloys generate the largest discharge capacities of 360.8 and 386.5 mA.h/g, respectively. Additionally, the electrochemical cycle stability of all the alloys markedly grows with the increase of Pr content. The capacity retaining rate （S100） at the 100th charging and discharging cycle is enhanced from 64.98% to 77.55% for the as-cast alloy, and from 76.60% to 95.72% for the as-annealed alloy by rising Pr content from 0 to 0.4. Furthermore, the substitution of Pr for La results in first increase and then decrease in the hydrogen diffusion coefficient （D）, the limiting current density （IL） as well as the electrochemical impedance.展开更多

The properties of the zinc electrodes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, constant current charge/discharge measurement, self-discharge test and hydrogen collection experiment. The photographs of zinc electrode show that SHMP can significantly break up the agglomeration, uniforrnize the particle distribution and increase the surface area, which are advantageous to improve the electrochemical performance of zinc electrode. The experimental battery shows a 97 times cycling life and a 30.2% remaining capacity after 4 d storage. The hydrogen collection experimental results indicate that the SHMP can decrease the ratio of hydrogen evolution. Therefore, the corrosion of zinc electrode is suppressed and the charge/discharge efficiency is enhanced.展开更多

文摘Hexagonal porous Nb2O5 was synthesized for the first time via a facile solid-state reaction.The structure and electrochemical properties have been optimized through tuning heating temperature.X-ray diffraction results indicate that pseudo hexagonal Nb2O5(TT-Nb2O5)and orthorhombic Nb2O5 have been synthesized at different temperatures.Hexagonal sheet and porous structure of Nb2O5 were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and N2-adsorption-desorption isotherms.The as-prepared TT-Nb2O5(heated at 600℃)shows the best performance with a remarkable charge capacity of 178 mA∙h/g at 0.2C,which is higher than that of T-Nb2O5.Even at 20℃,TT-Nb2O5 offers unprecedented rate capability up to 86 mA∙h/g.The high rate capacity is due to pseudocapacitive Li+intercalation mechanism of TT-Nb2O5.The reported results demonstrate that Nb2O5 with good crystal structure and high specific surface area is a powerful composite design for high-rate and safe anode materials.

文摘The La-Mg-Ni-based A2B7-type La0.5Mg0.2Ni3.3Co0.2Six （x=0-0.2） electrode alloys were prepared by casting and annealing. The influences of the additional silicon and the annealing treatment on the structure and electrochemical performances of the alloys were investigated systemically. Both of the analyses of XRD and SEM reveal that the as-cast and annealed alloys are of a multiphase structure, involving two main phases （La, Mg）2Ni7 and LaNi5 as well as one minor phase LaNi3. The addition of Si and annealing treatment bring on an evident change in the phase abundances and cell parameters of （La, Mg）2Ni7 and LaNi5 phase for the alloy without altering its phase structure. The phase abundances decrease from 74.3% （x=0） to 57.8% （x=0.2） for the （La, Mg）2Ni7 phase, and those of LaNi5 phase increase from 20.2% （x^0） to 37.3% （x=0.2）. As for the electrochemical measurements, adding Si and performing annealing treatment have engendered obvious impacts. The cycle stability of the alloys is improved dramatically, being enhanced from 80.3% to 93.7% for the as-annealed （950 ℃） alloys with Si content increasing from 0 to 0.2. However, the discharge capacity is reduced by adding Si, from 399.4 to 345.3 mA.h/g as the Si content increases from 0 to 0.2. Furthermore, such addition makes the electrochemical kinetic properties of the alloy electrodes first increase and then decrease. Also, it is found that the overall electrochemical properties of the alloys first augment and then fall with the annealing temperature rising.

文摘The conversion reaction-based anode materials of sodium ion batteries have relatively high capacity;however,the application of these materials is limited by their structural collapse due to the poor structure stability.In this work,MoSe_(2) nanosheets were synthesized by a solvothermal method.An organic solvent was intercalated into the MoSe_(2) materials to enlarge the interlayer spacing and improve the conductivity of the material.The MoSe_(2) material was coated with an organic pyrolysis carbon and then a uniform carbon layer was formed.The surface carbon hybridization of the nanosheet materials was realized by the introduction of heteroatoms during the sintering process.The as-prepared MoSe_(2)@N,P-C composites showed a superior rate performance as it could maintain the integrity of the morphology and structure under a high current density.The composites had a discharge specific capacity of 302.4 mA·h/g after 100 cycles at 0.5 A/g,and the capacity retention rate was 84.96%.

文摘With increasing demand on energy density of lithium-ion battery,wide electrochemical window and safety performance are the crucial request for next generation electrolyte.Gel-electrolyte as a pioneer for electrolyte solidization development aims to solve the safety and electrochemical window problems.However,low ionic conductivity and poor physical performance prohibit its further application.Herein,a fast-ionic conductor(Li_(2.64)(Sc_(0.9)Ti_(0.1))_(2)(PO_(4))_(3))(LSTP)was added into poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene)(PVDF-HFP)base gel-electrolyte to enhance mechanical properties and ionic conductivity.Evidences reveal that LSTP was able to weaken interforce between polymer chains,which increased the ionic conductibility and decreased interface resistance during the cycling significantly.The obtained LiFePO_(4)/hybrid gel-electrolyte/Li-metal coin cell exhibited excellent rate capacity(145 mA·h/g at 1C,95 mA·h/g at 3C,28℃)which presented a potential that can be comparable with commercialized liquid electrolyte system.

文摘Sb-based materials have been considered one of the most promising anode electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries,whereas they were commonly synthesized through time-consuming and costly processes.Here,Sb@Sb2O3/reduced graphene oxide(Sb@Sb2O3/rGO)composite was successfully synthesized by a facile one-pot chemical method at ambient temperature.Based on the XRD and TGA analysis,the mass fractions of Sb and Sb2O3 in the Sb@Sb2O3/rGO composite are ca.34.05%and 26.6%,respectively.When used as an alternative electrode for lithium ion batteries,a high reversible capacity of 790.9 mA·h/g could be delivered after 200 cycles with the capacity retention of 93.8%at a current density of 200 mA/g.And a capacity of 260 mA·h/g could be maintained even at 2000 mA/g.These excellent electrochemical properties can be attributed to its well-constructed nanostructure.The Sb and Sb2O3 particles with size of 10 nm were tightly anchored on rGO sheets through electronic coupling,which could not only alleviate the stress induced by the volume expansion,suppress the aggregation of Sb and Sb2O3 particles,but also improve the electron transfer ability during cycling.

文摘Alloy anodes were studied for pursuing Sn-based microcomposite synthesis, assembly and performance for lithium ion batteries. The self-assembled Sn-Co-C composites with nano-scaled microstructures were prepared via solution method and carbothermal technology. The morphology and physical structure were investigated with scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The as-prepared materials were assembled to half cell coin for the purpose of discussing the galvanostatic cycling, cyclic voltammetry and rate-capability performance. Results reveal that nanoscaled CoSn 2 alloys covered with Sn and C layer by layer are wrapped by cross-linked porous carbon network to form spherical microstructure. This distinguishing feature of Sn-Co-C composites provides a possible solution to the problems of Sn particle aggregation and poor electron transport, and has strong effect on improving electrochemical performance.
文摘W-doped Li4TisO12 in the form of Li4Ti4.95W0.osO12 was firstly synthesized via solid state reaction. X-ray diffraction （XRD） and scanning electron microscope （gEM） were employed to characterize the structure and morphology of Li4Ti4.psW0.05Ol2. W-doping does not change the phase composition and particle morphology, while remarkably improves its cycling stability at high charge/discharge rate. Li4Ti4.95W0.05O12 exhibits an excellent rate capability with a reversible capacity of 131.2 mA.h/g at 10C and even 118.6 mA.h/g at 20C. The substitution of W for Ti site can enhance the electronic conductivity of Li4TisO12 via the generation of mixing Ti4＋/Ti3＋, which indicates that Li4Ti4.psW0.05O12 is promising as a high rate anode for the lithium-ion batteries.

文摘For the purpose of improving the electrochemical cycle stability of the La-Mg-Ni based A2BT-type electrode alloys, both reducing Mg content and substituting La with Pr were adopted. The Lao.8-xPrxMg0.2Ni3.15Co0.2A10.1Si0.05 （x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4） electrode alloys were fabricated by casting and annealing. The investigation on the structures and electrochemical performances of the alloys was performed. The obtained results reveal that the as-cast and annealed alloys comprise two major phases, （La, Mg）2Ni7 phase with the hexagonal Ce2NiT-type structure and LaNi5 phase with the hexagonal CaCus-type structure, as well as a little residual LaNi3 phase. It is also found that the addition of Pr element observably affects the electrochemical hydrogen storage characteristics of the alloys, just as the discharge capacity and high rate discharge ability （HRD） first rise then fall with the growing of Pr content, and among all the alloys, the as-cast and annealed （x=0.3） alloys generate the largest discharge capacities of 360.8 and 386.5 mA.h/g, respectively. Additionally, the electrochemical cycle stability of all the alloys markedly grows with the increase of Pr content. The capacity retaining rate （S100） at the 100th charging and discharging cycle is enhanced from 64.98% to 77.55% for the as-cast alloy, and from 76.60% to 95.72% for the as-annealed alloy by rising Pr content from 0 to 0.4. Furthermore, the substitution of Pr for La results in first increase and then decrease in the hydrogen diffusion coefficient （D）, the limiting current density （IL） as well as the electrochemical impedance.

文摘A new additive of sodium hexametaphosphate （SHMP） was introduced to the paste of zinc electrode, with the purpose of preventing the zinc active materials from agglomerating and improving the stability of batteries. The properties of the zinc electrodes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, constant current charge/discharge measurement, self-discharge test and hydrogen collection experiment. The photographs of zinc electrode show that SHMP can significantly break up the agglomeration, uniforrnize the particle distribution and increase the surface area, which are advantageous to improve the electrochemical performance of zinc electrode. The experimental battery shows a 97 times cycling life and a 30.2% remaining capacity after 4 d storage. The hydrogen collection experimental results indicate that the SHMP can decrease the ratio of hydrogen evolution. Therefore, the corrosion of zinc electrode is suppressed and the charge/discharge efficiency is enhanced.

文摘Lithium(Li)-rich manganese(Mn)-based cathode Li_(1.2)Ni_(0.13)Co_(0.13)Mn_(0.54)O_(2)(LRNCM)has attracted considerable attention owing to its high specific discharge capacity and low cost.However,unsatisfactory cycle performance and poor rate property hinder its large-scale application.The fast ionic conductor has been widely used as the cathode coating material because of its superior stability and excellent lithium-ion conductivity rate.In this study,Li_(1.2)Ni_(0.13)Co_(0.13)Mn_(0.54)O_(2) is modified by using Li_(1.4)Al_(0.4)Ti_(1.6)(PO_(4))_(3)(LATP)ionic conductor.The electrochemical test results show that the discharge capacity of the resulting LRNCM@LATP1 sample is 198 mA·h/g after 100 cycles at 0.2C,with a capacity retention of 81%.Compared with the uncoated pristine LRNCM(188.4 m A·h/g and 76%),LRNCM after the LATP modification shows superior cycle performance.Moreover,the lithium-ion diffusion coefficient D_(Li+)is a crucial factor affecting the rate performance,and the D_(Li+)of the LRNCM material is improved from 4.94×10^(-13) to 5.68×10^(-12)cm^(2)/s after modification.The specific capacity of LRNCM@LATP1 reaches 102.5 mA·h/g at 5C,with an improved rate performance.Thus,the modification layer can considerably enhance the electrochemical performance of LRNCM.
