However, Li4Ti5O12/C composite materials show better electrochemical rate performance than the as-synthesized Li4Ti5O12. The capacity retention （79%） of the Li4Ti5O12/C composite materials with starch as carbon source, is higher than that of Li4Ti5O12/C composite materials with glucose and sucrose as carbon source at current rate of 2.0C.展开更多

The samples were characterized by thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis （TG/DTA）, X-ray diffractometry （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, cyclic voltammetry （CV）, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy （EIS） and charge/discharge measurements. With increasing the graphite content, the reversible capacity of the Co3O4/graphite composites decreases, while cycling stability improves dramatically, and the addition of graphite obviously decreases the average potential of lithium intercalation/deintercalation. The reversible capacity of the composites with 50% graphite rises from 583 to 725 mA-h/g as the calcination temperature increases from 300 to 500 ℃, and the Co304/graphite composites synthesized at 400 ℃ show the best cycling stability without capacity loss in the initial 20 cycles. peaks, corresponding to the lithium intercalaction/deintercalation for The CV profile of the composite presents two couples of redox graphite and Co3O4, respectively. EIS studies indicate that the electrochemical impedance decreases with increasing the graphite content.展开更多
