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
文摘本文以聚苯乙烯球为模板,杨梅单宁/Cu2+混合物为前驱体,制备了三维有序多孔碳内嵌纳米Cu_2O-CuO(3D Cu_2O-CuO@C)锂离子电池负极材料。采用多种技术手段研究了3D Cu_2O-CuO@C结构形貌及其电化学性能。3D Cu_2O-CuO@C在电流密度为1.0 A·g-1的循环性能测试中,500次循环后其放电比容量为635.8 m A·h·g^(-1),表现出了高循环稳定性。在电流密度为8.0 A·g-1的大电流条件下,其放电比容量仍维持在173.4 m A·h·g^(-1),表现出了优异的高倍率性能。
