The structure and properties of LiLaxMn2-xO4 were examined by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, Fourier transform infrared （FT-IR） spectroscopy, scanning electronic microscopy （SEM）, galvanostatic charge-discharge test, and cyclic voltammetry （CV）. XRD results show that the La^3＋ can partially reptace Mn^3＋ in the spinel and the doped materials with La^3＋ have a larger lattice constant compared with pristine LiMn2O4. FT-IR indicates that the absorption peak of Mn^3＋-O and Mn^4＋- O bonds has a red and blue shift with the increase of doping lanthanum in LiLaxMn2-xO4, respectively. The charge-discharge test exhibits that the initial discharge capacity of LiLaxMn2-xO4 drops off, and the capacity retention increases gradually at C/5 discharge rate with the increase of doping lanthanum, and LiLa0.01Mn1.99O4 has a higher discharge capacity and a better cycling performance at 1C discharge rate. CV reveals that the doping La^3＋ is beneficial to the reversible extraction and intercalation of Li^＋ ions.展开更多

The results show that the NiMoO4 modification changes the morphology of Ni O, and the hollow internal morphology combined with porous outer shell of Ni O@NiMoO4 and Ni O@NiMoO4@PPy hybrids shows an increased specific surface area(SSA), and then promotes the transfer of ions and electrons. The shell of NiMoO4 and PPy with high electronic conductivity decreases the charge-transfer reaction resistance of Ni O, and then improves the electrochemical kinetics of Ni O. At 20 Ag^-1, the initial capacitances of Ni O, NiMoO4, Ni O@NiMoO4 and Ni O@NiMoO4@PPy are 456.0, 803.2, 764.4 and 941.6 Fg^-1, respectively. After 10,000 cycles, the corresponding capacitances are 346.8, 510.8, 641.2 and 904.8 Fg^-1, respectively. Especially, the initial capacitance of Ni O@NiMoO4@PPy is 850.2 Fg^-1, and remains 655.2 Fg^-1 with a high retention of 77.1% at30 Ag^-1 even after 30,000 cycles. The calculation result based on density function theory shows that the much stronger Mo-O bonds are crucial for stabilizing the Ni O@NiMoO4 composite, resulting in a good cycling stability of these materials.展开更多

The structure and performance were studied by X-ray diffraction （XRD） rietveld refinement, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, high resolution transmission electron microscopy （HRTEM）, energy dispersive spectrometer （EDS） mapping, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy （EIS） and charge- discharge tests, respectively. The lattice parameters of all samples almost remain the same from the Rietveld refinement, revealing that the crystallographic structure has no obvious difference between pris- tine LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 and FePO4-coated one. All materials show similar morphologies with uniform particle distribution with small particle size, and FePO4 coating does not affect the morphology of LiNi0.5Mnl05O 4 material. EDS mapping and HRTEM show that FePO4 may be successfully wrapped around the surfaces of LiNio.sMnl.s04 particles, and provides an effective coating layer between the electrolyte and the surface of LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 particles. FePO4 （1 wt%）-coated LiNio.sMnl.504 cathode shows the highest discharge capac- ity at high rate （2 C） among all samples. After 80 cycles, the reversible discharge capacity of FePO4 （1 wt%） coated LiNi0.5Mn0.5O4 is 117 mAh g^-1, but the pristine one only has 50 mAh g^-1. FeP04 coating is an effec- tive and controllable way to stabilize the LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4/electrolyte interface, and avoids the direct con- tact between LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 powders and electrolyte, then suppresses the side reactions and enhances the electrochemical performance of the LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4.展开更多

文摘Powders of spinel LiLaxMn2-xO4 were successfully synthesized by the ultrasonic-assisted sol-gel （UASG） method. The structure and properties of LiLaxMn2-xO4 were examined by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, Fourier transform infrared （FT-IR） spectroscopy, scanning electronic microscopy （SEM）, galvanostatic charge-discharge test, and cyclic voltammetry （CV）. XRD results show that the La^3＋ can partially reptace Mn^3＋ in the spinel and the doped materials with La^3＋ have a larger lattice constant compared with pristine LiMn2O4. FT-IR indicates that the absorption peak of Mn^3＋-O and Mn^4＋- O bonds has a red and blue shift with the increase of doping lanthanum in LiLaxMn2-xO4, respectively. The charge-discharge test exhibits that the initial discharge capacity of LiLaxMn2-xO4 drops off, and the capacity retention increases gradually at C/5 discharge rate with the increase of doping lanthanum, and LiLa0.01Mn1.99O4 has a higher discharge capacity and a better cycling performance at 1C discharge rate. CV reveals that the doping La^3＋ is beneficial to the reversible extraction and intercalation of Li^＋ ions.

文摘In this work,we construct Na_(2)Li_(2)Ti_(6)O_(14)@LiAlO_(2)(NLTO-L)composites by a simple ball milled process and post-calcination in air atmosphere to improve the electrochemical performance.The thickness of the LiAlO_(2)coating layer is approximate2 nm.The morphology and particle size of Na_(2)Li_(2)Ti_(6)O_(14)are not dramatically altered after LiAlO_(2)coating.All samples display similar particles with a size range from 150 to 500 nm.The LiAlO_(2)coating can supply fast charge transmission paths with good insertion/extraction dynamics of lithium ions and provide an excellent rate performance and cycle performance of as-prepared Na_(2)Li_(2)Ti_(6)O_(14)@LiAlO_(2)anodes.Therefore,LiAlO_(2)coating efficiently enhances the rate performance and cycle performance of Na_(2)Li_(2)Ti_(6)O_(14)anode,even at large current densities.As a result,Na_(2)Li_(2)Ti_(6)O_(14)@LiAlO_(2)(5 wt%)reveals remarkable rate properties with reversible charge capacity of 238.7,214.7,185.8,168.5 and 139.8 mAh g^(-1)at 50,100,200,300 and 500 mA g^(-1),respectively.Na_(2)Li_(2)Ti_(6)O_(14)@LiAlO_(2)(5 wt%)also possesses a good cycle performance with a de-lithiation capacity of 166.5 mAh g-1 at 500 mA g^(-1)after 200 cycles.Nonetheless,the corresponding de-lithiation capacity of pure Na_(2)Li_(2)Ti_(6)O_(14)is only 140.1 mAh g^(-1).Consequently,LiAlO_(2)coating is efficeient approach to enhance the electrochemical performances of Na_(2)Li_(2)Ti_(6)O_(14).

文摘Na_(2)Li_(2)Ti_(6)O_(14) as a reliable anode material is becoming a hopeful candidate for Li-ion battery.Nevertheless,the pristine Na_(2)Li_(2)Ti_(6)O_(14) usually suffer from bad rate performance and poor cycling stability under high current due to limited diffusion kinetics and poor electrical conductivity.Here,the PPy-coated Na_(2)Li_(2)Ti_(6)O_(14) composites are successfully obtained via the solid-state method and followed by chemical oxidation process in the first time.The results of tests prove that the Na_(2)Li_(2)Ti_(6)O_(14)@PPy composites have better electrochemical performance than the bare Na_(2)Li_(2)Ti_(6)O_(14) because of the excellent electrical conductivity and the special macromolecular architecture of PPy.In particular,the Na_(2) Li_(2) Ti_(6) O_(14) @PPy(4 wt%)exhibits excellent charge capacities of about 223.2,218.0,200.8,184.3 and 172.6 mAh g^(-1) at 50,100,200,300 and500 mA g^(-1),respectively,revealing the best rate capability of all electrode materials.The Na_(2)Li_(2)Ti_(6)O_(14)@PPy(4 wt%)not only has the highest charge capacity under 0.5 mA g^(-1),but also has the highest capacity retention of 85.12%among all samples after 100 loops.Hence,the PPy coating is known as a promising way to improve the electrochemical property of Na_(2)Li_(2)Ti_(6)O_(14).The PPy-coated Na_(2)Li_(2)Ti_(6)O_(14) demonstrates the great prospect as promising negative materials for Li-ion batteries.

文摘In this work, a rational design and construction of porous spherical Ni O@NiMoO4 wrapped with PPy was reported for the application of high-performance supercapacitor(SC). The results show that the NiMoO4 modification changes the morphology of Ni O, and the hollow internal morphology combined with porous outer shell of Ni O@NiMoO4 and Ni O@NiMoO4@PPy hybrids shows an increased specific surface area(SSA), and then promotes the transfer of ions and electrons. The shell of NiMoO4 and PPy with high electronic conductivity decreases the charge-transfer reaction resistance of Ni O, and then improves the electrochemical kinetics of Ni O. At 20 Ag^-1, the initial capacitances of Ni O, NiMoO4, Ni O@NiMoO4 and Ni O@NiMoO4@PPy are 456.0, 803.2, 764.4 and 941.6 Fg^-1, respectively. After 10,000 cycles, the corresponding capacitances are 346.8, 510.8, 641.2 and 904.8 Fg^-1, respectively. Especially, the initial capacitance of Ni O@NiMoO4@PPy is 850.2 Fg^-1, and remains 655.2 Fg^-1 with a high retention of 77.1% at30 Ag^-1 even after 30,000 cycles. The calculation result based on density function theory shows that the much stronger Mo-O bonds are crucial for stabilizing the Ni O@NiMoO4 composite, resulting in a good cycling stability of these materials.

文摘In this work,CNTs-wrapped ZnCo2S4 nanoparticle composites were constructed by a simple hydrothermal process.This process allows to wrap ZnCo2S4 nanoparticle in an interconnected CNT matrix that combines excellent electronic conductivity with good mechanical stability.The CNTs wrapping suppresses the aggregation of ZnCo2S4 nanoparticle,and assures an effective contact between electrolyte and ZnCo2S4 particles,then promotes rapid ion transportation.Specifically,ZnCo2S4@CNTs(5 wt%)composite shows the highest specific surface area,lowest polarization and the highest reversibility during cycling among all samples.ZnCo2S4@CNTs(0,2.5,5 and 10 wt%)electrodes deliver specific capacitances of 360.4,1012.8,1190.4 and 1015.6 F g^(-1) with capacitance retentions of 32.9%,81.3%,84.2%and 79.3%at 10 Ag^(-1) after 10,000 cycles.Even at higher current density of 30 A g^(-1),ZnCo2S4@CNTs(5 wt%)composite also delivers a specific capacitance of about 880 F g^(-1) with a capacitance retention of 93%after 30,000 cycles,revealing outstanding cycling stability.The above results exhibit that ZnCo2S4@CNTs composites can be promising candidates as electrode materials for pseudocapacitors with excellent electrochemical property in future applications.

文摘Pristine LiNi0.5Mnl.5O4 and FePO4-coated one with Fd-3m space groups were prepared by a sol-gel method. The structure and performance were studied by X-ray diffraction （XRD） rietveld refinement, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, high resolution transmission electron microscopy （HRTEM）, energy dispersive spectrometer （EDS） mapping, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy （EIS） and charge- discharge tests, respectively. The lattice parameters of all samples almost remain the same from the Rietveld refinement, revealing that the crystallographic structure has no obvious difference between pris- tine LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 and FePO4-coated one. All materials show similar morphologies with uniform particle distribution with small particle size, and FePO4 coating does not affect the morphology of LiNi0.5Mnl05O 4 material. EDS mapping and HRTEM show that FePO4 may be successfully wrapped around the surfaces of LiNio.sMnl.s04 particles, and provides an effective coating layer between the electrolyte and the surface of LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 particles. FePO4 （1 wt%）-coated LiNio.sMnl.504 cathode shows the highest discharge capac- ity at high rate （2 C） among all samples. After 80 cycles, the reversible discharge capacity of FePO4 （1 wt%） coated LiNi0.5Mn0.5O4 is 117 mAh g^-1, but the pristine one only has 50 mAh g^-1. FeP04 coating is an effec- tive and controllable way to stabilize the LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4/electrolyte interface, and avoids the direct con- tact between LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 powders and electrolyte, then suppresses the side reactions and enhances the electrochemical performance of the LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4.
