The boron-doped Ketjenblack delivers an extremely high discharge capacity of 7193 m Ah/g at a current density of 0.1 m A/cm2, and the capacity is about 2.3 times as that of the pristine KB. When the batteries are cycled with different restricted capacity, the boron-doped Ketjenblack based cathodes exhibits higher discharge platform and longer cycle life than Ketjenblack based cathodes. Additionally, the boron-doped Ketjenblack also shows a superior electrocatalytic activity for oxygen reduction in 0.1 mol/L KOH aqueous solution. The improvement in catalytic activity results from the defects and activation sites introduced by boron doping.展开更多

The structure of LiNi1-xCoxO2 was analyzed by XRD. The results show that the unit cell constants a and c decrease as the Co content increases. Although the change of unit cell constants can reflect the substitution of Co ions with Ni ions in the lab, the splits of the pairs of (006), (102) and (108), (110) in the XRD pattern can not reflect the presence of Ni2+ in the lithium site.展开更多
