热处理温度对TiO2包覆LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2的电化学性能影响

采用共沉淀法制备了镍基正极材料LiNi_(0.8)Co_(0.15)Al_(0.05)O_2(LNCA),通过浸渍-水解法在LNCA表面包覆了1%的TiO_2,研究了热处理温度对1%TiO_2@LiNi_(0.8)Co_(0.15)Al_(0.05)O_2的电化学性能的影响。通过扫描电镜(SEM)、X射线衍射(XRD)、电化学工作站和电池测试仪等对材料进行表征。结果表明,提高热处理温度,可以使样品表面的包覆层均匀致密,但750℃热处理样品的阳离子混排程度有所增加;TiO_2表面包覆并热处理后提高了材料的热稳定性能,有利于提高样品在大倍率放电时的循环性能,热处理温度为650℃时具有最佳的电化学性能。当包覆层为TiO_2和Li_2TiO_3混合物时,对循环性能的改善能力优于包覆层为单纯的TiO_2或Li_2TiO_3。

LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2/石墨锂离子电池高荷电存储老化机理研究

高荷电存储寿命对锂离子电池的使用性能具有重要影响, 但是相关研究却较为缺乏。本研究通过高温加速实验, 研究了LiNi_0.8Co_0.15Al_0.05O₂(NCA)/石墨锂离子电池在55 ℃下的存储寿命, 分析了正负极材料在电池寿命终点时的电化学性能和界面变化。研究结果表明, 在55 ℃、高荷电状态下NCA/石墨锂离子电池的存储寿命约为90 d。在寿命终点时, 正负极活性材料的容量有一定下降, 但不是电池容量衰减的主要原因。界面分析表明, 存储后负极表面固体电解质界面(SEI)膜增长明显, 而正极表面固体电解质界面(PEI)膜无明显变化。SEI膜的增长主要是由于电解液溶剂和锂反应, 造成石墨内锂损失, 使电池内可循环锂减少, 这是NCA/石墨电池在存储过程中容量损失的主要原因。

Structural,electrical and electrochemical behaviours of LiNi0·4 M 0·1Mn1·5O4 (M = Al,Bi) as cathode material for Li-ion batteries

In order to improve the cycling performance of LiMn₂O₄ based cathode materials, we have synthesized a new composition, LiNi_0·4 M _0·1Mn_1·5O₄ (M = Al, Bi), by the sol–gel method. The formation of solid solutions is confirmed by structural characterization using TG/DTA, XRD, FT–IR, EPR, SEM and EPR. A.c.-impedance (Nyquist plot) showed a high frequency semicircle and a sloping line in the low-frequency region. The semicircle is ascribed to the Li-ion migration through the interface from the surface layer of the particles to the electrolyte. Cyclic voltammogram (between 3·5 and 4·9 V) for these materials using CR2032 coin-type cell shows two pairs of redox peaks corresponding to two-step reversible intercalation process, wherein Li-ions occupy two different tetragonal 8a sites in spinel Li _x Mn₂O₄ (x < 1) lattice. The galvanostatic charge/discharge curves for M = Al (77 mAh g^–1) showed reasonably good capacity retention than that of M = Bi (11 mAh g^–1) at the end of 17th cycle.

The equatorial plane of the bipyramid is formed by five oxygen atoms of phthalate anions. The Np-Oeq bond length correlates with the denticity of the phthalate anions. Two types of phthalate anions are localized in the structure. The first tridentate ligand is a bridge between Np(V) atoms in the chains. The second ligand is coordinated to Np in the bidentate fashion to form NpOCCCCO seven-membered chelate ring. The cation [Co(NH₃)₆]^{3 +} has an octahedral structure. The average Co-N distance in the octahedron is 1.961 Å the N-Co-N bond angles are close to 90°. Two water molecules along with [Co(NH₃)₆]^{3 +} cations are located between the anionic chains {NpO₂[(OOC)₂C₆H₄]₂} _n ^{3 n -}. The chains are additionally bonded along the Z-axis of the crystal by O_w-H···O hydrogen bonds.

Crystals of a new hybrid compound C₈H₁₂N⁺, HSO₄^?·H₂O were synthesized in aqueous solution and characterized by X-ray diffraction and IR absorption spectroscopy. This compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic non-centrosymmetrical space group P2₁2₁2₁ and an unit cell with a = 5.74(2) Å, b = 9.17(2) Å, c = 21.34(4) Å, V = 1124(6) Å³, and Z = 4.

The different components are connected by a bi-dimensional network of strong OH…O and NH…O hydrogen bonds. Then, in order to detect phase transitions and watch changes in the conductivity behaviour, investigations by DTA–TG and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and electrical conductivity measurements were carried out.     

Nitrates-melt synthesized LiNi0·8Co0·2O2 and its performance as cathode in Li-ion cells

Layered LiNi_0·8Co_0·2O₂ crystallizing in R $\bar 3$ m space group is synthesized by decomposing the constituent metal-nitrate precursors. Oxidizing nature of metal nitrates stabilizes nickel in +3 oxidation state, enabling a high degree of cation ordering in the layered LiNi_0·8Co_0·2O₂. The powder sample characterized by XRD Rietveld refinement reveals < 2% Li-Ni site exchange in the layers. Scanning electron microscopic studies on the as-synthesized LiNi_0·8Co_0·2O₂ sample reflect well defined particles of cubic morphology with particle size ranging between 200 and 250 nm. Cyclic voltammograms suggest that LiNi_0·8Co_0·2O₂ undergoes phase transformation on first charge with resultant phase being completely reversible in subsequent cycles. The first-charge-cycle phase transition is further supported by impedance spectroscopy that shows substantial reduction in resistance during initial de-intercalation. Galvanostatic charge-discharge cycles reflect a first-discharge capacity of 184 mAh g^?1 which is stabilized at 170 mAh g^?1 over 50 cycles.

The equatorial plane of the Np(1) bipyramid consists of two oxygen atoms of adjacent Np(2)O₂ ⁺ dioxocations, two water molecules, and a single oxygen atom of the phthalate anion. The equatorial plane of the Np(2) bipyramid consists of two oxygen atoms of adjacent Np(1)O₂ ⁺ dioxocations, two oxygen atom of the phthalate anion, and a single water molecule. The bond lengths in the equatorial plane of the bipyramid lie in the following ranges: Np-Oyl 2.373(7)-2.437(7) Å (average 2.397 Å) , Np-Ophth 2.360(7)-2.474(7) Å (average 2.431 Å), and Np-Owater 2.534(8)-2.558(9) Å (average 2.544 Å). The phthalate anions are tridentate bridging ligands binding neptunium atoms only within a single cationic network.     

Influence of hydrothermal treatment on the microstructure and oxidation resistance of a Zn4B2O7·H2O (4ZnO·B2O3·H2O) coating for C/C composites

Antioxidant modification for C/C composites by in situ hydrothermal synthesise at 140 °C of a 4ZnO·B₂O₃·H₂O crystallite coating has been successfully achieved. The influence of hydrothermal time on the phase composition, microstructure of the as-prepared Zn₄B₂O₇·H₂O (4ZnO·B₂O₃·H₂O), and its antioxidant modification for C/C composites were investigated. Samples were characterised by XRD, SEM, isothermal oxidation test and TG-DSC. Results show that, 4ZnO·B₂O₃·H₂O crystalline coating is achieved on the surface of C/C composites after the hydrothermal treatment at 140 °C for time in the range of 2–12 h. A smooth and crack-free 4ZnO·B₂O₃·H₂O layer can be obtained when the hydrothermal time reaches 8 h. Isothermal oxidation test demonstrates that the oxidation resistance of C/C composites is improved. The as-modified composites exhibit only 1.52 g·cm^?2 weight loss after oxidation at 600 °C for 15 h, while the non-modified one shows a 6.57 g·cm^?2 weight loss after only 10 h oxidation. For the uncoated C/C composite the oxidation rate is approximately linear with time (non-protective oxidation), thus at 15 h exposure one can estimate the mass loss to be 6.57 g·cm^?2 after 10 h for direct comparison with the coated samples.

Preparation and characterization of pyrolytically deposited (Co–V–O and Cr–V–O) thin films

The metal acetylacetonates of vanadium, cobalt and chromium were prepared from commercial reagents. The corresponding metal acetylacetonates were mixed in desired ratio and deposited on soda lime glass substrate by metal organic chemical vapor deposition technique. Mixed oxides thin films with atomic composition Co_0.31V_1.37O₅ and Cr_0.5V₂O₅ were obtained. A combination of Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence was used for the transition element identification and atomic compositional study of the thin films. The thickness of the Co–V–O and Cr–V–O thin films was 166 and 127 nm, respectively. The optical spectra of the films were obtained using a Pye Unicam SP8-400 spectrophotometer in the ultraviolet/visible region. The result of the spectral analyses gave the optical bandgap energy of the materials. The temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity measured using the Van der Pauw method indicated that the materials are semiconducting. Their activation energy was obtained from plots of the natural logarithm of conductivity vs. the reciprocal of temperature. The sign of the thermopower shows that both materials are p-type semiconductors.
