Improved high-rate performance and cycling stability of 1D LiFePO4 nanorods by a facile annealing process

To alleviate the main limitations of lithium ion diffusion rate and poor electronic conductivity for LiFePO4 cathode material, it is desirable to synthesize nano-size LiFePO4 material due to its enhanced electronic and lithium ion transport rates and thus an improved high-rate performance. However, our previous synthesized LiFePO4 nanorods only exhibited low high-rate and slightly unstable cycle performance. Possible reasons are the poor crystallization and Fe2+ oxidation of LiFePO4 nanorods prepared by hydrothermal method. In this paper, LiFePO4 nanorods were simply dealt with at 700 ℃ for 4 h under the protection of Ar and H2 mixture gas. The electrochemical properties of LiFePO4/Li cells were investigated by galvanostatic test and cyclic voltammetry(CV). The experimental results indicated that the annealed LiFePO4 nanorods delivered an excellent cycling stability and obviously improved capacity of 150 mA·h·g-1 at 1C, and even 122 mA·h·g-1 at 5C.

Synthesis and characterization of triclinic structural LiVPO4F as possible 4.2 V cathode materials for lithium ion batteries

A potential 4.2 V cathode material LiVPO4F for lithium batteries was prepared by two-step reaction method based on a carbon-thermal reduction （CTR） process. Firstly, V2O5, NH4H2PO4 and acetylene black are reacted under an Ar atmosphere to yield VPO4. The transition-metal reduction is facilitated by the CTR based on C→CO transition. These CTR conditions favor stabilization of the vanadium as V^3＋ as well as leaving residual carbon, which is useful in the subsequent electrode processing. Secondly, VPO4 reacts with ElF to yield LiVPO4F product. The property of the LiVPO4F was investigated by X-ray diffractometry （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and electrochemical measurement. XRD studies show that LiVPO4F synthesized has triclinic structure（space group p I ）, isostructural with the naturally occurring mineral tavorite, EiFePO4-OH. SEM image exhibits that the particle size is about 2μm together with homogenous distribution. Electrochemical test shows that the initial discharge capacity of LiVPO4F powder is 119 mA·h/g at the rate of 0.2C with an average discharge voltage of 4.2V （vs Ei/Li^＋）, and the capacity retains 89 mA·h/g after 30 cycles.

Preparation and electrochemical properties of LiMn1.95M0.05O4 （M=Cr, Ni）

The preparation process and electrochemical properties of LiMn2O4 and LiMnl.95M0.05O4 （M = Cr, Ni） were studied. The results show that the decomposition temperature range of xerogel prepared with lithium acetate and manganese acetate as raw rnaterials is large and the decomposition speed is slow. Oxygen consumed is apt to get a prompt supplement during the preparation of LiMn2O4, and carbonization of the organic matter can be reduced or avoided, which is favorable to the combination of lithium and manganese. Using lithium acetate, manganese acetate, chromium nitrate, and nickel nitrate as raw materials and adopting the citric acid complexing method, it has been found that the prepared powders have high purity, high quality stability, and even doping characters. With the increase of sintering temperature, the particle size and crystal lattice constant of LiMn1.95M0.05O4 （M = Cr, Ni） enhance. However, the purity of the product is relatively high and has no obvious change, which is advantageous to the control of the quality of LiMn1.95M0.0504 （M = Cr, Ni）. Doping with a small amount of Cr3. and Ni^2＋ can stabilize the spinel structure of LiMn2O4, suppress the Jahn-Teller effect, and improve the cycling properties but reduce the initial capacity.
