The lithium storage properties of graphene nanosheet (GNS) materials as high capacity anode materials for rechargeable lithium secondary batteries (LIB) were investigated. Graphite is a practical anode material used for LIB, because of its capability for reversible lithium ion intercalation in the layered crystals, and the structural similarities of GNS to graphite may provide another type of intercalation anode compound. While the accommodation of lithium in these layered compounds is influenced by the layer spacing between the graphene nanosheets, control of the intergraphene sheet distance through interacting molecules such as carbon nanotubes (CNT) or fullerenes (C60) might be crucial for enhancement of the storage capacity. The specific capacity of GNS was found to be 540 mAh/g, which is much larger than that of graphite, and this was increased up to 730 mAh/g and 784 mAh/g, respectively, by the incorporation of macromolecules of CNT and C60 to the GNS. 相似文献
Li2.6Co0.4N anode material was prepared by solid-state reaction. The material was used to prepare Li2.6Co0.4N/natural graphite composite anode materials with the aim to improve the electrochemical performance of natural graphite. Natural graphite showed a low initial columbic efficiency of 69%, which was improved to ~ 100% by adding 20 wt.% of Li2.6Co0.4N into the material. On the other hand, the composite materials showed better capacity retention than both pure Li2.6Co0.4N and natural graphite. The material containing 20 wt.% of Li2.6Co0.4N exhibited a reversible discharge capacity of 243 mAh g? 1 after thirty cycles, as compared to a capacity of 212 mAh g? 1 for natural graphite. 相似文献
The morphology and electronic structure of a Li4Ti5O12 anode are known to determine its electrical and electrochemical properties in lithium rechargeable batteries. Ag-Li4Ti5O12 nanofibers have been rationally designed and synthesized by an electrospinning technique to meet the requirements of one-dimensional (1D) morphology and superior electrical conductivity. Herein, we have found that the 1D Ag-Li4Ti5O12 nanofibers show enhanced specific capacity, rate capability, and cycling stability compared to bare Li4Ti5O12 nanofibers, due to the Ag nanoparticles (<5 nm), which are mainly distributed at interfaces between Li4Ti5O12 primary particles. This structural morphology gives rise to 20% higher rate capability than bare Li4Ti5O12 nanofibers by facilitating the charge transfer kinetics. Our findings provide an effective way to improve the electrochemical performance of Li4Ti5O12 anodes for lithium rechargeable batteries. 相似文献
Lithium(Li)metal with high theoretical capacity and low electrochemical potential is the most ideal anode for next-generation high-energy batteries.However,the practical implementation of Li anode has been hindered by dendritic growth and volume expansion during cycling,which results in low Coulombic efficiency(CE),short lifespan,and safety hazards.Here,we report a highly stable and dendrite-free Li metal anode by utilizing N-doped hollow porous bowl-like hard carbon/reduced graphene nanosheets(CB@rGO)hybrids as three-dimensional(3D)conductive and lithiophilic scaffold host.The lithiophilic carbon bowl(CB)mainly works as excellent guides during the Li plating process,whereas the rGO layer with high conductivity and mechanical stability maintains the integrity of the composite by confining the volume change in long-range order during cycling.Moreover,the local current density can be reduced due to the 3D conductive framework.Therefore,CB@rGO presents a low lithium metal nucleation overpotential of 18 mV,high CE of 98%,and stable cycling without obvious voltage fluctuation for over 600 cycles at a current density of 1 mA cm-2.Our study not only provides a good CB@rGO host and pre-Lithiated CB@rGO composite anode electrode,but also brings a new strategy of designing 3D electrodes for those active materials suffering from severe volume expansion. 相似文献
Garnet Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) is a promising solid-state electrolyte (SSE) candidate for advanced solid-state lithium batteries (SSLBs). In this work, Li6.25La3Zr2-yAlxTayO12 (x?=?0.25, y?=?0; x?=?0.2, y?=?0.15; x?=?0.15, y?=?0.3; x?=?0.1, y?=?0.45; x?=?0.05, y?=?0.6) and Li6.4La3Zr1.4Ta0.6O12 (LLZT0.6O) ceramic electrolytes, are prepared via a simple sol–gel process. The effect of Al and Ta co-doping levels on the phase, the microstructure and the ionic conductivity of modified LLZO is discussed in detail. Those Al/Ta co-doped LLZO ceramics (LLZATO) with Ta?≥?0.3 per formula unit, are nearly pure cubic structures with a trace of new phases. The ionic conductivities of Li6.25La3Zr1.55Al0.1Ta0.45O12 (LLZA0.1T0.45O) and Li6.25La3Zr1.4Al0.05Ta0.6O12 (LLZA0.05T0.6O), are greatly improved by co-doping Al and Ta, benefitting from the emergence of self-grown LiAlO2 phase, and the microstructure of large grains contacting small grains. Remarkably, the optimal LLZA0.1T0.45O delivers a high ionic conductivity of 6.70?×?10–4 S cm?1 and a low electronic conductivity?~?9.83?×?10–8 S cm?1 at 25 °C. This work provides available enhanced Al/Ta co-doped LLZO ceramic electrolytes with the reduced Ta doping level for solid-state lithium batteries.
Owing to the present exponential development of portable consumer electronics and to the increasing concern about the environment, new energy sources are required that provide more energy in the same volume and/or mass. Within a short period of time, less than three years, many changes in the area of rechargeable batteries for the consumer market have occurred, along with the emergence of several new technologies. The ubiquitous Ni? Cd cells, which are environmentally unfriendly because of the toxicity of Cd, will be replaced by Ni-metal hydride, rocking-chair lithium (or Li-ion), and lithium polymer electrolyte rechargeable cells. This paper reviews recent advances in the field of Li-ion rechargeable batteries. 相似文献
Rechargeable lithium batteries are attractive power sources for electronic devices and are being aggressively developed for vehicular use. Nevertheless, problems with their safety and reliability must be solved for the large-scale use of lithium batteries in transportation and grid-storage applications. In this study, a unique hybrid solid-state electrolyte composed of an ionic liquid electrolyte (LiTFSI/Pyr14TFSI) and BaTiO3 nanosize ceramic particles was prepared without a polymer. The electrolyte exhibited high thermal stability, a wide electrochemical window, good ionic conductivity of 1.3 × 10?3 S·cm?1 at 30 °C, and a remarkably high lithium-ion transference number of 0.35. The solid-state LiFePO4 cell exhibited the best electrochemical properties among the reported solid-state batteries, along with a reasonable rate capability. Li/LiCoO2 cells prepared using this nanocomposite solid electrolyte exhibited high performance at both room temperature and a high temperature, confirming their potential as lithium batteries with enhanced safety and a wide range of operating temperatures. 相似文献
