A High‐Energy NASICON‐Type Cathode Material for Na‐Ion Batteries

C/Li2MnSiO4 Nanocomposite Cathode Material for Li-Ion Batteries

Phospho-Olivine as Advanced Cathode Material for Lithium Batteries

Nano-sized and micron-sized LiFePO4 electrode materials were prepared by a sol gel and coprecipitation reactions. An improvement of the cycling and rate performances in lithium cells was observed for the carbon coated LiFePO4 materials. The coating process uses a solid/gas-phase reaction which consists of decomposing propylene gas, as carbon source, inside a reactor containing olivine LiFePO4 m...

Superior hybrid cathode material containing lithium-excess layered material and graphene for lithium-ion batteries.

Graphene-wrapped lithium-excess layered hybrid materials (Li(2)MnO(3)·LiMO(2), M = Mn, Ni, Co, hereafter abbreviated as LMNCO) have been synthesized and investigated as cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Cyclic voltammetry measurement shows a significant reduction of the reaction overpotential in benefit of the graphene conducting framework. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy ...

A Search for the Optimum Lithium Rich Layered Metal Oxide Cathode Material for Li-Ion Batteries

We report the results of a comprehensive study of the relationship between electrochemical performance in Li cells and chemical composition of a series of Li rich layered metal oxides of the general formula xLi2MnO3 · (1-x)LiMn0.33Ni0.33Co0.33O2 in which x = 0,1, 0.2, 0,3, 0.5 or 0.7, synthesized using the same method. In order to identify the cathode material having the optimum Li cell perform...
