Tin oxide and carbon composite (Sn<inf>6</inf>O<inf>4</inf>(OH)<inf>4</inf>/AG) as the anode in a lithium ion battery

Bismuth Oxide: A New Lithium-Ion Battery Anode.

Bismuth oxide directly grown on nickel foam (p-Bi2O3/Ni) was prepared by a facile polymer-assisted solution approach and was used directly as a lithium-ion battery anode for the first time. The Bi2O3 particles were covered with thin carbon layers, forming network-like sheets on the surface of the Ni foam. The binder-free p-Bi2O3/Ni shows superior electrochemical properties with a capacity of 66...

Silicon Based Composite Anode for Lithium Ion Battery

Sponge-like porous carbon/tin composite anode materials for lithium ion batteries

A novel sponge-like porous C/Sn composite is synthesized by dispersing SnO2 nanoparticles into a softtemplate polymer matrix followed by carbonization. The mesoporous C/Sn anodes can deliver a capacity as high as 1300mAh g 1 after 450 charge/discharge cycles, and provide a capacity of 180mAh g 1 even at 4000 mA g 1 charge/discharge current density. An extra reversible capacity over the theoreti...

A high performance lithium-ion battery using LiNa0.02K0.01FePO4/C as cathode material and anatase TiO2 nanotube arrays as anode material

In this paper we report on a lithium ion battery (LIB) based on improved olivine lithium iron phosphate/carbon (LiFePO4/C) as cathode material and LiNa0.02K0.01FePO4/C  synthesized by sol-gel method and TiO2 nanotube arrays (TNAs) with an anatase phasesynthesized through anodization of Ti foil as an anode electrode. Crystallographic structure and surface morphology of the cathode and anode mate...

A novel Si/Sn composite with entangled ribbon structure as anode materials for lithium ion battery

A novel Si/Sn composite anode material with unique ribbon structure was synthesized by Mechanical Milling (MM) and the structural transformation was studied in the present work. The microstructure characterization shows that Si/Sn composite with idealized entangled ribbon structured can be obtained by milling the mixture of the starting materials, Si and Sn for 20 h. According to the calculated...
