Multiscale anode materials in lithium ion batteries by combining micro- with nanoparticles: design of mesoporous TiO2 microfibers@nitrogen doped carbon composites.
TiO2 has been considered as a promising anode material for lithium ion batteries. However, its poor rate capability originating from the intrinsically low lithium ion diffusivity and its poor electronic conductivity hampers putting such an application into practice. Both issues can be addressed by nanostructure engineering and conductive surface coating. Herein, we report a template-assisted sy...
متن کاملVisualization of electrode-electrolyte interfaces in LiPF6/EC/DEC electrolyte for lithium ion batteries via in situ TEM.
We report direct visualization of electrochemical lithiation and delithiation of Au anodes in a commercial LiPF6/EC/DEC electrolyte for lithium ion batteries using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The inhomogeneous lithiation, lithium metal dendritic growth, electrolyte decomposition, and solid-electrolyte interface (SEI) formation are observed in situ. These results shed lights on strat...

متن کاملTuning the Outward to Inward Swelling in Lithiated Silicon Nanotubes via Surface Oxide Coating.
Electrochemically induced mechanical degradation hinders the application of Si anodes in advanced lithium-ion batteries. Hollow structures and surface coatings have been often used to mitigate the degradation of Si-based anodes. However, the structural change and degradation mechanism during lithiation/delithiation of hollow Si structures with coatings remain unclear. Here, we combine in situ T...
متن کاملImproved Mechanical and Electrochemical Properties of Artificial Graphite Anode Using Water-Based Binders in Lithium-Ion Batteries
In recent years, many studies have focused on the active materials of anodes to improve the performance of LIBs, while limited attention has been given to polymer binders, which act as inactive ingredients. However, polymer binders have amazing influence on the electrochemical performance of anodes. Herein, to investigate the binding performance between MCMB artificial graphite and the copper c...
