Electrochemical Evaluation of PbO Nanoparticles as Anode for Lithium Ion Batteries (Technical Note)
author
Abstract:
PbO nanoparticles were synthesized using hydrothermal process. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used in order to investigate of PbO powders. X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern confirmed β-PbO formation during this process. The crystallite size of the powders was calculated using Scherrer formula about 74.6 nm. Electrochemical evaluation of the PbO nanoparticles as anode for Li-ion batteries shows that two reactions were occurred during the first discharge. Some intermediates also were seen during Pb alloying with Li. The cyclic loading of the PbO nanoparticles show reversible capacity higher than 125 mAh g-1

Nanostructured manganese cobalt oxide spinel (MnCo2O4) are prepared by co-precipitation method and calcined at 650 and 750°C. Morphological studies show that by increasing the calcination temperature from 650 to 750°C, morphology of the particles changes from quasi-plate to polyhedral. The MnCo2O4 calcined at 650°C could deliver an initial discharge capacity of 1438 mAh g-1 under current densit...

Among them, Si is the most promising candidate due to its high theoretical specifi c capacity (4200 mAh g −1 ). [ 5 ] However, its practical use in commercial application is limited by both poor cycle retention, caused by high volume change during cycling, and poor rate capabilities, due to its inherent low electron conductivity and ion diffusivity. There are two general approaches to overcome ...

full textMonodispersed mesoporous Li4Ti5O12 submicrospheres as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries: morphology and electrochemical performances.
Although nanosizing Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) materials is an effective way to improve their rate performances, their low tap density and first cycle coulombic efficiency limit their practical applications. To tackle these problems while preserving the advanced rate performances, monodispersed mesoporous LTO submicrospheres are developed here. These submicrospheres are synthesized via a solvothermal meth...
