Abstract:

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 density of 45 mA g-1. The effects of calcination temperature on the initial discharge capacity of the electrode have also been investigated, The MnCo2O4 calcined at 650°C shows the higher initial discharge capacity due to the higher surface area (due to smaller particles) and weaker crystallinity. The influences of electrode porosities also have been studied, which suggest the electrochemical performance is determined by both the particle-to-particle contact and wettability of the electrode. An increase of the internal resistance of the electrode is observed with increasing electrode thickness (active material loading), which is the main factor responsible for the significant capacity loss for thicker electrode.

Synthesis of Hard Carbon- Silicon Nanocomposite as Anode Active Material for Lithium-Ion Batteries

In this research, using phenolic resin as the precursor of carbon and various amounts of ethylene glycol as a pore former, porous samples of hard carbon were synthesized. Samples were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and N2 adsorption-desorption methods. Broad diffraction peaks represent the amorphous structure of samples. Moreover, the gas adsorption-desorption curves showed that the a...

Mn3O4-graphene hybrid as a high-capacity anode material for lithium ion batteries.

We developed two-step solution-phase reactions to form hybrid materials of Mn(3)O(4) nanoparticles on reduced graphene oxide (RGO) sheets for lithium ion battery applications. Selective growth of Mn(3)O(4) nanoparticles on RGO sheets, in contrast to free particle growth in solution, allowed for the electrically insulating Mn(3)O(4) nanoparticles to be wired up to a current collector through the...
