Electrochemical Evaluation of PbO Nanoparticles as Anode for Lithium Ion Batteries (Technical Note)

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 ...

Electrochemical properties of cobalt hydroxychloride microspheres as a new anode material for Li-ion batteries

The use of cobalt hydroxychloride [Co2(OH)3Cl] as an anode material for lithium ion batteries (LIBs) is investigated using spherical shape and ultrafine nanocrystals directly formed by spray pyrolysis from spray solution of cobalt chloride salt. Dot-mapping images of the resulting powders reveal a uniform distribution of Co, O, and Cl throughout the powder. The Co2(OH)3Cl powder prepared direct...

Electrochemical Properties of Si-Ge Heterostructures as an Anode Material for Lithium Ion Batteries

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 ...

Tin Nanoparticles Encapsulated in Hollow TIO2 Spheres as High Performance Anode Materials for Li-Ion Batteries

Electrochemical properties of Sn-decorated SnO nanobranches as an anode of Li-ion battery

Sn-based oxide materials as an anode of lithium ion batteries (LIBs) suffer from the unavoidable mechanical stress originated from huge volume changes during lithiation/delithiation reactions. We synthesized the hierarchical SnO nanobranches (NBs) decorated with Sn nanoparticles on Cu current collector using a vapor transport method. The Sn-decorated SnO NBs as an anode of LIB showed good elect...

Electrochemical properties of an aluminum anode in an ionic liquid electrolyte for rechargeable aluminum-ion batteries.

An aluminum metal, both native and with a very thin oxide film, was investigated as an anode for aluminum-ion batteries. Investigations were carried out in an acidic ionic liquid electrolyte, composed of AlCl3 in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([EMIm]Cl), with β-MnO2/C as a cathode. The battery based on Al metal with a very thin oxide film showed high capacity and stable surface corrosion.
