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

Facile synthesis of MoS2@CMK-3 nanocomposite as an improved anode material for lithium-ion batteries.

MoS(2)@CMK-3 nanocomposite consisting of confined nanosized MoS(2) in CMK-3 carbon matrix exhibits much improved cycling performance and rate capability due to the enlarged interlayer distance and favorable conductivity.

Initial Discharge Capacity of Manganese Cobaltite as Anode Material for Lithium Ion Batteries

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...

Silicon/single-walled carbon nanotube composite paper as a flexible anode material for lithium ion batteries

Low-cost carbon-silicon nanocomposite anodes for lithium ion batteries

The specific energy of the existing lithium ion battery cells is limited because intercalation electrodes made of activated carbon (AC) materials have limited lithium ion storage capacities. Carbon nanotubes, graphene, and carbon nanofibers are the most sought alternatives to replace AC materials but their synthesis cost makes them highly prohibitive. Silicon has recently emerged as a strong ca...

Superior storage performance of a Si@SiOx/C nanocomposite as anode material for lithium-ion batteries.

Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are essential to portable electronic devices. Owing to the rapid development of such equipment there is an increasing demand for lithium-ion batteries with high energy density and long cycle life. For high energy density, the electrode materials in the lithium-ion batteries must possess high specific storage capacity and coulombic efficiency. Graphite and LiCo...

Porous TiO2/C nanocomposite shells as a high-performance anode material for lithium-ion batteries.

Porous TiO2/C nanocomposite shells with high capacity, excellent cycle stability, and rate performance have been prepared. The synthesis involves coating colloidal TiO2 nanoshells with a resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) layer with controllable thickness through a sol-gel-like process, and calcining the composites at 700 °C in an inert atmosphere to induce crystallization from amorphous TiO2 to anat...
