锂电池电极纳米颗粒和粘结剂在充电放电循环中的应力计算

粘结剂作为锂电池电极制造的重要材料,它的用量虽少,却是极板力学性能的主要承担者。现有的复合电极力学行为模型多将粘结剂层假设为线弹性材料,这很难描述粘结剂层的复杂力学行为,因此为了深入理解极板纳米级颗粒与粘合剂在充放电过程的力学行为,根据已有的实验数据拟合得到拟合精度较高的粘弹性本构模型,采用与锂离子扩散方程形式相似的传热方程求解工具模拟活性硅颗粒在充电放电过程的应力变化,研究结果表明硅颗粒锂化时主要的塑性变形发生在第一个充电放电循环过程中,粘结层的最大应力变化类似纳米颗粒间的应力变化,随着粘结剂厚度的增加,粘结层界面的最大应力会逐渐降低;还有,相近应变下粘弹性性本构模型对于粘结剂PVDF流变行为描述好于线弹性和NeoHookean超弹性模型。

Uniform AlF_3 thin layer to improve rate capability of LiNi_(1/3)Co_(1/3) Mn_(1/3)O_2 material for Li-ion batteries

LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 was coated with uniform nano-sized AlF3 layer by chemical precipitation method to improve its rate capability.The samples were characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD),transmission electron microscopy (TEM),energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS),charge-discharge cycling,cyclic voltammetry (CV),and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).Uniform coated layer with a thickness of about 3 nm was observed on the surface of LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 particle by TEM.At 0.5C and 2C rates,1.5% (mass fraction) AlF3-coated LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2/Li in 2.8-4.3 V versus Li/Li+ after 80 cycles showed less than 3% of capacity fading,while those of the bare one were 16.5% and 45.9%,respectively.At 5C rate,the capacity retention of the coated sample after 50 cycles maintained 91.4% of the initial discharge capacity,while that of the bare one decreased to 52.6%.EIS result showed that a little change of charge transfer resistance of the coated sample resulting from uniform thin AlF3 layer was proposed as the main reason why its rate capability was improved obviously.CV result further indicated a greater reversibility for the electrode processes and better electrochemical performance of AlF3-coated layer.

Carbon-coated Fe2O3 hollow sea urchin nanostructures as high-performance anode materials for lithium-ion battery

Fe2O3 has become a promising anode material in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in light of its low cost, high theoretical capacity (1007 mA h g^−1) and abundant reserves on the earth. Nevertheless, the practical application of Fe2O3 as the anode material in LIBs is greatly hindered by several severe issues, such as drastic capacity falloff, short cyclic life and huge volume change during the charge/discharge process. To tackle these limitations, carbon-coated Fe2O3 (Fe2O3@MOFC) composites with a hollow sea urchin nanostructure were prepared by an effective and controllable morphology-inherited strategy. Metal-organic framework (MOF)-coated FeOOH (FeOOH@-MIL-100(Fe)) was applied as the precursor and self-sacrificial template. During annealing, the outer MOF layer protected the structure of inner Fe2O3 from collapsing and converted to a carbon coating layer in situ. When applied as anode materials in LIBs, Fe2O3@MOFC composites showed an initial discharge capacity of 1366.9 mA h g^−1 and a capacity preservation of 1551.3 mA h g^−1 after 200 cycles at a current density of 0.1 A g^−1. When increasing the current density to 1 A g^−1, a reversible and high capacity of 1208.6 mA h g^−1 was obtained. The enhanced electrochemical performance was attributed to the MOF-derived carbon coating layers and the unique hollow sea urchin nanostructures. They mitigated the effects of volume expansion, increased the lithium-ion mobility of electrode, and stabilized the as-formed solid electrolyte interphase films.

Rational synthesis of SnS_2@C hollow microspheres with superior stability for lithium-ion batteries

Tin-based nanomaterials have been extensively explored as high-capacity anode materials for lithium ion batteries（LIBs）. However,the large volume changes upon repeated cycling always cause the pulverization of the electrode materials. Herein,we report the fabrication of uniform SnS_2@C hollow microspheres from hydrothermally prepared SnO_2@C hollow microspheres by a solid-state sulfurization process. The as-prepared hollow SnS_2@C microspheres with unique carbon shell,as electrodes in LIBs,exhibit high reversible capacity of 814 mA h g^（-1） at a current density of 100 mA g^（-1）,good cycling performance（783 mA h g^（-1） for 200 cycles maintained with an average degradation rate of 0.02% per cycle） and remarkable rate capability（reversible capabilities of 433 mA h g^（-1）at 2C）. The hollow space could serve as extra space for volume expansion during the charge-discharge cycling,while the carbon shell can ensure the structural integrity of the microspheres. The preeminent electrochemical performances of the SnS_2@C electrodes demonstrate their promising application as anode materials in the next-generation LIBs.

SnSe2 nanocrystals coupled with hierarchical porous carbon microspheres for long-life sodium ion battery anode

Tin selenides have been attracting great attention as anode materials for the state-of-the-art rechargeable sodium-ion batteries(SIBs)due to their high theoretical capacity and low cost.However,they deliver unsatisfactory performance in practice,owing to their intrinsically low conductivity,sluggish kinetics and volume expansion during the charge-discharge process.Herein,we demonstrate the synthesis of SnSe2 nanocrystals coupled with hierarchical porous carbon(SnSe2 NCs/C)microspheres for boosting SIBs in terms of capacity,rate ability and durability.The unique structure of SnSe2 NCs/C possesses several advantages,including inhibiting the agglomeration of SnSe2 nanoparticles,relieving the volume expansion,accelerating the diffusion kinetics of electrons/ions,enhancing the contact area between the electrode and electrolyte and improving the structural stability of the composite.As a result,the as-obtained SnSe2 NCs/C microspheres show a high reversible capacity(565 mA h g^-1 after 100 cycles at 100 mA g^-1),excellent rate capability,and long cycling life stability(363 mA h g^-1 at1 A g^-1 after 1000 cycles),which represent the best performances among the reported SIBs based on SnSe2-based anode materials.
