The Li2Mg0.15Mn0.4Co0.45SiO4/C solid solution with orthorhombic unit cell (space group Pmn21) was synthesized successfully by combination of wet process and solid-state reaction at high temperature, and its electrochemical performance was investigated primarily. Li2Mg0.15Mn0.4Co0.45SiO4/C composite materials deliver a charge capacity of 302 mA-h/g and a discharge capacity of 171 mA.h/g in the first cycle. The discharge capacity is stabilized at about 100 mA-h/g after 10 cycles at a current density of 10 mA/g in the voltage of 1.5-4.8 V vs Li/Li^+. The results show that Mg-substitution for the Co ions in Li2Mn0.4Co0.6SiO4 improves the stabilization of initial structure and the electrochemical nerformance.展开更多

The nickel ions between the layers could be reduced in situ to form size-tunable Ni nanocrystals, which endowed these nanotubes with tunable magnetic properties. Additionally, when used as the anode material in a lithium ion battery, the layered structure of the Ni3Si2O5(OH)4 nanotubes provided favorable transport kinetics for lithium ions and the discharge capacity reached 226.7 mA.h.g-1 after 21 cycles at a rate of 20 mA.g-1, Furthermore, after the nanotubes were calcined (600 ℃, 4 h) or reduced (180℃ 10 h), the corresponding discharge capacities increased to 277.2 mA.h.g-1 and 308.5 mA.h.g-1, respectively.展开更多
