Microstructures and phase compositions of the as-sintered and post-electrolyzed samples were investigated. The impurity contents in the electrolyte and the cathode metal were detected in order to investigate the corrosion characteristic of the elements of Fe, Ni and Cu in the anode. A dense NiFe2O4 layer was observed on the surface of anode and thickened with prolonging the electrolysis time. In the newly formed dense ceramic layer, NiO phase disappeared as a result of being swallowed by NiFe2O4 phase, and the metal phase was oxidized during the electrolysis in which Cu element showed a higher dissolution rate than Fe and Ni elements. The formation process of the dense ceramic layer during the electrolysis was presented and explained by using the corrosion mode of the metal phase and the transformation mechanism from NiO phase to NiFe2O4 phase.展开更多

Physicochemical properties of primary and delithiated SC samples were investigated by X-ray diffractometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. Electrochemical performance was characterized by long-term cycling, cyclic voltammetry, and in-situ impedance spectroscopy. The results indicated that high temperature rendered layered oxides to lose lithium/oxygen in the interior and exterior, and induced cationic disordering. Besides, the solid-phase synthesis process promoted phase transformation for electrode materials, causing the coexisting multi-phase in a single particle. High temperature can foster the growth of single particles, but it caused unstable structure of layered phase.展开更多
