TiO_2对电熔合成镁铝尖晶石的影响

以轻烧氧化镁粉、工业氧化铝为原料合成电熔镁铝尖晶石材料,重点研究二氧化钛为添加剂对电熔合成镁铝尖晶石的物相组成,显微结构的影响,通过XRD,SEM分析试样的物相组成、晶胞参数和断口的微观形貌。研究发现:二氧化钛为外加剂可以增大镁铝尖晶石的晶胞参数、提高材料的体积密度进而改善材料的烧结性能,并且随着二氧化钛加入量的增加镁铝尖晶石的晶胞参数和晶胞体积呈现先增大后减小的变化规律。分析认为由于二氧化钛、钛酸镁固溶到镁铝尖晶石中促使镁铝尖晶石的晶胞参数和晶胞体积增大,而过量的钛酸镁位于晶界阻碍镁铝尖晶石的长大,导致镁铝尖晶石的晶胞参数和晶胞体积减小。在电熔法制备镁铝尖晶石时,二氧化钛的加入量不宜超过5wt%。

Enhanced electrochemical performance in lithium ion batteries of a hollow spherical lithium-rich cathode material synthesized by a molten salt method

A high voltage layered Li1.2Ni0.16Co0.08Mn0.56O2 cathode material with a hollow spherical structure has been synthesized by molten-salt method in a NaCI flux. Characterization by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy confirmed its structure and proved that the as-prepared powder is constituted of small, homogenously sized hollow spheres （1-1.5 μm）. The material exhibited enhanced rate capability and high first cycle efficiency due to the good dispersion of secondary particles. Galvanostatic cycling at different temperatures （20, 40, and 60 ℃） and a current rate of 2 C （500 mA.g-1） showed no significant capacity fade.
