A nanocarbon composite as a conducting agent to improve the electrochemical performance of a LiCoO2 cathode

Role of mesopores on the electrochemical performance of LiCoO2 composite cathodes for lithium ion batteries

“…Thorat thought the combination of CF and CB provided a highly conductive network that connected well to the active material particles and the current collector [18]. Similar works were also done by Zhang, using BCA containing CNT and AB [19].…”

Enhanced electrochemical performances of multi-walled carbon nanotubes modified Li3V2(PO4)3/C cathode material for lithium-ion batteries

“…The batteries with CNT additives in the electrodes presented higher total capacity and better high-rate discharge performance [22,23]. Recently, MWCNTs have introduced as a conductive carbon additive in the preparation of LiFePO 4 /MWCNTs composites [24,25] and LiCoO 2 /MWCNTs [26]. Li et al [24] applied MWCNTs as the conducting additive in LiFePO 4 and they found that MWCNTs addition was an effective way to increase rate capability and cycle efficiency.…”

Advances in Lithium-Ion Battery Technology Based on Functionalized Carbon Nanotubes for Electrochemical Energy Storage

“…The electrochemical performance of composite cathode dispersed with mixture of MWNTs and acetylene black (AB) was investigated and observed to be better than the cathode loaded with individual additives. In the composite, MWNTs form a valid conducting network and AB has a large contact surface area with LiCoO 2 particles [45]. Thin MWNTs (t-MWNTs) and hollow MWNTs (h-MWNTs) were coated in 0.5 wt% on the surface of LiCoO 2 using electrostatic heterocoagulation.…”
