Electrochemical properties of NiO/Co–P nanocomposite as anode materials for lithium ion batteries

Preparation and characterization of basic carbonates as novel anode materials for lithium-ion batteries

“…(11). The extra capacity can be attributed to the formation of SEI film during the first discharge process and the probable lithium storage on interface [27][28][29][30]. The cyclic performance curve of CuCO 3 Á Cu(OH) 2 exhibits a decrease in the discharge capacity from 1356.2 to 14.6 mAh g À 1 after 20 cycles, indicating a poor cyclic performance.…”

“…Being similar to (PbCO 3 ) 2 Á Pb(OH) 2 and CuCO 3 Á Cu(OH) 2 , NiCO 3 Á 2Ni(OH) 2 Á 4H 2 O delivers a discharge capacity of 1742.6 mAh g À 1 in the first cycle, which is much higher than the theoretical value (427.7 mAh g À 1 ). The extra capacity should correspond to the growth of SEI film on the surface of the active particles and the probable lithium storage on interface in the initial discharge process [29,30]. After 20 cycles, the discharge and charge capacities are maintained at 104.3 and 98.1 mAh g À 1 , respectively.…”

A novel solution combustion synthesis of cobalt oxide nanoparticles as negative-electrode materials for lithium ion batteries

“…Contrary to the mechanism of the classical Li insertion/deinsertion and Li-alloying process, transition-metal oxides react with Li through a convention reaction [3]. Negative-electrodes of LIBs made by these materials demonstrated high theoretic reversible specific capacity and excellent cycling performances [4][5][6]. Among them, cobalt oxides (Co 3 O 4 and CoO) have received considerable attention because of their high theoretic specific capacity (890 mAh/g for Co 3 O 4 , 715 mAh/g for CoO) [3,4].…”

Nanostructured hybrid cobalt oxide/copper electrodes of lithium-ion batteries with reversible high-rate capabilities

“…Hybridizing nanostructured cobalt oxides with conducting matrices to form complex structures has been realized to be an effective route to overcome the above-mentioned problems [13][14][15][16][17]. More recently, Taberna et al [18] demonstrated a two-step designed electrode consisting of Cu nanorods grown on a current collector followed by electrodeposition of Fe 3 O 4 as an active material.…”
