Investigation on 3-dimensional carbon foams/LiFePO4 composites as function of the annealing time under inert atmosphere

Heterogeneous Nanostructured Electrode Materials for Lithium-Ion Batteries – Recent Trends and Developments

“…Therefore, annealing in N 2 could effectively reduce the surface defects as produced by ball-milling and improve the crystallinity, which may result in a higher discharge capacity and enhance the electrode stability through suppressing the internal impedance of the electrode from increasing. Similar phenomenon has also been observed in other cathodes (Dimesso et al, 2011). Therefore, the influence of particle size, loading content, mixing procedure of conductive carbons on the performance of battery cells needs further detailed investigations.…”

Chemical synthesis and electrochemical analysis of nickel cobaltite nanostructures for supercapacitor applications

“…In the case of high energy and high power density electrochemical capacitors, so called supercapacitors, three-dimensional and mesoporous structures are desirable for electrode materials because the porous structures offer large surface areas for electrode-electrolyte reactions and enable electrolytes easily to penetrate through the entire electrode matrix [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Hence, there has been a large amount of research interest in the preparation of metal or metal oxide nanostructures with controlled interior nanospaces for supercapacitor applications.…”

Preparation and characterization of carbon foams–LiCoPO4 composites

“…Recently, Dimesso et al [18,19] have reported the preparation of LiFePO 4 -carbon foams composites by using a Pechini assisted sol-gel process. The authors, by investigating the electrochemical performances of the composites as function of the annealing temperature and time, obtained a specific capacity of 80 mAh g −1 at a discharging rate of C/10 measured at room temperature after annealing at T = 600 • C for t = 5 h [19]. The annealing treatment is still an important and necessary step in the preparation of Li-ion phosphates.…”
