One-step argon/nitrogen binary plasma jet irradiation of Li4Ti5O12 for stable high-rate lithium ion battery anodes

Rapid Atmospheric-Pressure-Plasma-Jet Processed Porous Materials for Energy Harvesting and Storage Devices

“…APPJs were also applied to directly deposit Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) anode materials for lithium-ion batteries using a precursor salt solution containing Ti and Li ions [8]. Ar/N2 APPJs were used for post-treatment on LTO anodes of lithium-ion batteries for stable, high-rate performance [9]. Owing to the strong interaction between N2 APPJs and carbon-based materials, 1-min N2 APPJ treatment on graphite felt electrodes can significantly improve the energy efficiency of an all-vanadium redox flow battery.…”

Synthesis and characterization of Li2Zn0.6Cu0.4Ti3O8 anode material via a sol-gel method

“…Nevertheless, the carbon materials intercalate Li at a low potential close to that of the Li-plating, which results in a safety risk due to high surface Li-plating (Li dendrite, a potential cause of short circuits). In order to solve this crucial safety concern, Ti-based materials have been intensively investigated as an alternative anode materials for LIBs due to their high safety and excellent cycling stability [4][5][6][7][8]. However, Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 has some inherent disadvantages such as low theoretical capacity (175 mAh g À1 ), poor electronic conductivity (10 À13 s cm À3 ) and high intercalation potential (1.5 V vs. Li/Li + ), which prevent it from being widely employed [4][5].…”

Atmospheric-pressure-plasma-jet processed nanoporous TiO2photoanodes and Pt counter-electrodes for dye-sensitized solar cells

“…APPJs were successfully used to directly synthesize Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 (LTO) anodes of lithium ion batteries from precursor solutions [29]. Another study uses post APPJ treatments on LTO anodes to improve the performance of lithium ion batteries [30]. Cyclonic APPs have been applied to improve hydrophilicity and to implant functional groups of the microporous polymer separator of a lithium-ion battery [31].…”
