Superior electrochemical performance of LiCoO2 electrodes enabled by conductive Al2O3-doped ZnO coating via magnetron sputtering

Solid state synthesis of ultrafine-LiCoO2 by enhanced thermal decomposition of carbonate precursors followed by double-calcining

“…The comparative study on the rate-performance between the resulting materials and the HT-LiCoO 2 synthesized through novel liquid phase routes [25,26] or treated by surface modification [27][28][29][30] in recent years is conducted. The resulting material shows a competitive property at the initial charge and discharge capacities.…”

Sputtering TiO2 on LiCoO2 composite electrodes as a simple and effective coating to enhance high-voltage cathode performance

“…Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is one example which is successful to bring remarkable improvement for many electrode materials [24][25][26][27][28][29]. Besides, magnetron sputtering (MS) is another newly developed coating method gaining increasing attention [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40]. As we know, MS has been widely used in diverse fields for fabrication of thin film materials [41,42].…”

Suppression of degradation for lithium iron phosphate cylindrical batteries by nano silicon surface modification

“…11 Many semiconductor materials, especially including Si acted as an intermediate isolated layer were employed in the eld of surface engineering, which can efficiently suppress transition cations from being dissolved from the active material causing by the attacking of HF in the electrolyte. 13,14 As a typical example, compared to pristine LiFePO 4 electrodes, the electrodes decorated with nano-sized Si can display less coarsening degree, higher rate capability and better cycling performance, especially at elevated temperature. 15 Guo et al 9 have exhibited that the LiFePO 4 /graphite so-packed cell has noticeable capacity loss at high temperature even though several electrolyte additives have been added to greatly hold down Fe dissolution.…”
