Surface coating is essential for the cathode materials applied in all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) based on sulfide electrolytes because of instability cathode/sulfide interface. In contrast with those general lithium ion (LIBs) using a liquid electrolyte, ASSBs require different functional properties such as high ionic conductivity, low reactivity electrolytes, and electronic conductivity. addition to LiNbO3, which most popular material ASSBs, LiTaO3 another highly promising material, both...
Both particle monodispersity and mesopore orientation have been considered in this work. Monodisperse spherical silica particles with a solid core mesoporous shell featuring channels perpendicular to the surface were synthesized for first time by adopting as component employing Cn-TAB (n = 12, 14, 16, 18), structure-directing agent shell. Micelles on of are formed from electrostatic interaction between partially negatively charged positively surfactant molecules under basic conditions. The...
The poor electrochemical performance of all solid-state batteries (ASSBs) that use sulfide electrolytes can be attributed to undesirable side reactions at the cathode/sulfide-electrolyte interface; this issue addressed via surface coating. Ternary oxides such as LiNbO3 and Li2ZrO3 are generally used coating materials because their high chemical stabilities ionic conductivities. However, relative cost discourages in mass production. In study, Li3PO4 was introduced a material for ASSBs,...
Nanocrystalline Li[NixLi(1−2x)/3Mn(2−x)/3]O2 powders were prepared by a simple combustion method and investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), absorption spectroscopy (XAS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), particle size analysis (PSA), galvanostatic charge/discharge cycling. According to the XRD analysis, single-phase compounds with layered structure obtained for 0 ≤ x 0.25, while mixtures 0.30 0.50. Rietveld revealed that is basically rock-salt in which small amount of Ni occupies 3a...

Abstract We propose PEDOT:PSS as a multi-functional composite material for an enhanced Li-air-battery air electrode. The layer was coated on the surface of carbon (graphene) using simple method. A electrode containing PEDOT:PSS-coated graphene (PEDOT electrode) could be prepared without binder (such PVDF) because high adhesion PEDOT:PSS. PEDOT presented considerable discharge and charge capacity at all current densities. These results shows that acts redox reaction matrix conducting in...
Li-rich layered oxide has been known to possess high specific capacity beyond the theoretical value from both charge compensation in transition metal and oxygen redox reaction. Although it could achieve higher reversible due anion participating electrochemical reaction, however, its use energy storage systems limited. The reason is irreversible reaction that occurs during initial cycle, resulting structural instability evolution phase transition. To suppress we introduced surface-modified...
