Assessing the Electrochemical Performance of Different Nanostructured CeO2 Samples as Anodes for Lithium-Ion Batteries

2021

In this work, six samples of CeO2 are successfully prepared by diverse synthesis routes leading to different microstructures regarding both morphology and particle size. The structural and microstructural characteristics presented by the samples and their influence on the electrochemical response of the prepared anodes are analyzed. In particular, the Ce-CMK3 sample, synthesized from a mesoporous carbon obtained through a CMK3 silica template, displays an enhanced electrochemical response. Thus, capacity values of ~220 mA h g−1 are obtained at a current rate of 0.155 A g−1 after 50 cycles and an excellent cyclability at intermediate current densities. On the other hand, it is observed that …

The synthesis of a hybrid graphene-nickel/manganese mixed oxide and its performance in lithium-ion batteries

2012

[EN] Mixing of aqueous suspensions of delaminated NiMn layered double hydroxide (LDH) and graphene oxide leads to the instantaneous precipitation of a hybrid material that after calcination under inert atmosphere at 450 degrees C leads to Ni6MnO8 nanoparticles deposited on larger reconstituted graphene sheets. This material exhibits electrical conductivity similar to graphite, superparamagnetism and can be used as an anode for Li-ion batteries. A maximum capacity value of 1030 mAh g(-1) was found during the first discharge, and capacity values higher than 400 mAh g(-1) were still achieved after 10 cycles. The methodology used here should allow the preparation of a large variety of hybrid gr…

NANOSTRUCTURED ANODE MATERIAL FOR Li-ION BATTERY OBTAINED BY GALVANIC PROCESS

2016

The accumulation of energy by batteries plays a fundamental role for the production of electrical energy and for its efficient management. Between different storage systems the lithium-ion battery are considered very interesting. Although they are now a well-established commercial reality, they are still subject of vigorous research efforts, in order to make improvements primarily in terms of costs, safety and energy density. The latter is in fact still low compared to that of fossil fuels, if you think to the automotive field. In particular efforts are focused towards the identification of valid alternatives to the electrode materials so as to overcome the limitations and extend the use of…

Description of Solid-to-Solid Redox Processes Based on the Voltammetry of Immobilized Particles Methodology: A Logistic Approximation

2022

A semiempirical model to describe the voltammetry of nontopotactic solid-to-solid redox processes occurring in the voltammetry of immobilized particles (VIMP) electrochemistry is described. It is applied to the reduction of solid metal compounds to the corresponding metal in contact with suitable electrolytes. The model is based on the assumption that the transferred charge is a logistic function of the applied potential, a situation that applies for reversible redox processes involving strongly adsorbed reactants. The model satisfactorily applies to reproduce linear potential scan curves recorded for graphite electrodes modified with different lead compounds (PbO, PbCl2·2H2O, lead-tin yell…
