Abstract
Macroporous lithium manganese iron phosphate/carbon (LiFe0.9Mn0.1PO4/C) has been successfully synthesized via a sol-gel process accompanied by phase separation. Poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) acts as a phase separation inducer, while polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) synergistically regulates the morphology of the gel skeleton and serves as a reducing agent. Propylene oxide (PO) works as a proton scavenger to initiate the homogeneous gelation and modify the macrostructure. An appropriate amount of PEO, PVP and PO led to the formation of xerogel monoliths characterized by a three-dimensional co-continuous skeleton and interconnected macropores. The amorphous xerogel upon heat treatment at 400 °C for 2 h under a N2 atmosphere, formed carbon-coated LiFe0.9Mn0.1PO4/C crystals with excellent crystallinity and uniform elemental distribution. The resultant macroporous LFMP/C has a discharge capacity of 113.43 mA h g− 1 at 0.1 C, with a first coulombic efficiency of 90.1% and excellent capacity recovery rate after high-rate tests.
通过伴随相分离的溶胶-凝胶工艺,成功合成了大孔磷酸锰铁锂/碳(LiFe0.9Mn0.1PO4/C)。聚环氧乙烷(PEO)作为相分离诱导剂,而聚乙烯吡咯烷酮(PVP)则协同调节凝胶骨架的形态并作为还原剂。环氧丙烷(PO)作为质子清除剂,可启动均匀凝胶化并改变宏观结构。适量的 PEO、PVP 和 PO 可形成以三维共连续骨架和相互连接的大孔为特征的气凝胶单体。无定形的 xerogel 在氮气环境下于 400 °C 热处理 2 小时后,形成了碳包覆的 LiFe0.9Mn0.1PO4/C 晶体,具有极佳的结晶性和均匀的元素分布。由此产生的大孔 LFMP/C 在 0.1 C 下的放电容量为 113.43 mA h g- 1,首次库仑效率为 90.1%,并且在高速率测试后具有极佳的容量恢复率。
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Porous Materials is an interdisciplinary and international periodical devoted to all types of porous materials. Its aim is the rapid publication
of high quality, peer-reviewed papers focused on the synthesis, processing, characterization and property evaluation of all porous materials. The objective is to
establish a unique journal that will serve as a principal means of communication for the growing interdisciplinary field of porous materials.
Porous materials include microporous materials with 50 nm pores.
Examples of microporous materials are natural and synthetic molecular sieves, cationic and anionic clays, pillared clays, tobermorites, pillared Zr and Ti
phosphates, spherosilicates, carbons, porous polymers, xerogels, etc. Mesoporous materials include synthetic molecular sieves, xerogels, aerogels, glasses, glass
ceramics, porous polymers, etc.; while macroporous materials include ceramics, glass ceramics, porous polymers, aerogels, cement, etc. The porous materials
can be crystalline, semicrystalline or noncrystalline, or combinations thereof. They can also be either organic, inorganic, or their composites. The overall
objective of the journal is the establishment of one main forum covering the basic and applied aspects of all porous materials.
