Abstract
Anatase phase TiO2 nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by annealing amorphous colloidal TiO2 spheres. The colloidal TiO2 nanoparticles exhibited enhanced specific discharge capacities ∼296 (0.1C), 185 (1C), 127 (2C), 101 (5C) and 82 mAh g-1 (10C) in contrast to their amorphous counterparts ∼182 (0.1C), 119 (1C), 81 (2 C), 43 (5 C) and 18 mAh g-1 (∼10C rates). Amorphous TiO2 nanoparticles developed a layer of solid electrolyte interface (SEI) comprising lithium carbonate, lithium alkyl carbonates, and organic phosphates, leading to heightened intrinsic resistance of cells and diminished performance in terms of rate and cycling. Conversely, annealing at high temperatures effectively eliminates chemisorbed water and hydroxyl groups, resulting in improved stability under varying rates and during cycling for lithium-ion batteries based on titanium dioxide. The annealed colloidal TiO2 demonstrated notably elevated specific discharge capacities and capacity retention of 93.5 % compared to amorphous titanium dioxide spheres of 42.1 %.
期刊介绍:
Materials Research Bulletin is an international journal reporting high-impact research on processing-structure-property relationships in functional materials and nanomaterials with interesting electronic, magnetic, optical, thermal, mechanical or catalytic properties. Papers purely on thermodynamics or theoretical calculations (e.g., density functional theory) do not fall within the scope of the journal unless they also demonstrate a clear link to physical properties. Topics covered include functional materials (e.g., dielectrics, pyroelectrics, piezoelectrics, ferroelectrics, relaxors, thermoelectrics, etc.); electrochemistry and solid-state ionics (e.g., photovoltaics, batteries, sensors, and fuel cells); nanomaterials, graphene, and nanocomposites; luminescence and photocatalysis; crystal-structure and defect-structure analysis; novel electronics; non-crystalline solids; flexible electronics; protein-material interactions; and polymeric ion-exchange membranes.
