Abstract
Conversion reactions have made LiF-metal oxide (MO) composites with attractive specific capacities compelling candidates for the next generation of lithium-ion battery cathode materials. However, it is necessary for the high charge voltage (> 4.5 V) to drive the redox reaction of MOs and break a strong ionic bond between Li+ and F− upon charge. It is a crucial way for decrease in the charge voltage to lower the activation energy barrier of the redox process between LiF and MOs. A novel conversion cathode LiF-V2O3 system is proposed in this study. Unlike most of the previously reported LiF-MOs systems, the LiF-V2O3 system can work at the lower charge cut off voltage of 4.3 V. It delivers a reversible specific capacity of 197 mAh g−1 at C/20 rate in the voltage range of 2–4.3 V. Cyclic voltammetry data suggest a dominant contribution of pseudocapacitance effect in the conversion reaction of the LiF-V2O3 sample.
期刊介绍:
Ionics is publishing original results in the fields of science and technology of ionic motion. This includes theoretical, experimental and practical work on electrolytes, electrode, ionic/electronic interfaces, ionic transport aspects of corrosion, galvanic cells, e.g. for thermodynamic and kinetic studies, batteries, fuel cells, sensors and electrochromics. Fast solid ionic conductors are presently providing new opportunities in view of several advantages, in addition to conventional liquid electrolytes.
