Abstract
In this work, a comprehensive investigation on the structure and electrochemical performance of LMFP@C electrodes with different current collectors was conducted using various testing methods such as SEM, peel-strength tests, contact-angle measurements, conductivity assessments, and electrochemical evaluations. The results revealed that the foam‑aluminum-based LMFP electrode (LMFP@C/ALF) exhibited stronger material adhesion and superior structural stability compared to the traditional aluminum-foil-based electrode (LMFP@C/AL). Its three-dimensional porous structure effectively mitigated electrode cracking during long-term cycling and increased the electrode-electrolyte contact area, thereby enhancing electrochemical performance. Moreover, the LMFP@C/ALF electrode outperformed others in electrochemical performance. At a current density of 1C, its initial discharge specific capacity reached 115.4 mAh g−1 and remained at 90 mAh g−1 after 1000 cycles. Even at a high current density of 5C, it maintained excellent high-rate performance with an initial discharge specific capacity of 94.2 mAh g−1 and a retained discharge specific capacity of 66.2 mAh g−1 after 1000 cycles. These findings highlight the significant advantages of the foam aluminum current collector in enhancing the performance of LMFP cathode materials.
本文采用SEM、剥离强度测试、接触角测量、电导率评估和电化学评估等多种测试方法,对具有不同集流器的LMFP@C电极的结构和电化学性能进行了全面研究。结果表明,与传统的铝箔电极(LMFP@C/AL)相比,泡沫铝基LMFP电极(LMFP@C/ALF)具有更强的材料粘附性和更好的结构稳定性。其三维多孔结构有效减轻了长期循环过程中电极的开裂,增加了电极与电解液的接触面积,从而提高了电化学性能。此外,LMFP@C/ALF电极的电化学性能优于其他电极。在1C电流密度下,其初始放电比容量达到115.4 mAh g - 1,循环1000次后保持在90 mAh g - 1。即使在5C的高电流密度下,它也保持了优异的高倍率性能,初始放电比容量为94.2 mAh g−1,1000次循环后保持放电比容量为66.2 mAh g−1。这些发现突出了泡沫铝集流器在提高LMFP阴极材料性能方面的显著优势。
