ZnO / PANI nanocomposite was prepared via in situ polymerization. The structures of the modified ZnO particles were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and, scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The optical properties of (ZnO / PANI) nanocomposite were examined by photoluminescence (PL) analysis. XRD and, Raman analysis confirmed that pure ZnO (NPs) synthesized with (CTAB) in [EtOHMIM+] [HSO-] IL were formed. The addition of (CTAB) and [EtOHMIM+] [HSO-] IL does not change the ZnO phase but reduces the particle size of ZnO and converts shallow defects to deep defects. The SEM images of the ZnO / PANI nanocomposite showed the formation of hexagonal wurtzite ZnO (NPs) embedded in polyaniline matrix. The PL intensity of the ZnO / PANI nanocomposite is improved as compared to pure ZnO (NPs). This indicates that [EtOHMIM+] [HSO4-] IL may be acting as a dye, since it is constituted by an organic part, [EtOHMIM+]. This good performance indicates that the synthesised nanocompsite is promising material as photoanode in solar cells.","PeriodicalId":16447,"journal":{"name":"Journal of New Materials For Electrochemical Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42925838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, LiNi0.5Mn0.5O2 suffers from poor intrinsic rate capability due to its poor ionic conductivity (2.54 × 10-7 S/cm) and poor cycle stability owing to the volume change of the cathode materials during cycling. To address this issue, honeycomb-shaped LiNi0.5Mn0.5O2 was developed for lithium-ion batteries using a sol-gel method with spherical polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) particles. PMMA particles provide spherical voids in LiNi0.5Mn0.5O2 cathode materials due to their relatively low decomposition temperature (< 350 °C). Honeycomb-shaped LiNi0.5Mn0.5O2 has a higher surface area (2.63 m2/g) than the LiNi0.5Mn0.5O2 (2.00 m2/g) produced by conventional sol-gel method. The initial discharge capacities of conventional nano LiNi0.5Mn0.5O2 and honeycomb-shaped LiNi0.5Mn0.5O2 are 151.9 mAh g-1 and 200.4 mAh g-1, respectively at 0.1 C. After 50 cycles at 1 C, honeycomb-shaped LiNi0.5Mn0.5O2 has a larger capacity retention than conventional nano LiNi0.5Mn0.5O2, measuring 67.9% and 58.8%, respectively. The superior electrochemical performance of honeycomb-shaped LiNi0.5Mn0.5O2 increases the effective surface area for Li-ion diffusion, leading to better rate capability, and buffers the volume change during Li+ion insertion/extraction, improving the cycling stability.","PeriodicalId":16447,"journal":{"name":"Journal of New Materials For Electrochemical Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49348016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
