Abstract:
Cathode material particles with nano-metal oxide layers on the surface, each cathode material particle includes a cathode material core and a nano-metal oxide layer surrounding the cathode material core. The thickness of the nano-metal oxide layer is of 10 nm to 100 nm. The cathode material has excellent safety, high-capacity, good cycleability and high-rate charging or discharging capability. A method for manufacturing the cathode material particles comprises soaking the cathode material cores in a surface improving agent containing metal salt, drying the surface improving agent to deposit the metal salt on the cores and sintering the cores with lithium hydroxide to form the nano-metal oxide layer on the surface around the core. Thereby, the cathode material particles are formed.
Abstract:
Methods of fabricating one-dimensional composite nanofiber on a template membrane with porous array by chemical or physical process are disclosed. The whole procedures are established under a base concept of “secondary template”. First of all, tubular first nanofibers are grown up in the pores of the template membrane. Next, by using the hollow first nanofibers as the secondary templates, second nanofibers are produced therein. Finally, the template membrane is removed to obtain composite nanofibers. Showing superior performance in weight energy density, current discharge efficiency and irreversible capacity, the composite nanofibers are applied to extensive scopes like thin-film battery, hydrogen storage, molecular sieving, biosensor and catalyst support in addition to applications in lithium batteries.
Abstract:
A uniform composite nanofiber includes a tubular first nanofiber, and a second nanofiber formed inside or outside the first nanofiber. The first nanofiber is first formed within a plurality of nano-scale pores of a template placed on a current collector, and then the second nanofiber is formed on inner or outer surface of the first nanofiber, and the template is removed afterwards for obtaining the composite nanofiber.
