Energetics of a Li Atom adsorbed on B/N doped graphene with monovacancy

Journal Article Rani, Babita ; Department of Physics, Punjabi University, Patiala 147002 ; Jindal, V. K. ; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

We use density functional theory (DFT) to study the adsorption properties and diffusion of Li atom across B/N-pyridinic graphene. Regardless of the dopant type, B atoms of B-pyridinic graphene lose electron density. On the other hand, N atoms (p-type dopants) have tendency to gain electron density in N-pyridinic graphene. Higher chemical reactivity and electronic conductivity of B/N-pyridinic graphene are responsible for stronger binding of Li with the substrates as compared to pristine graphene. The binding energy of Li with B/N-pyridinic graphene exceeds the cohesive energy of bulk Li, making it energetically unfavourable for Li to form clusters on these substrates.more »« less

The effect of boron substitution in carbon on the intercalation of lithium in Li[sub x](B[sub z]C[sub 1[minus]z])[sub 6]

Journal Article Way, B M ; Dahn, J R - Journal of the Electrochemical Society; (United States)

Boron-substituted carbons, B[sub z]C[sub 1[minus]z], have been produced by chemical vapor deposition from benzene and boron trichloride precursors at 900 C. The voltage and reversible capacity of Li/Li[sub x](B[sub z]C[sub 1[minus]z])[sub 6] cells were measured for the range of boron concentrations 0 < z < 0.17. These cells show an increase in voltage for a given lithium concentration compared to that in a cell with a pure carbon anode (i.e., petroleum coke, graphite, etc.). In addition, all cells for z > 0 showed greater reversible capacities than Li/coke cells, and for z > 0.10 the capacities exceeded that of graphite.more »« less

Evidence of covalent synergy in silicon–sulfur–graphene yielding highly efficient and long-life lithium-ion batteries

Journal Article Hassan, Fathy M. ; Batmaz, Rasim ; Li, Jingde ; ... - Nature Communications

Silicon has the potential to revolutionize the energy storage capacities of lithium-ion batteries to meet the ever increasing power demands of next generation technologies. To avoid the operational stability problems of silicon-based anodes, we propose synergistic physicochemical alteration of electrode structures during their design. This capitalizes on covalent interaction of Si nanoparticles with sulfur-doped graphene and with cyclized polyacrylonitrile to provide a robust nanoarchitecture. This hierarchical structure stabilized the solid electrolyte interphase leading to superior reversible capacity of over 1,000 mAh g ^-1 for 2,275 cycles at 2 A g ^-1. Furthermore, the nanoarchitectured design lowered the contact of themore »« less

Characteristics of boron doped mesophase pitch-based carbon fibers as anode materials for lithium secondary cells

Conference Tamaki, Toshio ; Kawamura, Toshifumi ; Yamazaki, Yoshinori

Mesophase pitch-based Carbon Fibers(MCF) have been investigated as anode materials for lithium secondary cells by examining their physical and electrochemical properties. Discharge capacity and initial charge-discharge efficiency of the materials were studied in relation to the heat treatment temperatures of MCF. MCF heat treated at about 3,000 C gave high discharge capacity over 310mAh/g, good efficiency (93%) and superior current capability of 600mA/g (6mA/cm2). On the other hand, to improve the battery capacity, Boron was doped to the fiber about several {degree} by adding B{sub 4}C to the pre-carbonized milled fibers and then heat-treated up to 3,000 C in Ar.more »« less
Improved lithium storage capacity and high rate capability of nitrogen-doped graphite-like electrode materials prepared from thermal pyrolysis of graphene quantum dots

Journal Article Gu, Siyong ; Christensen, Tommiejean ; Hsieh, Chien-Te ; ... - Electrochimica Acta

Adopting a solid-phase microwave-assisted technique followed by thermal pyrolysis of N-functionalized graphene quantum dots, novel nitrogen-doped graphite-like (NGL) electrode materials were synthesized in this work and served as the anode for Li-ion batteries. The NGL anode demonstrated reversible capacity of 530 mAh g ^-1 at 0.1C, superior rate capability at high C rate operation (420 mAh g ^-1 at 5C), remarkable initial coulombic efficiency (>95.7%), and excellent cyclic stability along with high efficiency (>99.1%) during entire cycling. The NGL anode nanostructure enables improved lithium ion mobility and reversible Li ⁺ storage during cycling. The analysis of the Ragone plots revealedmore »« less
