使用丝绸等纤维织物为模板结合溶胶凝胶法,利用管式炉控制气氛(惰性气体、氧气氛混合气体)合成了LiTi2(PO4)3(LTP,磷酸钛锂)/碳复合材料,可作为锂离子电池电极材料。利用X射线衍射(XRD),红外光谱(FT-IR),扫描电子显微镜( SEM)和透射电子显微镜( TEM)对所得材料的成分、物相、微观结构进行了表征。结果表明,所得材料具有和所用的纤维模板相同的形貌特征,其中主体部分单根纤维直径为微米级别。将所得材料作为锂离子电池的正极材料,以金属锂为负极,制成半电池,以循环伏安、充放电等方法测试其电化学性能,结果表明,所得材料的首次充放电容量达到109 mAh/g,在0.1C倍率下充放电100次后容量保持率为63.3%。
Using the template of silk cloth and other commercial fabrics combined with sol-gel method, LiTi2 ( PO4 ) 3 ( LTP, lithium titanium phosphate) / carbon composite material was synthesized by controlling the atmosphere in the tube furnace ( adjusting the ratio of inert gas to oxygen gas) . The prepared material could be directly used as lithium-ion battery electrode materials without using binder or conductive agents. The composition, phase, microstructure of the resulting material were characterized by X-ray diffraction ( XRD) , infrared spectroscopy ( IR) , scanning electron microscopy ( SEM) and transmission electron microscopy ( TEM) methods. The results show that the resulting material presents the same morphology with the silk fiber used, and the single fiber in the main body portion is at micron scale. Using the obtained material as the cathode material and lithium metal foil as the anode material, the coin cell was prepared. The cyclic voltammetry and charge-discharge curves of the as-prepared cells show that the prepared LTP/carbon composite exhibits an initial discharge capacity of 109 mAh/g at 0.1C, and after 100 cycles, still 63.3% of the initial capacity is retained.
