Полимерные комплексы никеля с лигандами саленового типа как многофункциональные компоненты катодов литий-ионных аккумуляторов
This work describes the method of preparation of composite lithium-ion battery cathodes that allows total replacement of conventional polymer binders and electroconductive carbon black additives with redox-active conductive polymeric nickel complexes of salen-type Schiff base ligands in the electrode layer. The structure and electrochemical behavior of the electrodes prepared by this method have been investigated. Polymeric metal complexes have been shown to successfully perform the functions of binding and conductive components and also reversibly store charge in the lithium iron phosphate cathodes, which could result in the improvement of the specific capacity of the cathode layer, as compared with the conventional electrodes.
