The spinel-type Li4Ti5O12 cathode materials were synthesized by a self-combustion method. The effects of synthesis temperature on the structural and electrochemical properties of the Li4Ti5O12 were investigated. The prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM, TEM and electrochemical analysis. The results revealed that pure phase and well-crystallized Li4Ti5O12 with nano-sized could be synthesized at a calcination temperature of 750°C. The sample prepared under the condition had the highest initial discharge capacity of 164 mAh/g and shown good capacity rentention during 50 cycles between 1.0-2.5V at 0.1C.

Li0.96Na0.04Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2with CTAB as additive was synthesized. X-ray diffraction pattern reveals the product of the material with CTAB is pure phase. Scanning electron microscopy shows that the powders are average of 200 nm. Electrochemical test shows it in terms of high initial discharge capacity (175.6 mAhg-1) and exhibits good cycle performance with the capacity retention of 93.39 % after 90 cycles compared to the material has no additive (167.6 mAhg-1and 71.18 %) at 0.1 C rate. Therefore, CTAB as additive should improve the performance of Li0.96Na0.04Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2cathode material.

In this paper, LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 was prepared via a facile rheological phase reaction method. The effect of synthesis temperature and holding time on its electrochemical performance has been investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), cyclic voltammetry (CV) tests and galvanostatic charge–discharge tests. The results suggest that the synthesis temperature and holding time greatly affect the electrochemical performance of the LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 and the optimized synthesis condition for the synthesis of LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 via rheological phase reaction method is 900 °C for 8 h. The obtained sample possesses a highly ordered layered structure and low cation mixing. It delivers an initial discharge capacity of 198 mAh g-1 at 0.2 C and 140 mAh g-1 at 1.0 C between 2.5 and 4.6 V, respectively.

Spinel chromite nanoparticles are prospective candidates for a variety of applications from catalysis to depollution. In this work, we used a sol–gel auto-combustion method to synthesize spinel-type MgCr2O4 nanoparticles by using fructose (FS), tartaric acid (TA), and hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) as chelating/fuel agents. The optimal temperature treatment for the formation of impurity-free MgCr2O4 nanostructures was found to range from 500 to 750 °C. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used to determine the lattice vibrations of the corresponding chemical bonds from octahedral and tetrahedral positions, and the optical band gap was calculated from UV–VIS spectrophotometry. The stabilization of the spinel phase was proved by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. From field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), we found that the size of the constituent particles ranged from 10 to 40 nm. The catalytic activity of the as-prepared MgCr2O4 nanocrystals synthesized by using tartaric acid as a chelating/fuel agent was tested on the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. In particular, we found that the nature of the chelating/fuel agent as well as the energy released during the auto-combustion played an important role on the structural, optical, and catalytic properties of MgCr2O4 nanoparticles obtained by this synthetic route.

In the search for high-energy materials, novel 3D-fluorophosphates, Li2Co1− x Fe x PO4F and Li2Co1− x Mn x PO4F, have been synthesized. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy have been applied to analyze the structural and morphological features of the prepared materials. Both systems, Li2Co1− x Fe x PO4F and Li2Co1− x Mn x PO4F, exhibited narrow ranges of solid solutions: x ≤ 0.3 and x ≤ 0.1, respectively. The Li2Co0.9Mn0.1PO4F material demonstrated a reversible electrochemical performance with an initial discharge capacity of 75 mA·h·g−1 (current rate of C/5) upon cycling between 2.5 and 5.5 V in 1 M LiBF4/TMS electrolyte. Galvanostatic measurements along with cyclic voltammetry supported a single-phase de/intercalation mechanism in the Li2Co0.9Mn0.1PO4F material.

Spherical LiFePO4/C precursor powders were successfully prepared by spray pyrolysis. Various types of organic compounds such as glycolic acid, malic acid, citric acid, fructose and sucrose were used as carbon sources. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the olivine phase was obtained by calcining over 600 °C under an argon (95%)/hydrogen (5%) atmosphere.

The influences of re-sintering on the structure and electrochemical performance of LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 were researched in this paper. The synthesized materials were characterized and tested by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electrochemical measurements respectively. It was found that the re-sintered samples with better well-ordered layered structure, more perfect crystallization and more complete crystal structure will be formed with increasing temperature. Moreover, reasonable re-sintering time was required. The materials re-sintered at 860°C for 2h exhibited the best electrochemical performance, including high initial discharge capacity of 150.6 mAh•g-1 and coulomb efficiency of 84% at 0.2C rate.
