摘要: The chlorination of rare earth oxides by MgCl2 was investigated in the molten chlorides. To reduce the solvent salt volatility, the LiCl-NaCl mixture was selected as a solvent by comparing the mass loss of the LiCl-NaCl with LiCl-KCl melts after the addition of MgCl2 in the temperature range of 873 K to 1073 K. The dissolution behavior of La2O3 was investigated in the LiCl-NaCl-MgCl2 melts by XRD measurements and ICP-AES analysis of the melts, which indicated that La2O3 was chlorinated by MgCl2 to produce LaCl3. The reduction peak of La(III) in the LiCl-NaCl-MgCl2-La2O3 melts was observed from cyclic voltammogram and square wave voltammogram. The Mg-La alloy obtained by galvanostatic electrolysis in the LiCl-NaCl-MgCl2-La2O3 melts was characterized by XRD and SEM-EDS, indicating that the Mg-La alloy consisted of Mg and La2Mg17 phases.

摘要: The reduction of Tm(III) on a liquid Zn electrode was investigated in a LiCl-KCl melt via cyclic voltammetry, square wave voltammetry, and open circuit chronopotentiometry. On a liquid Zn electrode, the reduction mechanism of Tm(III) ions is through one step with the exchange of three electrons via the formation of a Zn-Tm alloy. This differs from that on an inert electrode, as the reduction is Tm(III) ions were though two consecutive steps. Galvanostatic electrolysis was carried out at a liquid Zn electrode at different current densities in a LiCl-KCl-TmCl3 melt. The Tm2Zn17 intermetallic compound was identified in the deposit, except in the Zn phase, by X-ray Diffraction (XRD).

摘要: A composite with ultrafine SiOx (x 1⁄4 1.57, around 2 nm) nanoparticles confined in a carbon framework is synthesized by a simple thermopolymerization process and subsequent heat treatment. In the composite, the carbon framework can provide a consecutive network to improve the electrical conductivity of the composite and cushion the volume expansion to prevent the active material peeling from the current collector. The ultrafine SiOx nanoparticles can alleviate mechanical strain and shorten the diffusion/transport distance of lithium ions and electrons. In consequence, the as-synthesized composite delivers a high reversible capacity of 540 mA h g 1 at a current density of 500 mA g 1 after 200 cycles. The composite delivers good electrochemical performance, making it a promising candidate for the next-generation high-energy LIBs.

摘要: In this work, we synthesize a sandwich-structured graphite-metallic silicon@C (MS-G@C) composite, which shows good electrochemical performance compared to metallic silicon or graphite-metallic silicon. The improved electrochemical performance may be ascribed to the sandwich structure of the composite with the carbon coating on metallic Si and to the metallic Si particles with high electronic conductivity according to the results of four probe tester measurement and a density functional theory study. When evaluated as an anode material for LIBs, the low cost MS-G@C anodes Exhibit 830 mA h g 1 at 0.5 C, 650 mA h g 1 at 1 C, and 251.2 mA h g 1 at 5 C, respectively, and after 100 cycles with an average capacity loss of only 0.02% per cycle at 0.5 C. The synthetic method presented in this paper is provided a facile and low-cost strategy for the large-scale production of silicon-based material as an anode in LIBs.
