Journal of Electrochemistry

The transition metal borides VB_2 and TiB_2 were tested as high capacity anode materials and their electrochemical behaviors were studied by cyclic voltammetry and discharge measurements.

The Mechanism Of The Improvement On Cycling Performance And Thermal Stability Of Lini_(0.8)Co_(0.2)O_2 By Ti-Doping, Han-San Liu, Jie Li, Zheng-Liang Gong, Zhong-Ru Zhang, Yong Yang

Journal of Electrochemistry

Improved cycling performance and enhanced thermal stability were observed for Ti-doped LiNi_(0.8)Co_(0.2)O_2 cathode materials. The mechanism of these positive effects was investigated in this work. The improved cycling performance of Ti-doped cathodes is ascribed to the suppression of phase transitions and lattice changes during cycling, and the decrease of interfacial reaction activity between the cathode and electrolyte. The enhanced thermal stability of Ti-doped cathodes is attributed to the suppression of thermal decomposition reaction of delithiated cathode material, which will produce heat and oxygen gas as the cause of electrolyte decomposition and combustion reaction.
