Abstract
In this work, rutile-phase Ti0.95Nb0.95O4/C (TNO/C) composites with different carbon contents were obtained through solvothermal method and subsequent calcination. The effect of carbon component on the microstructure and electrochemical performances of TNO/C composites were investigated. The results indicate more oxygen vacancies, and higher contents of Nb4+ and Ti3+ can be obtained under higher carbon content, leading to enhanced conductivity. Besides serving as conductive agent, carbon component in TNO/C composites also acts as an active component for Li+ storage, and pseudocapacitance provided by carbon component increases with the increasing of its relative content. Therefore, TNO/C-27.0 composites with the highest carbon content in the as-prepared composites deliver the highest reversible capacities at different current densities and excellent cycling capability of 488 mAh·g−1 at 0.3 A·g−1 after 300 cycles and 331 mAh·g−1 at 1.0 A·g−1 after 500 cycles.
期刊介绍:
Ionics is publishing original results in the fields of science and technology of ionic motion. This includes theoretical, experimental and practical work on electrolytes, electrode, ionic/electronic interfaces, ionic transport aspects of corrosion, galvanic cells, e.g. for thermodynamic and kinetic studies, batteries, fuel cells, sensors and electrochromics. Fast solid ionic conductors are presently providing new opportunities in view of several advantages, in addition to conventional liquid electrolytes.
