主 题:lithium ion cells LiFePO4 cathode electrode configuration three-layer electrode electrochemical performances
摘 要:As an improvement on the conventional two-layer electrode (active material layerlcurrent collector), a novel sandwich-like three-layer electrode (conductive layerlactive material layertcurrent collector) for cathode material LiFePO4/C was introduced in order to improve its electrochemical performance. LiFePO4/C in the three-layer electrode exhibited superior rate capability in comparison with that in the two-layer electrode in accordance with charge-discharge examination. Cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy indicated that Fe3+/Fe2+ redox couple for LiFePO4 in the three-layer electrode displayed faster kinetics, better reversibility and much lower charge transfer resistance than that in the two-layer electrode in electrochemical process. For three-layer electrode, the holes in the surface of active material layer were filled by smaller acetylene black grains, which formed electrical connections and provided more pathways to electron transport to/from LiFePO4/C particles exposed to the bulk electrolyte.
