Abstract
The conductivity problem of FeF3·0.33H2O is the main constraint on development and application of this next-generation cathode material for lithium/sodium ion batteries. It has been found in our previous theoretical calculation that Ti-doping can dramatically improve the conductivity FeF3·0.33H2O, and thus improving its electrochemical performance. Herein, Ti-doped Fe1−xTixF3·0.33H2O (x = 0, 0.06, 0.08, 0.10) compounds have been successfully synthesized via a liquid-phase method. Subsequently, a ball milling process with acetylene black (AB) has been used to form Fe1−xTixF3·0.33H2O/C (x = 0, 0.06, 0.08, 0.10) nanocomposite. The chemical composition and elemental distribution of the Ti-doped FeF3·0.33H2O samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXs). The results show that Ti can effectively dope into the samples, and replace partially Fe3+ions in the FeF3·0.33H2O crystal. Especially the Fe0.92Ti0.08F3·0.33H2O/C nanocomposite achieves an initial capacity of 460.15 mAh g−1and retains a discharge capacity of 294.86 mAh g−1after 40 cycles in the voltage range of 1.5–4.5 V. Besides, the as-prepared material shows excellent rate capability, it can deliver a discharge capacity of 146.06 mAh g−1even at 2 C.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
