Fund Project:

For advanced performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) various novel electrode materials with high energy density have been extensively investigated. Cobaltosic oxide (Co₃O₄), commonly used as an anode in LIBs, has attracted much interest because of its high theoretical specific capacity (890 mAh·g^-1), high tap density, and stable chemical properties. However, its practical use has been hindered because of its low electronic conductivity and poor rate capability. To address these problems, we investigated a liquid phase precipitation method followed by thermal treatment and obtained a unique lamellar Co₃O₄ powder. Its X-ray diffraction (XRD) diffraction peaks match the standard pattern for cubic phase Co₃O₄ with od crystallinity. We found that the Co₃O₄ powder consists of many irregular sheets (1.5-3.0 μm in diameter, 100-300 nm in thickness) with numerous poles by scanning electronmicroscopy (SEM).Additionally, the surface area was about 30.5 m²·g^-1, and this was calculated from BET nitrogen adsorption isotherm measurement data. Remarkably, perfect performance was obtained as evaluated by electrochemical measurements, including a high initial discharge capacity (1444.5 mAh·g^-1 at 0.1C) and excellent capacity retention (charge capacity after 50 cycles was still greater than 1100.0 mAh·g^-1 at 0.1C). However, its rate capability was still not adequate (75.3% of the first charge capacity after 50 cycles at 1C). To improve the rate capability, commercial carbon nanotubes (CNTs) mixed with the Co₃O₄ powder was used to enhance the electronic conductivity. The charge capacity retention ratios were 96.3% after 70 cycles at 1C and 97.0% after 50 cycles at 2C. Therefore, enhanced electrochemical performance with impressive rate capability was obtained, as expected.
