Abstract:

The perovskite-type LaCoO3 electrode materials with the morphology of bulk, spherical nanoparticles(NPs) and three-dimensional porous framework(3DPF) were prepared to investigate the relations between the morphology and electrochemical lithium storage properties. It is demonstrated that the electrode materials with different morphologies all show the same perovskite structure, but there is a huge difference in specific capacities. At a current density of 500 mA/g, the specific capacities of the bulk, nano-particles, and three-dimensionally porous framework LaCoO3 electrodes finally stabilized at 157, 579 and 648 mA·h/g, respectively. The improved specific capacity and cycling stability of porous framework LaCoO3 are mainly attributed to the larger contact area between the active material and the electrolyte, the smaller particles, the more active sites, and the lower transfer resistance and better retention.
