Abstract:

Spherical LiTi2(PO4)3/C composites were prepared through spray drying method followed by high-temperature calcination and used as anodes for aqueous lithium ion batteries. The effect of different organic carbon source based on different coating mechanisms and carbon content on the electrochemical properties of LiTi2(PO4)3/C composite anodes were investigated. Results show that if the amount of carbon coating is too low, it cannot prevent water from eroding. In contrast, if the amount of carbon coating is too high, the resis-tance of lithium ion diffusion will be high. So the optimal carbon coating amount of LiTi2(PO4)3/C electrodes is 13%. The uniformity of carbon coating and the thickness of coating layer are the two main factors affecting the performance of coated electrodes. The polydopamine-coated lithium titanium phosphate particles based on the in-situ polymerization coating mechanism are the most uniform, and the microcrystalline structure and electronic conductivity after carbonization is better. The best performance is achieved by LiTi2(PO4)3/C anodes prepared by using polydopamine as the carbon source.
