    Characterization of anodes for lithium ion batteries
    (Springer, 2015-08-14) Humana, Rita; Ortiz, Mariela; Thomas, Jorge; Real, Silvia; Sedlarikova, Marie; Vondrak, Jiri; Visintin, Arnaldo
    The lithium-ion batteries are energy storage systems of high performance and low cost. They are employed in multiple portable devices, and these require the use of increasingly smaller and lighter batteries with high energy and power density, fast charging, and long service life. Moreover, these systems are promising for use in electric or hybrid vehicles. However, the lithium-ion battery still requires the improvement of the electrode material properties, such as cost, energy density, cycle life, safety, and environmental compatibility. These batteries use carbon as anode material, usually synthetic graphite, because of its high coulombic efficiency and acceptable specific capacity for the formation of intercalation compounds (LiC6). In this paper, the methodology used to prepare and characterize the reversible and irreversible capacity and cyclic stability of graphite materials as anodes in lithium-ion batteries of commercial carbon and shungite carbon is presented. The results obtained using electrochemical techniques are discussed. These electrodes exhibited good activation process and high-rate dischargeability performance. For carbon and shungite electrodes, the maximum discharge capacity values were 259 and 170 mA h g−1, respectively.

    Preparation and characterization of electrode materials in lithium batteries
    (Electrochemistry from Sensing to Energy Conversion and Storage, 2015) Ortiz, Mariela; Real, Silvia; Visintin, Arnaldo
    The lithium batteries are electrochemical systems based on the use of intercalation compounds supported on porous structures. Different materials are used as cathodes: for example, mixed oxides of transition metals (LiMO2, where M: Mn, Co and / or Ni), and carbons materials (commercial carbon and Sungite carbon) are used as anodes. The preparation of anodes and cathodes materials are presented. Optical techniques (as DRX, SEM and TEM) are used to characterize the prepared material. The electrochemical performance are studied by electrochemical techniques: charge-discharge cycles, galvanostatic discharge at different currents and cyclic voltammetry.

    Preparation and characterization of graphite anode for lithium ion batteries
    (Advanced Batteries, Accumulators and Fuel Cells, 2014-08-24) Humana, Rita; Ortiz, Mariela; Thomas, Jorge; Real, Silvia; Visintin, Arnaldo
    The lithium-ion batteries are energy storage systems of high performance and low cost for use in multiple portable devices. These require the use of increasingly smaller and lighter batteries with high energy and power density, fast charging and long service life. Moreover, these systems are promising for use in electric or hybrid vehicles. However, the successful use of the lithium in the field, requires improvements in relation to the properties of electrode materials, such as cost, energy density, cycle life, safety, and environmental compatibility. Currently, investigations are looking to improve the cell configuration by careful selection of the materials and components electrolytic. These batteries use carbon as anode material, usually synthetic graphite, because of its high coulombic efficiency and acceptable specific capacity for the formation of intercalation compounds (LiC6). Their low voltage increases the potential difference between the electrodes and therefore the energy density of the battery. In this paper, we present the methodology used to prepare and characterize the reversible and irreversible capacity and cyclic stability of graphite materials as anodes in lithium-ion batteries of commercial carbon (CR 1296) and Sungite carbon. We discuss the results obtained using electrochemical techniques for charging and discharging at different current densities, cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).
