Influence of composition of cathodic deposition electrolyte on morphology and capacity properties of MnO2 film

Manganese oxide was obtained by cathodic electrochemical deposition from the electrolyte solutions adding sodium nitrate or sulfate. The structural characteristics and the elemental composition of the MnO2 samples were studied by energy dispersive microanalysis, IR spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The electrochemical characteristics of the electrodes were determined by cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge-discharge and impedance spectroscopy in 0.5M Na2SO4 solution.

Prospective Composite Materials for Lithium~Ion Battery Cathodes Based on~Transition Metals Oxide and Rare Earth Elements Oxides Modified with Fullerene and Fluoride Ions

The review of cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries is presented, the analysis of advantages and application prospects of cathode materials on the basis of lithiated transition metals oxides is carried out. A method of heterovalent modification by ions of highly negative elements, lanthanum and its analogues for improving the electrochemical indices and stability of lithium manganese spinel is proposed. The effectiveness of fullerene, lithium fluoride, fullerenes halogen derivatives as modifying additive for MnO2 cathode materials has been noticed.
