Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry 17 (6) : 1765-1773. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10008-012-1791-7 | Abstract: | The mixed oxide compounds, (M1/2Sb1/2Sn)O 4, M = In and Fe are prepared by the high-temperature solid-state reaction, at 800 C for M = In and at 1,150 C for M = Fe. High-energy ballmilling is used to reduce the particle size to nm-range. The compounds are characterized by X-ray diffraction, Rietveld refinement, scanning electron microscopy, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area methods. The Li-storage and cycling properties of the bare and ballmilled compounds are evaluated by galvanostatic cycling at ~0.15 C and in the voltage ranges 0.005-1.0 and 0.005-1.2 V vs. Li up to 50 (or 100) cycles and by cyclic voltammetry (CV) at room temperature. Effect of electrode heat treatment and carbon nanotube (CNT) addition is also studied. Initial reversible capacities in the range 425-550 mAh g-1 are observed depending on the metal (M) upper cut-off voltage, CNT content and electrode heat treatment. Ballmilled (In1/2Sb 1/2Sn)O4 showed a stable capacity of 445 mAh g -1 up to 30 cycles and 5 % capacity fading after 50 cycles. In all other cases, capacity fading is observed ranging from 9 to 60 %. The CV showed that the main cathodic and anodic peaks occur at 0.15-0.25 V and ~0.5 V vs. Li, respectively, for both M. The reaction mechanism involves alloying-de-alloying reactions of Sn and In with Li3Sb or Fe acting as conducting matrix, and corroborated by the ex-situ X-ray diffraction data on (In 1/2Sb1/2Sn)O4. © 2012 Springer-Verlag. | Source Title: | Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/97070 | ISSN: | 14328488 | DOI: | 10.1007/s10008-012-1791-7 |
