Abstract
Organic electrode materials have high capacity, and environmentally friendly advantages for the next generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, organic electrode materials face many challenges, such as low reduction potential as cathode materials or high reduction potential as anode materials. Here, the influence of chemical functionalities that are capable of either electron donating or electron withdrawing groups on the reduction potential and charge-discharge performance of anthraquinone (AQ) based system is studied. The cyclic voltammetry results show that the introduction of two —OH groups, two —NO2 groups and one—CH3 group on anthraquinone structure has a little impact on the reduction potential, which is found to be 2.1 V. But when three or four—OH groups are introduced on AQ structure, the reduction potential is increased to about 3.1 V. The charge-discharge tests show that these materials exhibit moderate cycling stability.
摘要
有机电极材料作为下一代锂离子电池材料具有容量高,环境友好型等优势。然而,有机电极材 料面临着许多挑战,如作为正极材料的放电平台低,而作为负极材料的放电平台高。本文研究了具有 供电子和吸电子效应的化学官能团对蒽醌(AQ)体系的还原电位和充放电性能的影响。循环伏安法结果 表明,在蒽醌结构上引入两个—OH 基团、两个—NO2 基团和一个—CH3 基团对蒽醌结构的还原电位 影响较小,还原电位为2.1 V。但在AQ 结构上引入3 ~ 4 个—OH 基团时,还原电位增加到~3.1 V。 充放电测试表明这些材料具有适中的循环稳定性。
