xLi2MnO3·(1-x)Li(Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3)O2 (x=0.25, 0.40, 0.55) compounds were prepared by low-heating solid state reaction. In the voltage range of 2.70-4.35 V, the discharge capacity of the electrode decreased with the increase of x, with a better cyclability. However, when cycled between 2.7 and 4.6 V, the cathodes delivered much larger capacities and their capacities increased with the introduction of Li2MnO3. Moreover, it was found that the discharge capacity gradually increased with the cycle number. The reason for this phenomenon was discussed. It was found that the relatively low cut-off potential made the activation of the Li2MnO3 component in the compound a gradual process, which caused the increasing capacity.
Conductivities of lithium bis(oxalato)borate (LiBOB)-ethyl carbonate (EC)/diethyl carbonaten (DEC) electrolytes at 25℃ and 50℃ were studied. The electrolyte component with the highest conductivity at each temperature was obtained through changing the concentration of LiBOB and the ratio of EC/DEC. The mass triangle model was applied to calculate the conductivity of Li- BOB-EC/DEC ternary system at 25℃ and 50℃. The results show that the calculated and experimental results have reached a good agreement. Therefore, it is expected that the experimental work can be vastly reduced by introducing the mass triangle model.
