Electrochemical Properties of NbO as a Negative Electrode Material for Lithium Secondary Batteries

Article Preview

Abstract:

The electrochemical properties of niobium monoxide, NbO, were investigated as a negative electrode material for lithium-ion batteries. Lithium ions were inserted into and extracted from NbO material at potentials < 1.0 V versus Li/Li+, involving formation of a solid electrolyte interface (SEI) on the NbO surface in the first cycle. Its reversible capacity is ~67 mAh g1 with the capacity retention of ~109% after 50 cycles. The magnitude of charge transfer resistance was greatly decreased by ball-milling the pristine NbO, whereas the ball-milling had no effect on the SEI resistance.
