Effect of Al(OH)₃ in Enhancing PbSnF₄ Anode Performances for Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery

Abstract:

Two-phase Al(OH)₃–PbSnF₄ composites (concentrations of aluminum hydroxide are equal to 5 wt.%, 15 wt.% and 30 wt.%) has been prepared by high-energy ball-milling method. The materials were employed as anodes in Li-ion batteries. It was established that PbSnF₄-based systems yield high initial capacity of 800–1100 mAh g^–1. The reversible specific capacity of Al(OH)₃–PbSnF₄ (aluminum hydroxide – 15 wt.%) after 10-fold charge–discharge cycling in the range of 2.5–0.005 V attains 120 mAh g^–1, while the specific capacity of pure PbSnF₄ is equal only to 20 mAh g^–1. It has been shown that the deviation from 15 wt.% concentration of Al (OH)₃ decreases cycling stability of lead fluorostannate (II).
