A method of producing Liy[NixCo1−2xMnx]O2 wherein 0.025≦x≦0.5 and 0.9≦y≦1.3. The method includes mixing [NixCo1−2xMnx]OH2 with LiOH or Li2CO3 and one or both of alkali metal fluorides and boron compounds, preferably one or both of LiF and B2O3. The mixture is heated sufficiently to obtain a composition of Liy[NixCo1−2xMnx]O2 sufficiently dense for use in a lithium-ion battery cathode. Compositions so densified exhibit a minimum reversible volumetric energy characterized by the formula [1833−333x] measured in Wh / L.

Subfluorinated carbonaceous materials obtained through direct fluorination of graphite or coke particles are provided. One set of subfluorinated carbonaceous materials has an average chemical composition CFx in which 0.63<x≦0.95, 0.66<x≦0.95 or 0.7<x≦0.95. The subfluorinated carbonaceous materials are capable of electrochemical performance superior to commercial CF at relatively high rates of discharge.

The present application relates to a metal oxide and synthesis of a lithium ion battery. Specifically, the present application selects a cobalt oxide compound, which uses Co3O4 as a main body, as a precursor of lithium cobalt oxide, and anion doping is performed in particles of Co3O4 to obtain a doped precursor for lithium cobalt oxide. The general formula of the precursor can be expressed as Co3(O1-yMy)4, where about 0<y<about 0.2, and wherein the anion M comprises at least one of F, P, S, Cl, N, As, Se, Br, Te, I or At. The lithium ion battery with a cathode made of lithium cobalt oxide material prepared by using the precursor presents good cycle stability in a high voltage charge-discharge environment.

The invention discloses a Pt-Au@Pt core-shell structure fuel cell cathode catalyst and a preparation method thereof. The Pt-Au@Pt core-shell structure fuel cell cathode catalyst consists of a conductive carrier and Pt-Au@Pt core-shell structure nanoparticles. The preparation method comprises the following steps of: reducing a gold compound by using sodium borohydride to obtain Au nanoparticles, and loading the Au particles on the surface of a carbon carrier to obtain Au / C; and putting Au / C in a platinum compound water solution to obtain loaded-type Pt / Au alloy nanoparticles after Pt is subjected to spontaneous reductive deposition on the Au surface, depositing a Cu atom monolayer on the surface of the Pt-Au alloy nanoparticles by using an underpotential deposition method and then displacing the Cu atom monolayer with Pt to obtain the Pt-Au@Pt core-shell structure fuel cell cathode catalyst. The catalyst prepared by using the preparation method disclosed by the invention is high in catalytic activity and stability and low in cost relative to a pure Pt catalyst; and the preparation method is simple and convenient, mild in condition and easy to operate and can be used for solving the problem that a core-shell structure catalyst prepared by using a conventional chemical reduction method is high in Pt agglomeration degree on the surface and a catalyst prepared by using a single underpotential deposition method is low in Pt coverage degree on the surface.

A novel method to produce ALD films disposed on powders is disclosed. Examples include the formation of a cobalt doped zirconia (CDZ), hafnia, and cobalt doped hafnia (CDH) films on lanthanum strontium cobalt iron oxide (LSCF) powder for solid oxide fuel cell cathodes. The coated powders are sintered into porous cathodes that have utility for preventing the migration of cations in the powder to the surface of the sintered cathode and / or other performance enhancing attributes.
