Does lithium gallium oxide lithiation improve electrochemical conductivity?

It is interesting that the lithiation strategy (in situ lithiation) with the formation of lithium gallium oxide (LiGaO 2) can enhance the electronic conductivity and supply additional lithium ions in the whole electrochemical reaction, compared with the reported high-performance LIB anode materials (e.g., Si, Li metal) .

Can Ligao 2 be used for lithium-ion battery anodes?

The development of novel anodes is an effective method to improve advanced energy storage devices. In this work, a simple and easily scalable strategy is adopted to construct lithium gallium oxide (LiGaO 2) via a facile solid-state reaction method. However, there are few reports on LiGaO 2 for lithium-ion battery anodes.

Can gallium be used as a self-healing anode material for lithium ion batteries?

There is a great deal of interest in developing battery systems that can exhibit self-healing behavior, thus enhancing cycleability. Given that gallium (Ga) is a metal that melts near room temperature, we wanted to test if it could be employed as a self-healing anode material for lithium ion batteries (LIBs).

Are lithium-ion batteries good for energy storage?

Recently, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have received great attention for energy storage as extensively reported clean energy devices , . Because of the unsatisfactory capacity and insufficient high-rate capability of graphite anodes , the refinement and enhancement of LIB performance are imperative , .

Does Ligao 2 adsorb lithium ion?

In Fig. 1 f, the as-prepared LiGaO 2 particles are tightly coated with each other, revealing that the intimate contact interfaces with abundant active sites are conducive to lithium-ion adsorption and diffusion in the LiGaO 2 anode. The interplanar spacing (0.39 nm) is in accordance with the (011) of LiGaO 2.

Is Ligao 2 a good lithium ion storage mechanism?

Therefore, the lithiation designed LiGaO 2 anode exhibits an impressive cycling specific capacity of 253.3 mA h g −1 after 1000 cycles at 3.0 A g −1, demonstrating its exceptional cycling and rate performance. The lithium-ion storage mechanism was further experimentally explored via ex situ XRD analysis, showing excellent structural stability.
