Enhancing cycle stability and storage property of LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 by using fast cooling method

The electrochemical performance and storage properties of Ni-rich cathode materials (LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2) are improved via fast cooling methods (fast and ultrafast cooling). X-ray diffraction (XRD) results demonstrate that the interslab thickness of a fast-cooled sample is larger, and the degree of cation mixing is relatively lower, than in an untreated sample. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirms that the content of Ni3+ on the surface of a fast-cooling treated sample is lower, while the average valence state of Ni obtained via titration is higher, than in the untreated sample, indicating the existence of a surface layer with less Ni3+ for as-treated samples. Electrochemical characterizations confirm that as-treated samples display better cycling stability at 25°C and 55°C, as well as better rate capability, consistent with the XRD results. Fourier-transformed infrared spectrum (FTIR), XRD and electrochemical analysis confirm that the storage properties of fast-cooled samples are also enhanced. These results suggest that fast-cooled LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 with less Ni3+ at the surface and larger interslab thickness in the bulk is a promising cathode material for high performance lithium ion batteries.

Synthesis of Chiral Heterocyclic N-Haloamides and -imides and Their Applications as Halogenating Agents and Mechanistic Probes

by Ulrich Hennecke, Christian H. Müller, Constantin G. Daniliuc

N-Haloamides and -imides are standard halogenating agents and have been used in radical as well as electrophilic halogenation reactions. Despite their many applications, there are only few reports of chiral derivatives of the most common of these reagents such as N-halosuccinimides. Herein, we report the synthesis of new chiral N-halogenated amides and imide derivatives, which are easily accessible from inexpensive starting materials of the chiral pool. These new chiral halogenating agents were then applied as stoichiometric reagents in haloetherification reactions and as mechanistic probes in organocatalytic halocyclization reactions.

The syntheses of new chiral N-halogenated amide and imide derivatives have been reported. These compounds were then examined as chiral stoichiometric halogenating agents in haloetherification reactions and as mechanistic probes in enantioselective organocatalytic halocyclization reactions.
