Cr[sub 2]O[sub 3]-Based Anode Materials for Li-Ion Batteries

Abstract
Was investigated as an anode active material for Li-ion batteries due to its low electromotive force value. Reversibly Li-storage mechanism is mainly related to the reactions The initial discharge and charge capacity of was 1166 and 771 mAh/g. Bare electrodes showed poor cyclic performance due to large volume change. composite with core/shell structure showed good capacity retention and improved first-cycle coulombic efficiency, which could benefit from maintaining good electronic contact of active particles during cycling and avoiding the formation of unstable solid electrolyte interface film on the surface of the particles. © 2004 The Electrochemical Society.
