Transition metal compounds have attracted significant attention as anode materials for lithium⁃ion batteries (LIBs) owing to their high theoretical capacities. Molybdenum⁃based compounds exhibit superior electrical conductivity compared to conventional metal oxides. However, their cycling stability requires further improvement. An ultrasonic spray pyrolysis method was used to prepare self⁃supported MoO2/MoO3/C composite microspheres, and the mass concentration of hydrothermal glucose⁃derived carbon quantum dots was exploited to optimize the microstructures of the composites. A suite of characterization techniques including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X⁃ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were employed to systematically investigate the micromorphology and crystal structural features of the as⁃prepared materials. Lithium storage and electrochemical performance tests were also carried out. The results demonstrate that MoO2/MoO3 heterojunctions are homogeneously embedded within the carbon matrix to form a stable conductive network. After 100 cycles at a current density of 0.2 A/g, the composite retains a discharge specific capacity of 914.8 mA·h/g, exhibiting outstanding cycling stability and lithium storage capability. This study offers an effective approach for designing high⁃performance molybdenum⁃based anode materials for LIBs.
The composite gel polymer electrolyte (CGPE) with high ionic conductivity was prepared, in which poly(vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP) served as the based polymer, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) as the blending agent, LiPF6 as the conducting salt, and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as the plasticizer. The structures were characterized by using IR, the ionic conductivity was determined by AC impedance, and the electrochemical stability was measured by linear sweep voltammetry. The charge-discharge properties of the Li-ion batteries in which the CGPE served as membrane were investigated.The results show that the CGPE conductivity is more than 10-3S/cm, and electrochemical window is stable under 4.65 V when 20% PMMA was mixed. When using LiFePO4 as the cathode material, the initial discharge capacities of Li-ion cell in the CGPE were 138 and 98.3 mAh/g at 0.1 C and 0.2 C rate respectively.
