| Description |
LiSbO(3) has been synthesized by wet-chemical route using natural honeycomb as template, followed by thermal treatment at 850 degrees C. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) confirms a single phase material having an orthorhombic crystal structure with lattice parameters of a = 4.912 angstrom, b = 8.679 angstrom and c = 5.089 angstrom. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) revealed that while conventional LiSbO(3) synthesized without using any template (C-LiSbO(3)) consists of softly agglomerated clusters of bar-shaped multifaceted micrometer-sized grains (0.5-4.0 mu m long and 0.5-1.0 mu m wide). templated LiSbO(3) (T-LiSbO(3)) consists of an agglomeration-free morphology with discrete cubic shaped particles of sizes 40-80 nm. Electrochemical investigation in 2032 type coin cells vs Li/Li(+) shows that Li insertion in LiSbO(3) takes place at 0.78 V while Li extraction occurs in two stages at 1.1 and 1.4V with initial capacities of 178 and 196 mAh g(-1) for C-LiSbO(3) and T-LiSbO(3) respectively. While C-LiSbO(3) shows a drastic capacity fading retaining only 28% of initial capacity after 100 cycles, T-LiSbO(3) retains similar to 48% of the initial capacity due to the faceted morphology of the nanoparticles.
