The electrochemical properties of hybrid carbon as a negative active material for lithium ion batteries

리튬이온전지용 음극 활물질 하이브리드형 탄소의 전기화학적 특성

Different types of hybrid negative materials on pitch based carbon and natural graphite for lithium ion batteries were studied. Two types of active materials were prepared, that is, pitch based graphite carbon, and pitch based carbon impregnating natural graphite. The specific capacity, capacity recovery in high temperature condition, and other electrochemical properties were achieved for these materials. We found that addition of natural graphite type to the pitch based carbon can significant1y improve the specific capacity and interfacial resistance. However, use of natural graphite will cause a serious capacity loss in the high temperature condition owing to its increasing interface resistance. The specific capacity ranged from 321 to 348 mAh/g and the maximum specific capacity was obtained in the case of pitch based carbon impregnating natural graphite.
