Abstract:
Lithium-ion battery capacitor (LIBC), which combines battery material and capacitor material in the cathode, has attracted attention for bridging the gap between high energy density and high power density in energy storage devices, but its application is hindered by polarization phenomena. To address this problem, an enhanced cathode conductive network is established by optimizing the conductive agent content and introducing conductive additives, which can improve the electronic and ionic conductivity. Cathode half-cell with enhanced conductive network, utilizing LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 and activated carbon as active materials, carbon black (CB) and vapor grown carbon fiber (VGCF) as conductive agents, indicates excellent capacity, rate capability, and cycle performance. And it shows low polarization with the voltage differences between the redox peaks of 91 mV at 0.1 mV s−1 in cyclic voltammetry experiments, nearly 26 % smaller than that for a half-cell with only 5 % CB as the conductive agent. Additionally, the complex polarization dynamics are revealed by distribution of relaxation times technique for extracting time scale information and a mathematical model based on the pseudo-two-dimensions theory. Consequently, a full-cell with a pre-lithiated soft carbon anode is assembled, displaying a great device performance of 300.3 Wh kg−1 and 15.7 kW kg−1. After 7500 cycles at 500 mA g−1, the capacity retention of the device can reach 81.1 % and the energy efficiency is 92.4 %. This study contributes to a better understanding of the polarization phenomenon of LIBCs. © 2025 Elsevier Ltd
