Özet

Sn-Co alloy films for Li-ion batteries were prepared by pulse electrodeposition on the copper foils as current collectors. Nanocrystalline Sn-Co alloy electrodes produced by using a solution containing cobalt chloride and tin chloride at constant electrodeposition conditions (pulse on-time too at 5 ms and pulse off-time toff at 5 ms) with varying peak current densities, Jp have been investigated. The structures of the electroplated Sn-Co alloy thin films were studied to reveal film morphology current density relationships and the effect of the current density parameters on the electrochemical properties. X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analyzer and Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) facilities were used for determination the relationships between structure and experimental parameters. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) tests were carried out to reveal reversible reactions between cobalt tin and lithium. Galvanostatic charge/discharge (GC) measurements were performed in the cells formed by using anode composite materials produced by pulse elect co-deposition. The discharge capacities of these cells were cyclically tested by a battery tester at a constant current in the different voltage ranges between 0.02 V-1.5 V. The results have shown that Sn-Co alloy yielded promising reversible discharge capacities with a satisfactory cycle life for an alternative anode material to apply for the Li-ion batteries.
