Abstract

Thermal and surface properties of LiFePO4/very-few-layer graphene (LiFePO4/VFLG) composite manufactured through the sol-gel route have been researched for lithium-ion battery cathode application. VFLG was acquired from a facile, cost-effective, and environmentally benign fluid dynamic shear exfoliation process. The composites were characterized through thermogravimetry analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) interlinked with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and Braneur-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis. The TGA-DSC results showed that the integration of VFLG could enhance the thermal stability of the composite by inhibiting oxygen diffusion on the LiFePO4 surface. FESEM-EDX analysis, meanwhile, confirmed the homogeneously distributed VFLG in the composites. TEM results revealed that the average particle sizes of the composites decreased by about 21.2% compared to the bare LiFePO4. TEM and HRTEM results confirmed an intimate contact between VFLG intimately and LiFePO4 particles via plane-to-point contact, contributing to the control and reduction of particle size. Furthermore, physisorption via BET analysis revealed that incorporating VFLG provided a wider distribution of mesopores and increased pore diameter and pore volume by 128.7% and 656.3%, respectively, compared to sole LiFePO4. These significant improvements were related to the flexibility and ability of a thin layer of VFLG to limit the growth of LiFePO4 particles. This approach offers a promising strategy to enhance the thermal stability and surface properties of lithium-ion battery cathodes.

Abstract

Industry produces textile liquid waste which contains dangerous compounds such as methylene blue which can damage the environment. One effective method to overcome this problem is to use a TiO2 nanocomposite-based photocatalyst modified with Graphene Oxide (GO). GO is obtained from the synthesis of coconut shells, which is a biomass waste. This research aims to synthesize and display the performance of a TiO2/Graphene Oxide composite photocatalyst from coconut shells in degrading methylene blue. The TiO2/Graphene oxide nanocomposite synthesis method begins by carbonizing coconut shells to form graphite. Carbonization removes volatile compounds and produces a rich carbon structure, which is the initial requirement for the formation of GO. Synthesis of GO from graphite using the Hummer method. Synthesis of TiO2/Graphene oxide composite using a solvothermal process with various GO mass ratios. The performance of the photocatalyst was tested for degradation using methylene blue. Analysis of the TiO2/Graphene Oxide Composite using XRD, FTIR, SEM, BET characterisation and UV-Vis Spectrophotometer. The results show that at GO of 15%, the composite showed the highest surface area and optimal anatase crystallinity, resulting in the best degradation efficiency (70%). Graphene Oxide is synthesized from coconut shell biomass waste. This research shows that the TiO₂–Graphene Oxide composite has high efficiency in degrading dangerous synthetic dyes from textile industry wastewater through an efficient photocatalytic mechanism. This composite application is an application of technology that contributes directly to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDG 6 (Clean Water and Adequate Sanitation), through the development of sustainable, efficient and environmentally friendly waste processing technology.
