Features of lithiated iron phosphate behavior (PH/P1, Phostech Lithium Inc, Canada) used as positive electrode of lithium-ion battery with LiPF₆-based electrolyte were investigated. It was shown that lihiated iron phosphate potential does not depend of lithium contents in active material. It was shown that cycle life of the positive electrode strongly depends on charge/discharge current. Fast degradation of the positive electrode takes place at low current rates (0.25 and 0.5C). At the same time degradation is considerably lower at 1 and 2.5C rates.

This paper describes the state-of-the-art and areas of application for lithium-ion batteries. Their competitiveness in comparison with conventional alkaline and acid based batteries is shown. System approaches and circuit configurations used for designing high-capacity energy storage batteries with microprocessor battery managemmt systems (BMS) are considered, including the main functions of BMS. Based on the given examples, the modular design approach of batteries with 2-3 levels of control has been proved. A comparative analysis of different hardware schemes for voltage leveling in storage batteries is carried out.

The review summarizes literature data on the thermal decomposition of ferrous oxalate with the formation of Fe, FeO, Fe₂O₃, Fe₃O₄, Fe₃C, and other products. Historical evolution of views on the ways and mechanisms of oxalate thermolysis is traced. The current state of the art is analyzed from the perspective of FeC₂O₄·2Н₂O0 compound for the synthesis of lithium iron phosphate LiFePO₄, which is a promising cathode material for lithium-ion batteries.

The methods for the synthesis of lithium iron phosphate LiFePO₄ with olivine structure have been developed. New materials based on lithium iron phosphate, including doped with metals, the «LiFePO₄ + carbon» composites obtained by pyrolysis of organic compounds have been synthesized. Crystallographic characterization of the synthesized materials was carried out; their electrochemical characteristics of the extraction and intercalation of lithium have been identified. A correlation between the crystallographic and electrochemical characteristics of the materials was found. It was confirmed that an effective way to improve the electrical conductivity of LiFePO₄ is to create a carbon shell of the products of pyrolysis of organic compounds on the material's particles surface. A correlation of electrical conductivity and temperature of synthesis of the material was determined. The sequence of chemical interaction between precursors for the synthesis of LiFePO₄ is defined; the mechanism of solid-phase interaction is described.

The study of the internal resistance of the lithium-ion battery designed and manufactured by JSC «Saturn» as the original, and after a long cycle life by pulse chronopotentiometry and electrochemical impedance was carried out. It is shown that the higher the hexagonal ordering of the material and the closer the degree of cation mixing to the optimal value, the less polarization resistance of the battery as original, and after a long cycle life. It was found that the less the original polarization resistance of the battery, the more its cyclic life.

Structure of thin-film electrodes manufactured by layer-by-layer magnetron sputtering of Si and Al in the environment with small oxygen additives has been studied. Charge-discharge behavior of these electrodes was studied as well. It is shown that such electrodes are able to stable cycling with marginal irreversible capacity.

Silicon nano- and microwires have been obtained by KCl-KF-K₂SiF₆-SiO₂ melt electrolysis in air; this material is suitable as anode component for lithium ion batteries. Optimal conditions of electrolysis were determined. Morphology, phase and chemical composition of silicon deposits were established. Electrochemical behavior of silicon nanowires as anode component was evaluated using solid polymer electrolyte cells.

A series of solid phases (mixed lithium-iron-manganese phosphates) of the common formula LiMn_yFe_1-yPO₄ (0 ≤ y ≤ 1) with a carbon coating on the particle surface was synthesized by mechanochemical activation with carbothermal reduction. The synthesized mixed phosphates were examined as promising cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries. The positive effect of replacement of a rather small fraction of iron by manganese is shown, which improves the electrochemical performance at the rates C/10–10C. The highest discharging capacity (above 160 mA·h/g at the C/10 rate, about 100 mA·h/g at the 10C rate) and cycling stability (the capacity decrease rate less than 0.05 mA·h/g per cycle at the 10 C rate) were established for the weakly doped cathode material LiMn_0.05Fe_0.95PO₄.

It is shown that the nonlinear structural model of the battery can be used for modeling the voltage relaxation processes after a charge of batteries. The solution obtained is valid for alkaline, acid and lithium-ion batteries. Comparison of solutions, with the experimental data for nickel-cadmium batteries, showed, that the relative error does not exceed 3%.

The possibility of using organic esters of phosphoric acid as a solvents for the electrolyte for lithium-ion systems and supercapacitors was investigated. Supercapacitors based on activated carbon Norit Supra and on the electrolyte being studied showed fine electrochemical performance which is comparable with standard electrolytes based on propylene carbonate. Lithium-ion batteries (Li4Ti5O12-LiNiO2 system) also showed a good performance. The conductivity of electrolytes based on tributyl phosphate was measured, as well as its thermodynamic stability was estimated.
