Abstract:Al-Fe and Al-Fe-C nanocomposite particles were prepared through DC arc-discharge method under a methane atmosphere with micro-sized aluminium and iron powders as the raw materials. The formation mechanism, structures, morphologies and electrochemical performances of the nanoparticles’ samples were studied. The effects of carbon atoms on the composition, phase structure and electrochemical properties were studied, and the formation mechanism of nanoparticles as well as electrochemical intercalation/deintercalation of lithium ions were also discussed. The results indicate that the Al-Fe particles prepared in a carbon-free atmosphere are spherical in shapes, meanwhile, the carbon-containing atmosphere causes the morphology of particles columnar or linear, the composition changes from Al to Al4C3 and from FeAl2 to Fe2Al5 in Al-Fe-C nanocomposite particles. The first discharge capacities of four kinds of nanoparticles’ electrodes are 348.8, 193.3, 275.5 and 628.8 mA?h/g, under the current density of 100 mA/g, respectively. The presence of intermetallic Fe2Al5 in the powders favors to improve the capacities and restrain the volume changes during the intercalation/deintercalation of lithium ions, thus the cycle stability of electrode was greatly enhanced.
