High energy storage capacity and longer life span make rechargeable Li-ion batteries the first choice in portable electronics. Here, a graphene-MoS2 composite material is investigated as a potential electrode material which enhances the electrochemical storage ability of the Li-ion batteries (LIBs). Graphene-MoS2 composite is synthesized from graphene oxide (GO), molybdenum trioxide and thiourea via hydrothermal route. Formation of graphene-MoS2 composite (molar ratio 1:2) is confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The characteristic phonons modes of graphene (D and G bands) and MoS2 (A1g and E2g) are observed in the Raman spectra of the synthesized graphene-MoS2 composite. Fourier- transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy showed reduction from GO to graphene in composite due to absence of C = O bond while the peaks observed at 900 cm−1 and 1095 cm−1 of Mo-O and S = O, respectively, supports the formation composite material. To investigate the diffusion rate of Li+ ions for anode material, the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements modeled with equivalent circuit has been performed, which showed the high diffusion rate of Li ions but with less cyclic stability due to drastic change in surface film resistance for increased number of cycles. The value of discharge capacity obtained for the first cycle is ~ 975 mAh/g, which dropped to 250 mAh/g after executing 80 cycles. For different cycles, rate capabilities have also been measured at different current densities. At initial current density of 100 mAh/g, the highest discharge capacity of 975 mAh/g is obtained. The current density dropped to 200 mAh/g from the highest current density of 1000 mAh/g after 40 cycles with a retention capacity of 20%. The present study confirmed that composite synthesized from precursors, namely, molybdenum trioxide and thiourea has the potential as an electrode for LIBs.

Optimization of nickel, cobalt and lithium recovery processes from spent li-ion batteries Tekmanlı, Fırat; Aydınol, Mehmet Kadri; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2022-12-28) Since lithium-ion batteries are standard in electric vehicles and electrical devices and have the potential to be used widely in the future, it is essential to recycle end-of-life batteries. Waste lithium-ion batteries are harmful to the environment and human health and should be recycled also due to their critical metals. Lithium-ion batteries can be classified according to their cathode chemistry. In this thesis, the recycling of lithium-ion batteries with NMC-type (Nickel- Manganese-Cobalt) cathode chemi...
Development and characterization of tin based anode materials for Li-Ion batteries Yılmaz, Emre; Aydınol, Mehmet Kadri; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2018) Li-ion batteries are the most popular type of portable secondary batteries. They generate electrons at anode electrode during discharging process by releasing $Li^+$ ions from anode, in which graphite is used as Li reservoir. Recently, $SiO_2$ and Tin (IV) Oxide materials are investigated as anode materials by researchers, due to their very high theoretical capacity. There are two problems, however, limiting their use which are pulverization and irreversible reaction problems. These problems are, also, the ...
Modeling of reaction and degradation mechanisms in lithium-sulfur batteries Erişen, Nisa; Külah, Görkem; Department of Chemical Engineering (2019) Lithium-sulfur batteries are promising alternatives for the energy storage systems beyond Li-ion batteries due to their high theoretical specific energy (2567 Wh/kg) in addition to the natural abundancy, non-toxicity and low cost of sulfur. The reaction and degradation mechanisms in a Li-S battery include various electrochemical and precipitation/dissolution reactions of sulfur and polysulfides; however, the exact mechanism is still unclear. In this study, the effect of critical cathode design parameters su...
Development and characterization of tungstates and molybdates for li-ion batteries Kaygusuz, Burçin; Aydınol, Mehmet Kadri; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2016) In recent years, the need for portable power, lithium ion batteries dominate the markets because of their advantages. Metal tungstates and molybdates (Metals: Fe, Ni, Co, Mn, Zn, Mg) are two important families of inorganic materials and have found many applications in various fields, such as catalysis, magnetic applications, humidity sensors, and photoluminescence. However, their use in energy storage applications is almost none. The tungstates and molybdates adapt monoclinic crystal structure and crystalli...
Design and implementation of low power interface electronics for vibration-based electromagnetic energy harvesters Rahimi, Arian; Külah, Haluk; Muhtaroğlu, Ali; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011) For many years batteries have been used as the main power sources for portable electronic devices. However, the rate of scaling in integrated circuits and micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) has been much higher than that of the batteries technology. Therefore, a need to replace these temporary energy reservoirs with small sized continuously charged energy supply units has emerged. These units, named as energy harvesters, use several types of ambient energy sources such as heat, light, and vibration to ...
