Abstract There are two goals of this thesis : (1) It can increase the cycle life of batteries by soaking graphite material in the solution that mixing sulfuricacid and nitric acid; (2) Doping Li-montmorillonite in the graphite material in order to improve cycle life of batteries. It has been found that increase the time of acid treatment the diffusion coefficient of lithium in the graphites increase, and it reaches the largest value (1.298*E-7 cm2/s) as graphite treated in 6 minnute. The cycle life of graphite materials are shown to be improved by pretreatment in acid media,and the specific capacity retained over 259mAh/g as graphite being treated in 8 minute at 100th cycle in charge/ discharge cycling test. It can be found from the AC impedance test, the passivation film of graphite electrode becomemore stabilized as the content of lithium on graphite in x=0.2~0.3 (LixC6). There are the properties of layer structure and ionic conductivity of Li-montmorillonite, and doping it in graphite material which keep with electronicconductivity can improve the charge/discharge behaviors and increase the cyclelife of batteries. The decayed rate of specific capacity before 100th cycle incharge/discharge cycling test has been decreased from 57% to 25% as the graphite electrode materials with 2wt% Li-montmorillonite.Keywords: Li-montmorillonite, diffusion coefficient, charge/discharge test, AC impedance.
