In this study, the impact of morphology of conductive agent and anode material (Fe3O4) on lithium storage properties was throughly investigated. Granular and belt-like Fe3O4 active materials were separately blended with two kinds of conductive agents (i.e., granular acetylene black and multi-walled carbon nanotube) as anodes in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), respectively. It was found that the morphology of conductive agent is of utmost importance in determining LIBs storage properties. In contrast, not as the way we anticipated, the morphology of anode material merely plays a subordinate role in their electrochemical performances. Further, the morphology-matching principle of electrode materials was discussed so as to render their utilization more rational and effective in LIBs.

导电剂和阳极材料的形态对锂储存性能的影响。

在这项研究中，彻底研究了导电剂和负极材料（Fe3O4）的形态对锂储存性能的影响。颗粒状和带状Fe3O4活性材料分别与两种导电剂（颗粒状乙炔黑和多壁碳纳米管）分别混合，作为锂离子电池（LIB）的阳极。已经发现，导电剂的形态对于确定LIBs的储存性能至关重要。相反，并非如我们所预期的那样，阳极材料的形态仅在其电化学性能中起次要作用。此外，讨论了电极材料的形态匹配原理，以使其在锂离子电池中的利用更加合理和有效。
