Abstract
A hybrid battery-supercapacitor (LiFePO4+AC)/Li4Ti5O12 using a Li4Ti5O12 anode and a LiFePO4/activated carbon (AC) composite cathode was built. The electrochemical performances of the hybrid battery-supercapacitor (LiFePO4+AC)/Li4Ti5O12 were characterized by constant current charge-discharge, rate charge-discharge, electrochemical impedance spectra, internal resistance, leakage current, self-discharge and cycle performance testing. The results show that (LiFePO4+AC)/Li4Ti5O12 hybrid battery-supercapacitors have rapid charge-discharge performance, high energy density, long cycle life, low resistance, low leakage current and self-discharge rate, which meet the requirements of practical power supply and can be applied in auxiliary power supplies for hybrid electric vehicles. At 4C rate, the capacity loss of (LiFePO4+AC)/Li4Ti5O12 hybrid battery-supercapacitors in constant current mode is no more than 7.71% after 2000 cycles, and the capacity loss in constant current-constant voltage mode is no more than 4.51% after 1500 cycles.
