Abstract

We evaluated methods aimed at improving the performance of full-cell including: i) Presodiating HC by discharging to 0.1 V in half-cell; ii) Presodiating HC by contacting with Na metal; iii) Activating by low current charging at a rate of C/20 initially, iv) Constant current charging to a cutoff voltage of 3.95 V then hold the voltage for 6 hours. The results showed that the cell being charged by low current density did not exhibit feasible work while the cell (iv) displayed an improvement in capacity while the cell (i) and the cell (ii) both are better in terms of Coulombic efficiency.
