Considerations in applying neutron depth profiling (NDP) to Li-ion battery research

Notes on Neutron Depth Profiling

Modelling Li Ion Battery Electrode Properties

In recent years, interest in using lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries as power sources for a wide range of devices (particularly portable devices) has grown significantly. There is thus a real need to understand at a fundamental level a wide range of battery performance criteria (energy density, power density, safety, durability, cost). Our working group considered how to model the fundamental elec...

Key challenges in future Li-battery research.

Batteries are a major technological challenge in this new century as they are a key method to make more efficient use of energy. Although today's Li-ion technology has conquered the portable electronic markets and is still improving, it falls short of meeting the demands dictated by the powering of both hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles or by the storage of renewable energies (wind...

Quantitative considerations in medium energy ion scattering depth profiling analysis of nanolayers

The high depth resolution capability of medium energy ion scattering (MEIS) is becoming increasingly relevant to the characterisation of nanolayers in e.g. microelectronics. In this paper we examine the attainable quantitative accuracy of MEIS depth profiling. Transparent but reliable analytical calculations are used to illustrate what can ultimately be achieved for dilute impurities in a silic...
