Design and Preparation of Advanced Materials for Lithium-Air Batteries

Electrode Materials for Lithium Ion Batteries: A Review

Electrochemical energy storage systems are categorized into different types, according to their mechanisms, including capacitors, supercapacitors, batteries and fuel cells. All battery systems include some main components: anode, cathode, an aqueous/non-aqueous electrolyte and a membrane that separates anode and cathode while being permeable to ions. Being one of the key parts of any new electr...

Materials for Lithium Batteries

Recent Progress in Advanced Materials for Lithium Ion Batteries

The development and commercialization of lithium ion batteries is rooted in material discovery. Promising new materials with high energy density are required for achieving the goal toward alternative forms of transportation. Over the past decade, significant progress and effort has been made in developing the new generation of Li-ion battery materials. In the review, I will focus on the recent ...

Lithium batteries and cathode materials.

In the previous paper Ralph Brodd and Martin Winter described the different kinds of batteries and fuel cells. In this paper I will describe lithium batteries in more detail, building an overall foundation for the papers that follow which describe specific components in some depth and usually with an emphasis on the materials behavior. The lithium battery industry is undergoing rapid expansion,...

Performance and design considerations for lithium excess layered oxide positive electrode materials for lithium ion batteries

The Li-excess oxide compound is one of the most promising positive electrode materials for next generation batteries exhibiting high capacities of 4300 mA h g 1 due to the unconventional participation of the oxygen anion redox in the charge compensation mechanism. However, its synthesis has been proven to be highly sensitive to varying conditions and parameters where nanoscale phase separation ...
