Preparation of Novel Electrode Materials Based on Lithium Niobium Sulfides

Germanium-Based Electrode Materials for Lithium-Ion Batteries

Advanced energy-storage systems are critically important for meeting the ever-increasing demand for applications from portable electronics to all-electric vehicles, and recently for applications in the grid for storing energy from fluctuating renewable sources, such as wind or solar energy. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have received worldwide attention as a top performing energy-storage system....

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...

Microwave synthesis of electrode materials for lithium batteries

A novel microwave method is described for the preparation of electrode materials required for lithium batteries. The method is simple, fast and carried out in most cases with the same starting material as in conventional methods. Good crystallinity has been noted and lower temperatures of reaction has been inferred in cases where low temperature products have been identified.
