Secondary Battery Using Activated Carbon Fiber as Negative Electrode Material

Thermochemically activated carbon as an electrode material for supercapacitors

The results of electrochemical studies of nanoporous carbon as electrode material for electrochemical capacitors (EC) are presented in this work. Nanoporous carbon material (NCM) was obtained from the raw materials of plant origin by carbonization and subsequent activation in potassium hydroxide. It is established that there is an optimal ratio of 1:1 between content of KOH and carbon material ...

Micrometric Growth of V2O5Hexagonal Nano-plates as an Active Material for Lithium Ion Battery Cathode Electrode

This manuscript reports the synthesis of V2O5 nanostructures using reflux method, without using additives such as surface reactants. The influence of reaction parameters like temperature and concentration on the growth of nanostructures have been investigated. It has been observed that the nanostructures are formed with a hexagonal nano-plate morphology, grown from a common core. The diameter o...

Evaluation of Carbon-Coated Graphite as a Negative Electrode Material for Li-Ion Batteries

Low-cost and environmentally-friendly materials are investigated as carbon-coating precursors to modify the surface of commercial graphite for Li-ion battery anodes. The coating procedure and final carbon content are tuned to study the influence of the precursors on the electrochemical performance of graphite. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Brunauer– Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area analy...

A high performance lithium-ion battery using LiNa0.02K0.01FePO4/C as cathode material and anatase TiO2 nanotube arrays as anode material

In this paper we report on a lithium ion battery (LIB) based on improved olivine lithium iron phosphate/carbon (LiFePO4/C) as cathode material and LiNa0.02K0.01FePO4/C  synthesized by sol-gel method and TiO2 nanotube arrays (TNAs) with an anatase phasesynthesized through anodization of Ti foil as an anode electrode. Crystallographic structure and surface morphology of the cathode and anode mate...
