Nanostructured Lithium-Aluminum Alloy Electrodes for Lithium-Ion Batteries

Electrodeposited aluminum films and template-synthesized aluminum nanorods are examined as negative electrodes for lithium-ion batteries. The lithium-aluminum alloying reaction is observed electrochemically with cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic cycling in lithium half-cells. The electrodeposition reaction is shown to have high faradaic efficiency, and electrodeposited aluminum films reach t...

An Effective Nitrogen Doping Technique for Improving the Performance of Lithium Ion Batteries with CNT Based Electrodes

Lithium ion batteries are among the most used rechargeable batteries in the world. Carbon nanostructures including carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are considered as important electrode materials for this kind of batteries. Therefore improving the performance of these carbon based electrodes in Lithium ion batteries is an important issue and attracts much attention in the battery community. In this manu...

Kinetic characteristics of mixed conductive electrodes for lithium ion batteries

The rate performances of four mixed conductive electrodes (Li4/3Ti5/3O4, LiFePO4, LiCoO2 and LiCo1/3Ni1/3Mn1/3O2) were investigated using alvanostatic charge/discharge, electrochemical impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and galvanostatic intermittent titration (GITT). These four electrode aterials can be roughly divided into two groups according to the structure change during Li intercalation/extract...

Solvent-Free Manufacturing of Electrodes for Lithium-ion Batteries

Lithium ion battery electrodes were manufactured using a new, completely dry powder painting process. The solvents used for conventional slurry-cast electrodes have been completely removed. Thermal activation time has been greatly reduced due to the time and resource demanding solvent evaporation process needed with slurry-cast electrode manufacturing being replaced by a hot rolling process. It...
