Microscopic examination and elemental depth profiling analysis of lithium intercalated MnO 2 cathode using TEM and ERDA techniques
نویسندگان
چکیده
The objective of the proposed study is to use ANSTO’s transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and elastic recoil detection analysis (ERDA) combined with Rutherford back scattering (RBS). TEM and its associated techniques like HR-TEM (High resolution) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) are proposed to determine the lattice fringes and electron diffraction pattern with d-spacing corresponding to lithium intercalated manganese dioxide (MnO2). ERDA technique is proposed to assess the possibility to measure surface-near elemental depth profiles of Li, Zn, Mn etc in one single beam shot in a discharged (Li intercalated) MnO2 cathode material.

TEM characterization of MnO2 cathode in an aqueous lithium secondary battery
The discharge characteristics of manganese dioxide cathode in the presence of small amounts (1, 3 and 5 wt. %) of titanium disulphide (TiS2) additive has been investigated in an alkaline cell using aqueous lithium hydroxide as the electrolyte. The incorporation of small amounts of TiS2 additives into manganese dioxide (MnO2) was found to improve the battery discharge capacity from 150 to 270 mA...
