High-throughput characterization methods for lithium batteries

Fabrication and Characterization of Lithium-Sulfur Batteries

The lithium–sulfur battery is a promising system for the future generation of rechargeable batteries. Its main advantages are the high theoretical capacity (1675 Ah kgS), high energy density (2500 Wh kgS), and low cost of sulfur. So far, the commercial application of this battery has been hindered by the reduced cyclelife. The isolating properties of sulfur as well as the formation of polysulf...

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...

Synthesis and characterization of fluorinated carbon nanotubes for lithium primary batteries with high power density.

The synthesis and characterization of fluorinated carbon nanotubes have been carried out under an inert gas containing fluorine. All of the samples have been characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance ((13)C and (19)F ss-NMR) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. The comparison of the effects ...
