Miniaturization of Reference Electrodes for Solid-State Lithium-Ion Batteries

Reliable reference electrodes for lithium-ion batteries

Metal hydride-based materials towards high performance negative electrodes for all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries.

Electrode performances of MgH2-LiBH4 composite materials for lithium-ion batteries have been studied using LiBH4 as the solid-state electrolyte, which shows a high reversible capacity of 1650 mA h g(-1) with an extremely low polarization of 0.05 V, durable cyclability and robust rate capability.

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...

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...
