Present study reports an easy and cost-effective method of synthesis Li4Fe(CN)6 cathode from K4Fe(CN)6.3H2O LiClO4 in aqueous medium for its use lithium-ion battery. The synthesized is characterized by UV-Vis, FTIR cyclic-voltammetry studies. A special laboratory model battery designed, where solution acts as a cathode, metallic lithium anode 1 molar LiPF6 dissolved water immiscible ionic liqui...

The terahertz complex permittivity of the molecular plastic crystal succinonitrile (SN) or 1,2 dicyanoethane (N≡C−CH2−CH2−C≡N), doped with the lithium salts LiBF4, LiPF6, LiTFSI, and LiClO4 to form solid-state plastic crystal electrolytes, is measured and compared using temperature-dependent terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS). In contrast to the trends at low frequency, SN’s terahertz...

Poor cycling performance for many high voltage lithium ion batteries (LIB) has been attributed to damage of the anode solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) resulting from crossover reactions. Transition-metal proposed as a primary source SEI and capacity loss, especially high-voltage spinel cathodes. However, deposition transition metals on may not be degradation. This investigation focuses oxidat...

Future energy demand is an important issue that requires consideration. Lithiumion batteries (LIB) are one of the most popular types of rechargeable battery for portable electronic devices, such as mobile phones, cameras, and laptop computers, and have led to other applications being commercialized. Distributed power generation using renewable energy sources, such as solar photovoltaic (PV), ca...

ANODE-free Li-metal batteries (AFLMBs) operating with Li of cathode material have attracted enormous attention due to their exceptional energy density originating from anode-free structure in the confined cell volume. However, uncontrolled dendritic growth lithium on a copper current collector can limit its practical application as it causes fatal issues for stable cycling such dead formation, ...

Temperature is a crucial factor for the safe operation of lithium-ion batteries. During operation, internal temperature rises above external due to poor inner thermal conductivity. Various sensors have been proposed detect temperature, including fiber Bragg grating sensors. However, authors’ knowledge, there no detailed description encapsulation sensor in literature shield it from strain. In th...

Herein, the synthesis of a novel nitroxide-mediated polymerization (NMP) initiator bearing photolabile ortho-nitrobenzyl (oNB) group allowing surface-initiated NMP preparation well-defined photoresponsive polystyrene grafted on silica nanoparticles is described. The photocleavable and properties prepared materials are demonstrated using small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) characterization.
