Advanced Materials for High Energy Density Li-ion Batteries
Abstract
Electrochemical systems are being thought as the solution for the vast demand for high energy density in both portable and stationary devices. Such systems hold a great promise, while pressure on researchers grows as the need for more “juice” in mobile device (from small hand held electronic to large mobile systems as EV) dramatically increase as technology is rapidly evolving.
In this talk, we will address both the anode and cathode materials in Li-ion batteries. Lightweight anode current collector made of CNT (carbon nanotubes) tissue materials and metal fluoride coating applied by ALD of 5 volts Lithiated Mn spinel Ni doped cathode materials (LiMn1.5Ni0.5O4) will be discussed in this talk. Synergism of both technologies will be presented in a flexible Li-ion battery demonstration.
Biography
