Book Novel Sustainable Anode Materials and Interfacial Chemistry for Improved Rechargeable Batteries

Download or read book Novel Sustainable Anode Materials and Interfacial Chemistry for Improved Rechargeable Batteries written by Yunchao Li and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fast growth of the renewable energy market leads to a rapidly increased demand for high-performance energy storage. Despite the great success of the current lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in portable electronics, the findings of new applications such as in electric vehicles and in large-scale energy storage revealed the limitations of current LIBs in terms of performance, cost, life time and safety. To meet the future application requirements, this dissertation is focused on the innovation and improvement of anode materials, characterization and understanding of material surface properties and modification of the anode materials. A new carbon material recovered from waste tire with higher capacity and lower cost is discovered. In the meantime, there are also some issues for the application of such material. Various characterization techniques, such as neutron vibrational spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were utilized to better understand the carbon surface properties. Several methods were applied for surface modification to future improve the interface between electrode and electrolyte, resulted in better performance of tire-derive carbon in LIBs. Another way for alleviating interfacial problem on the anode side is through the use of high voltage anode materials such as lithium titanates. Mono-dispersed nanosized lithium titanates was synthesized with shape controlled method, which showed high rate capability and long cycle life. Moreover, a sustainable lithium source is tested for application as battery material precursor. By integration of materials modification, interfacial engineering, and the advanced characterization techniques, we could potentially build a low-cost, safe and long cycling advanced rechargeable batteries.

Download or read book Rechargeable Lithium Ion Batteries written by Thandavarayan Maiyalagan and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-12-17 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lithium-ion batteries are the most promising among the secondary battery technologies, for providing high energy and high power required for hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) and electric vehicles (EV). Lithium-ion batteries consist of conventional graphite or lithium titanate as anode and lithium transition metal-oxides as cathode. A lithium salt dissolved in an aprotic solvent such as ethylene carbonate and diethylene carbonate is used as electrolyte. This rechargeable battery operates based on the principle of electrochemical lithium insertion/re-insertion or intercalation/de-intercalation during charging/discharging of the battery. It is essential that both electrodes have layered structure which should accept and release the lithium-ion. In advanced lithium-ion battery technologies, other than layered anodes are also considered. High cell voltage, high capacity as well as energy density, high Columbic efficiency, long cycle life, and convenient to fabricate any size or shape of the battery, are the vital features of this battery technology. Lithium-ion batteries are already being used widely in most of the consumer electronics such as mobile phones, laptops, PDAs etc. and are in early stages of application in HEV and EV, which will have far and wide implications and benefits to society. The book contains ten chapters, each focusing on a specific topic pertaining to the application of lithium-ion batteries in Electric Vehicles. Basic principles, electrode materials, electrolytes, high voltage cathodes, recycling spent Li-ion batteries and battery charge controller are addressed. This book is unique among the countable books focusing on the lithium-ion battery technologies for vehicular applications. It provides fundamentals and practical knowledge on the lithium-ion battery for vehicular application. Students, scholars, academicians, and battery and automobile industries will find this volume useful.
