Single-Source Precursors For The Low-Temperature Preparation Of Rechargeable Battery Electrode Materials, Zheng Wei
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Lithium ion batteries have revolutionized the portable electronics market and are being intensively pursued now for transportation and for stationary storage of renewable energies. As one of the most promising alternatives, sodium ion batteries are also being actively studied owing to the high abundance and low cost of sodium sources. Electrodes play a critical role in defining the overall performance of secondary batteries, while the morphologies of electrode materials greatly determine their properties. Different synthetic methods afford electrode materials with specific morphology. Compared to traditional electrode preparation techniques, the single-source precursor approach can produce materials at significantly lower temperatures, with …
