Electrochemical Activity of Nano-NiSi2 in Li Cells
Obrovac, MN; Du, Zhijia; Hatchard, T. D.; Bissonnette, Paul; Dunlap, R. A. (The Electrochemical Society, 2016-09-09)Crystalline and nanocrystalline NiSi2 were studied as negative electrode materials in Li cells. Crystalline NiSi2 was found to be inactive toward lithiation/delithiation. However, it was found that NiSi2 becomes active ... -
The Electrochemical Reaction Mechanism of Tin Phosphide with Sodium
Obrovac, MN; Dunlap, R. A.; Zheng, Lituo (The Electrochemical Society, 2016-04-08)The sodiation mechanism of Sn4P3 was studied by ex-situ X-ray diffraction and Mössbauer effect spectroscopy. These results show that Sn4P3 is initially amorphized during sodiation, and suggest that upon further sodiation ... -
Electrochemistry and Thermal Behavior of SiOx Made by Reactive Gas Milling
Obrovac, MN; Cao, Yidan; Dunlap, R. A. (The Electrochemical Society, 2020-06-30)SiOx with various oxygen contents were synthesized from Si powder by a simple room-temperature ball milling method by controlling the air exposure time during milling. The resulting SiOx consists of nano and amorphous Si ... -
Electrochemistry of Catalytically Graphitized Ball Milled Carbon in Li Batteries
Obrovac, MN; Zhao, Xiuyun; Yao, Yuan; George, A. E.; Dunlap, R. A. (The Electrochemical Society, 2016-03-03)High carbon Fe-C composites with starting concentrations of 10, 20, 30, and 40 wt% Fe (2.3 - 12.5 atomic % Fe) were prepared by ball milling followed by annealing. Increasing the Fe concentration and annealing temperature ... -
Electrochemistry of CuxSi1−x Alloys in Li Cells
Obrovac, MN; Du, Zhijia; Liu, Hui; Ellis, S. N.; Dunlap, R. A.; Zhu, M. (The Electrochemical Society, 2016-04-20)The structure and electrochemistry in lithium cells of sputtered thin films and ball milled alloys in the Cu-Si system (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.60 in CuxSi1−x) were investigated. Both thin films and ball milled Cu-Si alloys showed the ... -
