  • All-Dry Synthesis of Single Crystal NMC Cathode Materials for Li-Ion Batteries 

    Obrovac, MN; Zheng, Lituo; Craig Bennett, J. (The Electrochemical Society, 2020-10-08)
    Single crystal (SC) cathode materials with a layered structure are considered to be state-of-the-art for lithium ion batteries. However, their production involves many steps and can produce large amounts of wastewater. ...
  • 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 ...
  • Engineered Particle Synthesis by Dry Particle Microgranulation 

    Obrovac, MN; Zheng, Lituo; Garayt, M.D.L. (Elsevier Inc, 2020-04-14)
    Highlights * A method of making monodisperse engineered ∼10-μm particles is introduced * Core-shell, spherical, and tetrahedral particles demonstrated at ∼100% yield * Spherical layered oxides for Li-ion batteries ...
  • Honeycomb Compound Na3Ni2BiO6 as Positive Electrode Material in Na Cells 

    Obrovac, MN; Zheng, Lituo (The Electrochemical Society, 2016-08-31)
    Honeycomb compound Na3Ni2BiO6 was synthesized and studied as positive electrode material in sodium cells for the first time. This material exhibits a reversible capacity of ∼80 mAh/g and an average voltage of ∼3.1 V, ...
