Advanced Materials for Lithium Batteries
(2020-04-24)Advanced lithium battery materials promise some combination of higher energy density, lower cost, longer lifetime, and faster charging rates compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries. This work studies lithium-metal ... -
Alloy Anode Materials for Sodium-Ion Batteries
(2014-07-25)Sodium-ion batteries could one day be an inexpensive alternative to lithium-ion batteries. Many challenges need to be overcome before commercialization of a sodium-ion battery can take place. One of these challenges is the ... -
Combinatorial Studies of Fe-Zn and Fe-Si-Zn Alloy Negative Electrodes for Li-ion Batteries
(2014-09-03)In this work Fe-Zn and Fe-Si-Zn alloy systems were studied for use as negative electrodes in Li-ion batteries. The aim was to understand the electrochemistry of these alloy systems and observe if the addition of Fe and ... -
Investigating Disordered Positive Electrode Materials for Lithium-Ion Batteries Using Li(1+x)Ti2xFe(1-3x)O2
(2015)Typical positive electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries have ordered structures, containing well defined lithium percolation networks through the entire structure. Another type of structure which has until recently ... -
Modelling Energy Storage for Demand Charge Mitigation in Commercial Buildings to Develop Standardized Design Guidelines
(2021-09-13)In parallel to growing building electrification initiatives, the cost of lithium-ion batteries has fallen by over 85% since 2010. These factors have driven interest in using lithium-ion batteries to reduce demand charges ... -
PROBING CHANGES IN THE SOLID ELECTROLYTE INTERPHASE IN LI-ION CELLS
(2019-12-18)In Li-ion cells, a passivating film called the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) develops at the interface between the electrolyte and the electrode particles. The SEI is essential to the functionality of the cell, but ...
