The synthesis and characterisation of high performance electrode materials for Li-ion batteries

Thesis

With the worlds demand for electricity constantly growing, energy storage technologies, and lithium-ion batteries in particular, are becoming increasingly important. One of the most significant issues concerning Li-ion batteries is that of safety. Graphite is the most commonly used anode material, however, due to its very low operating voltage vs Li⁺/Li⁰, reactive lithium can plate on the electrode surface, this is especially an issue for large batteries for use in el...
