Engineering nanostructured anodes via electrostatic spray deposition for high performance lithium ion battery application

Oxygen-containing Functional Groups Enhancing Electrochemical Performance of Porous Reduced Graphene Oxide Cathode in Lithium Ion Batteries

“…With the decrease of the use of fossil fuels as well as the increasing demand for clean energy in the twenty-first century, Liion batteries (LIBs), due to their characteristics of high-energy density, high working potentials, and long cycle life, etc [1,2], have been proved to be one of the most advanced battery technology [3]. The current LIB technology highly depends on the use of lithium transition metal oxides or phosphates (e.g., LiCoO 2 , LiNi x Mn y Co 1-xy O 2 or LiFePO 4 ) as cathodes with the high redox potentials [4], but these cathode materials show very limited energy capacities.…”

Prospective improvements in cost and cycle life of off-grid lithium-ion battery packs: An analysis informed by expert elicitations

“…Some experts anticipated that new manufacturing methods, such as spray coating of anodes (Li and Wang, 2013) or structured electrodes (Green et al, 2003), could have an impact on costs. However, other experts expected that it would be challenging to realise a significantly different manufacturing technique in a commercial device by 2020.…”

“…LiBs remain subject to much academic and industrial research at a fundamental chemistry level directed towards the development of new materials at a laboratory scale (Brandon et al, 2016;Cluzel and Douglas, 2012;Crabtree et al, 2015), new processing techniques (Green et al, 2003;Li and Wang, 2013), and better understanding of behaviour and degradation (Grolleau et al, 2014;Hunt et al, 2016;Idaho National Laboratory, 2015;Wang et al, 2011). Intergovernmental programmes (Breakthrough Energy Coalition, 2015) and previous elicitation studies (Anadon et al, 2016;Anadón et al, 2012;Baker et al, 2015Baker et al, , 2010Bosetti et al, 2012;Catenacci et al, 2013;Fiorese et al, 2014;Nemet and Baker, 2009) appear to imply that increased research and development (R&D) funding is the most effective way to reduce cost and improve performance of low-carbon energy technology to accelerate changes to our energy system to meet climate goals such as those in the Paris Agreement (Fawcett et al, 2015;Gambhir et al, 2015;United Nations Framework on Climate Change, 2015).…”

Nanostructured Electrodes Via Electrostatic Spray Deposition for Energy Storage System

“…High DC voltage is applied between the needle and the substrate, which can be heated to a desired temperature. The detailed ESD process has been studied and discussed in other works [18][19][20][21]. In brief, the precursor solution is atomized into the aerosol by high electric field and is attracted to the heated substrate by electric field.…”
