Rechargeable Nonaqueous Batteries

Abstract

In this article the authors discuss the role of lithium systems.

Electrochemically Active Polymers for Rechargeable Batteries

“…Such systems have been called shuttlecock, rocking-chair, swing, or simply lithium ion batteries . Here only the electrodes, not the electrolyte, function as the ion reservoir, thus high specific energies/energy densities can be achieved on principle, and commercial development is under way. ,− …”

“…322 Here only the electrodes, not the electrolyte, function as the ion reservoir, thus high specific energies/energy densities can be achieved on principle, and commercial development is under way. 153,[322][323][324][325] Anodes (negative electrodes) for lithium ion batteries can basically be realized, not only with the lithium ion-inserting carbon materials and with truly Li + -doped conducting polymers but also with p-doped conducting polymers, when the latter are prepared with a large, immobile dopant anion. The most frequent example described in the past was polypyrrole poly(styrenesulfonate).…”

Electrochemistry for a cleaner environment

“…Rechargeable lithium batteries represent a further improvement for these applications, both with respect to energy density and environmental impact. 22 In the electrolytic industries the losses of mercury from the mercury process for production of chlor-alkali have been reduced significantly during the last few decades, but new processes of this type will generally not be allowed in Western countries. Diaphragm processes are not a viable alternative, since the the state-of-the-art diaphragms are made from asbestos, which is a health hazard.…”

Copper-Intercalated TiS2: Electrode Materials for Rechargeable Batteries as Future Power Resources

“…The latter is generally an open-structured compound capable of accepting and releasing Cu ions into and out of its crystal lattice. Typical examples are transition metal dichalcogenides . The group IVB, VB, and VIB transition metal disulfides have a rather unusual two-dimensional layer structure which can intercalate atoms rapidly and reversibly. , …”
