Scope and significance of transition metal oxide nanomaterials for next-generation Li-ion batteries

Abstract

Nanomaterials are the wonder materials in many distinguished fields, yet their research in mainstream Lithium-ion batteries is at rudimentary stages. Polyanion-based cathode materials use nanostructuring to enhance their performance throughput,...

Current Status and Prospects of Research on Cathode Materials for Lithium-Based Thermal Batteries

“…The unique superiority of hydrothermal methods to prepare metal oxide materials is the precise control over the morphology, structure, composition, and dispersion of the final product. 22 Hydrothermal methods can be devided into different categories according to their different synthesis mechanisms, including hydrothermal crystal growth used for the preparation of fine crystals, hydrothermal stabilization of structures, etc. 23 Highly dispersed particles of predetermined size and narrow size distribution are essential for metal oxide synthesis in thermal battery applications.…”

“…Unlike the sol–gel method, where the materials result from the decomposition of the gel, the hydrothermal method produces metal oxide materials through recrystallizing crystals in a sealed autoclave. The unique superiority of hydrothermal methods to prepare metal oxide materials is the precise control over the morphology, structure, composition, and dispersion of the final product . Hydrothermal methods can be devided into different categories according to their different synthesis mechanisms, including hydrothermal crystal growth used for the preparation of fine crystals, hydrothermal stabilization of structures, etc .…”
