Lithium Cobalt Oxide Sputtering Targets and Applications


Lithium Cobalt Oxide (LiCoO2) Sputtering Targets (Size:2'' ,Thickness:0.125'' , Purity: 99.9%), sometimes called lithium cobaltate or lithium cobaltite, is a chemical compound with formula LiCoO2. Lithium cobalt oxide is a dark blue or bluish-gray crystalline solid, and is commonly used in the positive electrodes of lithium-ion batteries.
Lithium ion batteries have found utility in various applications, including automobiles, such as hybrid and electric vehicles. The emergence of lithium (Li) ion batteries can be attributed to several of its bulk properties, including high power density, low self-discharge rate and favorable charge-discharge cycle performance. The bulk properties affect the battery capacity and use life. Key variables which can affect the performance of the bulk properties include Li-ion diffusivity. As a result, Li-ion battery development has primarily focused on Li-containing materials having suitable Li-ion diffusivity. One of the material of interest is lithium cobalt oxide. Lithium Cobalt Oxide (LiCoO2) Sputtering Targets has been determined to exhibit superior Li-ion diffusivity. As a result, lithium cobalt oxide has emerged as the preferred precursor material for new lithium bulk battery applications within the electronics industry.
The suitability of lithium cobalt oxide for use in battery technology also extends to thin film lithium battery applications. The required thin film lithium can be generally deposited by conventional sputtering target techniques, whereby Lithium Cobalt Oxide (LiCoO2) Sputtering Targets assembly, defined as the lithium cobalt oxide sputtering target bonded to a backing plate, can be used to deposit the required thin film lithium. With regards to sputtering targets to produce Li thin films, a D.C. (direct current) magnetron sputter system can be employed.

Carbon Nanotube Threads

Since its discovery, carbon nanotube (CNT) has attracted many interests in different technology fields due to its extraordinary properties. Properties such as, high strength, great electrical and thermal conductivity, light weight and flexibility made CNT one of the best materials for wide range of applications. However, from its name it can be understood that CNT is a nanoscale material which is very small to be applied for the production of daily products. Researchers all around the world are working on finding methods and techniques which could produce new materials with the extraordinary properties of CNT. Image retrieved from:  https://worldindustrialreporter.com/strong-light-flexible-carbon-nanotubes-threads-with-ultrahigh-conductivity/ One of these research is focusing on the production of high strength threads that can be used in the manufacturing of fabrics, cables and ropes. An international group of scientists were able to produce a flexible conductive thread th...

Multi Walled Carbon Nanotube Dispersions

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs)  have attracted enormous attention in recent years due to its unique physical, electronic, optical and potential applications in materials science and nanotechnology. The van der Waals interaction between tubes, however, makes CNTs aggregate in most organic solvents and aqueous solutions, which is the major limitation of their practical applications.Various approaches have been studied to alter the CNT surface to promote the dispersion of individual nanotubes and prevent their reaggregation. On the basis of this widely accepted viewpoint, numerous techniques such as covalent bonding, surfactant coating and polymer wrapping have been developed for surface modification or sidewall functionalization.These methods, however, are complicated, time-consuming and cause permanent damage to the CNT structure and properties of the surface, which produces residues of the dispersion agent for the final product. Figure: Single Walled Carbon Nanotube (SWCNT) It ha...
