Graphite Powders as Anode Materials for Lithium Ion Batteries

The lithium ion batteries are interested nowadays because of their high capacity and being environmentally friendly. Lithium ion batteries are one of the most important power sources and they are widely used in laptop computers and mobile phones due to their high energy density. Lithium ion batteries are also effective for using in hybrid electric vehicle. Of course in this kind of applications large size of lithium batteries are used.
As all we may know lithium ion batteries are consist of two parts; cathode and anode. When we look at the researches about the anode part of lithium ion batteries, we can see that in this studies it is aimed to improve material capacity and cyclability.
To get better result for improving capacity and cyclability, graphite powders can be used in lithium ion batteries as anode materials. Graphite anodes provide efficiency, reversible capacity and cycle stability to lithium ion batteries when they are used as anode materials. Also it is possible to improve the properties of lithium ion batteries by using graphite powders with the higher graphitization degree, higher purity, more suitable particle size distribution.
So far so good, it is also possible to have more improved performance from graphite powders. If you treat graphite powder with oxidative solutions of hydrogen peroxide, cerium sulfate, nitric acid and ammonium persulfate, the electrochemical performance of lithium ion batteries will improve.
Cycle numbers of lithium ion batteries with graphite anode materials may be a problem sometimes but there is a solution for that. To improve the cycle numbers of these kinds of batteries, graphite powders may be coated by aluminum fluoride. The aluminum fluoride coating will not change the properties of graphite but there will be a significant increase in the capacity and cycle number in lithium ion battery.

Graphene Tyres and Graphene Brake Pads

Could Graphene Use Create A Distruptive Technology In Tyre Sector? Almost every day, we see new applications emerging from graphene. The fact is certain; graphene is a disruptive technology that holds huge potential for commercialization. Graphene has abilities to open new markets and even replace existing materials or material technologies. A brand new application of graphene came out which is producing graphene tyres and brake pads. https://www.canadacarbon.com/brake-linings-gasket... In 2016 GraphChina (Graphene Innovation Conference); Sentury and Huagao launched their first electrostatic conducting graphene tyre on September 22nd. 2-3 weeks before the conference Sentury and Huagao officially announced their cooperation on the product. During the press conference, Sentury’s engineers (which is branded with the Landsail moniker), revealed that the latest test data shows their graphene-enhanced tyre offers; 1.8 meters shorter stopping distances (6 % improvement on conv...

Characterization and potential uses of Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder/Nanoparticle

   Hydroxylapatite , also referred to as hydroxyapatite (HA), is a calcium apatite in its naturally occurring mineral form with the formula Ca5(PO4)3(OH). A fluorapatite or chlorapatite may be produced if the OH−ion is replaced by fluoride, chloride or carbonate. Hydroxylapatite crystallizes in the hexagonal crystal pattern. Pure hydroxylapatite powder is of white color. However, naturally occurring apatites can also have brown, yellow, or green hue, resembling the coloration of dental fluorosis. Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder/Nanoparticle (HApN) , nanodots or nanocrystals are spherical or faceted high surface area oxide magnetic nanostructured particles. Nanoscale Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder/Nanoparticle (HApN) are normally 20-80 nanometers (nm) with specific surface area (SSA) in the 15 - 50 m2/g range but sometimes available with an average particle size of 100 nm range with a specific surface area of approximately 5 - 10 m2/g. Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder/Nanoparticle (HApN...
