Lithium Cobalt Oxide Micron Powder for Li-ion Battery Cathode Application

Lithium cobalt oxide is a chemical compound with the chemical formula of 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.
As all we may know lithium ion batteries are used in household electronics like mobile phones and laptop and these batteries are considered as the most promising energy storage and conversion device candidates for use in future electric vehicle applications because of having very high energy density.
In lithium ion batteries lithium cobalt oxide is one of the earliest founded lithium metal oxides used as cathode materials. The usage of lithium cobalt oxide started with the studies of Sony. Sony combined the lithium cobalt oxide cathode with a carbon anode and made the first successful lithium ion battery. It was a visionary study because this kind of battery now dominates the lithium battery market. Lithium cobalt oxide is preferred to use as cathode material in lithium ion batteries for its good performance and stability.
The studies on the usage of Lithium Cobalt Oxide Micron Powder for Li-ion Battery Cathode Application are still continued. Until now lithium cobalt oxide has been the subject of literally thousands of papers. Some studies are about the improvements in capacity and recharge ability of lithium cobalt oxide. One of the studies related to this field states that the capacity of lithium ion batteries where lithium cobalt oxide is used as cathode material could be improved by coating a metal oxide or phosphate on the surface of the lithium cobalt oxide particles.

Rundown about Silicon Oxide Wafer

The main insulating material used in micro-technology is Silicon Dioxide, which in chemical symbols is written as SiO2. In semiconductor technology, SiO2 thin film layers are mainly used as dielectric material film in transistors, capacitors (DRAM) or flash-memories. Silicon Oxide Wafers are produced using crystallization, solid state and other ultra-high purification processes such as sublimation. This process forms a cylindrical ingot, which is then sliced and polished to form wafers. Thermal oxide is a kind of "grown" oxide layer, compared to CVD deposited oxide layer, it has a higher uniformity, and higher dielectric strength, it is an excellent dielectric layer as an insulator . In most silicon- based devices, thermal oxide layer play an important role to pacify the silicon surface to act as doping barriers and as surface dielectrics. The simplest way to produce an insulating silicon oxide layers (SiO2) on silicon wafers is to oxidize silicon with oxygen, which ...

New Way of Deaf-Mute Communication with 3D Graphene

Image retrieved from: http://blogs.rsc.org/cc/2016/09/01/3d-graphene-adds-dimension-to-deaf%E2%80%93mute-communication/ Chinese scientists have developed wearable electronic device with conductive 3D graphene structure to translate sign language into written text. This technology can be applied by injecting graphene ink from a syringe under printed electronic field. For medical field, such as adhesive patches which determine heart, brain signal and neural activity, wearable and bio-integrated medical devices are very important. Due to noticeable properties of cast graphene, for example a 2D honeycomb lattice, excellent mechanical and electrical behaviors, Graphene has an important material in warble technology. However, it is difficult to preserve advantages of Graphene material in a 3D material which has an information about forces from every angle. Yanlin Song  and co-workers at the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, and Shenyang Jianzhu University...
