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.

Usage of Silver Conductive Adhesive Paste in Corrosion Protection

In electronics, solders are main material to connect electrical components to substrates which are generally printed circuit boards. Although they are cheap, they are not effective if long term performance is considered since solders have low resistivity to corrosion relatively. Since corrosion reduce reliability, the cost of advanced technological systems such as RADAR, SONAR, LIDAR and more increase. In addition, small signals can be lost, and in huge data transfer, some of the data can be lost also especially which may lead catastrophic failures in critical systems. For instance, surface to air missiles can be launched to target which is not exist if the data coming from detection systems is noisy. Therefore, corrosion protection is necessary, and  silver conductive adhesive paste  is an essential candidate to replace PbSn solders due to its resistivity to corrosion. Silver conductive adhesive paste provide not only noisy reduction but also electromagnetic interference whi...

Titanium Carbide Powders and Applications

Titanium carbide which has the chemical formula of TiC attracted great interest for many structural applications due to its extremely high melting temperature, high hardness, high chemical resistance and good electrical conductivity. Therefore titanium carbide can be used in cutting tools, grinding wheels, wear-resistant coatings, high temperature heat exchangers, magnetic recording heads, turbine engine seals, and bullet-proof vests, etc. In addition, a promising field of application comprises plasma and flame spraying processes in air, where titanium carbide-based powders show high-phase stability. TiC(Titanium Carbide Powder) (325 mesh, 99,9+%)  can also be used in biomedical implant devices. Materials used for biomedical implant devices must satisfy a variety of property demands, which are often mutually exclusive. Further, different parts of a device demand different material properties. These factors often make it difficult to manufacture a medical device using a...

Difference between Anatase and Rutile Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) Nanoparticles

Titanium oxide  is the one of the top 50 chemicals which are produced in worldwide. It occurs in nature in three forms anatase, rutile and brookite. However, commonly, anatase and rutile forms have been used and studied. Naturally, it has whitish and opaque appearance, and through purification, it becomes whiter. Difference in crystal structure of these two forms as you can see in Figure 1 aroused interest in discrepancies between these forms, and many studies have been conducted. Figure 1: Crystalline structure of titanium dioxide anatase (a) and rutile (b) Ti and O atoms are represented in white and red respectively.                                                                                                P.
