Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4 ) Micron Powder for Li-ion Battery Cathode Applications

The performance of lithium-ion batteries that we have started to use in electronics almost every day, depends on the properties of the materials that they are produced of. Generally the materials that are used for the production of lithium ion batteries are expensive to be produced and they offer limited energy storage possibility.
Thus, it is very important to develop new types of lithium ion batteries which should be simplified, efficient and environmentally friendly. For this purpose lithium iron phosphate which discovered in the late 1990s and is currently the most studied cathode material for lithium-ion batteries.
Lithium iron phosphate is a desirable cathode material due to its outstanding features, like low cost, superior thermal stability, enhanced safety, high theoretical specific capacity and suitable charge/discharge voltage plateau. Since there is a strong P-O covalent bond in lithium iron phosphate, it is thermodynamically and dynamically stable even at temperature above 200°C.
To get the best result in terms of electronic conductivity and cycle life from lithium iron phosphate cathode material there are some options that can be applied. For example carbon coating of lithium iron phosphate cathode can be shown as the most efficient method found up to now to do this. The electrochemical properties of the final lithium iron phosphate - carbon composites are strongly dependent on the quality of the carbon coating – its amount, morphology, degree of graphitization, and the distribution on the surface. By the coating of carbon on lithium iron phosphate cathode, you can end up with a cathode material with superior properties.

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...

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...

Carbon Nanotubes Doped with Graphene Nanopowder and Applications

Carbon nanotubes and graphene are different forms of carbon atom based materials. They have different properties and can be used in various applications. But what happens if we use them as a hybrid structure? The excellent mechanical, physical, and chemical properties of low-dimensional carbon materials like graphene and carbon nanotube have enabled them as promising building blocks for three-dimensional nanoarchitectures. In this regard, extensive interests have been attracted to synthesize graphene and carbon nanotube hybrid structures. Earlier works suggested that  Carbon Nanotubes Doped with Graphene Nanopowder (52 wt% Graphene )  is a promising solution for quick energy dissipation, which could enhance interface thermal conductivity of the ‘building blocks’ for future nanoscale mechanical and electrical devices. In the electricity perspective, it is found that ‘CNT pillared-graphene’ system would extend the excellent electrical conductivity of graphene and nanotube to ...
