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.

Boron Carbide Nanoparticles and Their Applications

Boron carbide  which has the chemical formula of B 4 C is one of the hardest materials among the ceramics materials after diamond and boron nitride. In addition to its hardness, it has high thermal stability, low density, chemical inertness and neutron capture property. At temperature above 1200  o C, its hardness exceeds that of the diamond. Thus, it is a crucial material for high technology applications such as abrasive for polishing and grinding media, ceramic amour applications for personal purpose and equipment, blasting nozzles, ceramic bearings, semiconductor applications for dielectric barriers, medical and nuclear applications. B4C (Boron Carbide) Nanoparticles (99.5+%, 40-60nm, Hexagonal)  show an outstanding hardness among the ceramic materials. Therefore, boron carbide nanoparticles are a suitable material for many high performance applications. Boron carbide nanoparticles can be used as polishing, lapping and grinding material for hard mater...
