Lithium Manganese Oxide ( LiMn2O4 ) Powder for Li-ion Battery Cathode Applications

One of the components that can be used as cathode materials in lithium ion batteries is lithium manganese oxide. Lithium Manganese Oxide ( LiMn2O4 ) Powder for Li-ion Battery Cathode Application provide a low cost and it is an environmental friendly cathode material.
In lithium ion batteries manganese is one of the most common transition metals used because of having multiple oxidation states, which leads the possibility to intercalate more than one lithium atom, and obtaining a wide potential range between depending on the crystal structure and the chemical composition. Being not toxic and highly available makes manganese a good material can be used in lithium ion batteries.
Manganese may have oxidation states of 2+, 3+ and 4+. With different oxidation states of manganese it is possible to obtain different geometries that can be used in lithium ion batteries. Depending on the geometry around the central metal ion and its oxidation state, the manganese gives the possibility to exploit a higher number of redox couples which are not possible to be exploited with other transition metal elements. This situation is extremely important for the design of new materials for Li-ion batteries.
But manganese-based cathode materials may have a problem related to their stability because of Mn2+ dissolution in the electrolyte and the Jahn-Teller effect of the Mn3+ ion which limits their cycle life. Of course scientist have worked on this problem and they have found some solutions. These solution include doping or surface coating. Another aspect for this situation is to develop composite electrodes using structurally integrated layered Li2MnO3 and spinel LiMn2O4. The combination of these two structures provides increased structural stability during electrochemical cycling while achieving higher capacity and rate-capability.

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.

Hydroxyapatite Nanopowders and Their Applications

Hydroxyapatite, is a naturally occurring mineral form of calcium apatite with the formula Ca 5 (PO 4 ) 3 (OH). Pure hydroxyapatite powder is white. Naturally occurring apatites can, however, also have brown, yellow, or green colorations, comparable to the discolorations of dental fluorosis. Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder/Nanoparticles (50 nm, 99.95+%)  has been widely used as a biocompatible ceramic in many areas of medicine, but mainly for contact with bone tissue, due to its resemblance to mineral bone. In mammals, the skeleton presents a carbonated and partially substituted apatite, based on nanocrystal aggregates, and associated with collagen, building up 3-D structures present in various bone tissue conformations like trabecular or cancellous bone. There has been growing interest in developing bioactive synthetic ceramics that could closely mimic natural apatite characteristics. As mentioned before,  Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder  is the main inorganic constituent of bon...
