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...

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 ...

Carbon Nanotubes Specifications and Properties Carbon Nanotubes, simply CNTs, are allotropes of carbon with a round and hollow nanostructure. These barrel shaped carbon molecules have crucial properties, which are significant for nanotechnology, hardware, optics and other different fields of materials science and innovation. The carbon nanotube’s excellent quality as a strong and firm material laid the basis on many applications. Not to mention carbon nanotubes exceptional heat conductivity, electrical and mechanical properties, Carbon Nanotubes are used as additives to diverse auxiliary materials. In terms of rigidity and flexibility Carbon Nanotubes are the stiffest and strongest materials. These quality outcomes from the covalent sp2 bonds framed between the individual carbon molecules. Unlike Graphene , Carbon Nanotubes are either conductive or semiconducting along the tubular hub. Carbon Nanotubes also have absorption, fluorescence properties. Bulk Carbon nanotubes are util...
