Lithium Titanate Sputtering Targets and Applications

Lithium titanate is a compound containing lithium and titanium. Lithium titanate is an off-white powder at room temperature and has the chemical formula Li2TiO3.
Lithium titanate sputtering target is used as an additive in porcelain enamels and ceramic insulating bodies based on titanates. Lithium titanate is frequently utilized as a flux due to its good stability. In recent years, along with other Lithium ceramics are tried in nuclear fusion applications. Lithium titanate is also the anode component of the fast recharging lithium-titanate battery.
Now let's see how lithium titanate sputtering targets can be used as anode material for high-rate lithium-ion batteries.
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are attractive energy storage systems due to having high energy and power storage density, and long cycle life. In the last few decades, lithium-ion batteries have also been considered as appealing alternatives for use in clean energy systems, such as electric and hybrid electric vehicles.
Recently, lithium titanate has attracted attention in lithium-ion batteries anode material research. One of the reasons of it, lithium titanate has a high operating potential which is safely away from the reduction potentials of conventional electrolytes and lithium electroplating potential and the other reason is that lithium titanate faces almost no volume expansion during cycling, which increases its cyclic stability and Li+ ion mobility. Also lithium titanate provides a solid–electrolyte interface (SEI) free electrode surface and this property makes it more resistant to high-power applications, such as electric vehicles.

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...

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...

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.
