Mesocarbon Microbeads (MCMB) Graphite Micron Powder for Lithium Ion Battery

Lithium ion batteries has a lot of interest especially in recent years due to their superior properties like high energy densities, long cycle lives, and being friendly with environment. Lithium ion batteries are important power sources for electronic products, like cellular phones and laptop computers.
In lithium ion batteries carbon materials are generally used as anode materials because of their small surface change, structural stability during cycling and high energy density.
One of the carbon materials that is used in lithium ion batteries as anode material is mesocarbon microbeads. Mesocarbon Microbeads (MCMB) Graphite Micron Powder for Lithium Ion Battery are special kind of carbonaceous materials. Mesocarbon microbeads generally have spherical shape with the diameter of 1-50 µm and when mesocarbon microbeads are used as anode materials in lithium ion batteries, they can provide a reversible capacity of 300-340mAh/g and excellent cyclability which is a big advantage for the applications where high capacity is needed.
Another advantage of mesocarbon microbeads is that they can be in combination with silicon to have higher capacities and rechargeability. It is a fact that mesocarbon microbeads anode materials have the best cyclability among all the types of carbon anode materials. When we combine mesocarbon microbeads with silicon to obtain an anode material, we can obtain Silicon - mesocarbon microbeads composite material with high capacity and satisfactory rechargeability. So it is possible to extend the number of charging cycle of lithium ion battery by using silicon - mesocarbon microbeads composite anode material.

Rundown about Silicon Oxide Wafer

The main insulating material used in micro-technology is Silicon Dioxide, which in chemical symbols is written as SiO2. In semiconductor technology, SiO2 thin film layers are mainly used as dielectric material film in transistors, capacitors (DRAM) or flash-memories. Silicon Oxide Wafers are produced using crystallization, solid state and other ultra-high purification processes such as sublimation. This process forms a cylindrical ingot, which is then sliced and polished to form wafers. Thermal oxide is a kind of "grown" oxide layer, compared to CVD deposited oxide layer, it has a higher uniformity, and higher dielectric strength, it is an excellent dielectric layer as an insulator . In most silicon- based devices, thermal oxide layer play an important role to pacify the silicon surface to act as doping barriers and as surface dielectrics. The simplest way to produce an insulating silicon oxide layers (SiO2) on silicon wafers is to oxidize silicon with oxygen, which ...

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...
