Lithium Niobate Sputtering Targets and Applications

Lithium Niobate (LiNbO3) Sputtering Targets (Size:1'' ,Thickness:0.250'' , Purity: 99.9%)  which has the chemical formula of LiNbO 3  is a compound of niobium, lithium, and oxygen. Its single crystals are an important material for optical waveguides, mobile phones, piezoelectric sensors, optical modulators and various other linear and non-linear optical applications. It is a human-made dielectric material that does not exist in nature. Lithium Niobate (LiNbO3) Sputtering Targets crystals were grown for the first time by the Chokhralsky method in 1965, and their structure was investigated by Abrahams in the series of works. Lithium niobate belongs to a R3c space group, where the oxygens are arranged in nearly hexagonal close-packed planar sheets.  One of the potential applications of  Lithium Niobate (LiNbO3) Sputtering Targets  as an elemental basis of electro-optical devices is high speed (>20 GHz) modulators. Thin lithium niobate films contrary to bulk...

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 Li 2 TiO 3 . 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 hy...

Lithium Cobalt Oxide Micron Powder for Li-ion Battery Cathode Application

Lithium cobalt oxide  is a chemical compound with the chemical formula of formula LiCoO 2 . Lithium cobalt oxide is a dark blue or bluish-gray crystalline solid and is commonly used in the positive electrodes of  lithium-ion batteries . As all we may know lithium ion batteries are used in household electronics like mobile phones and laptop and these batteries are considered as the most promising energy storage and conversion device candidates for use in future electric vehicle applications because of having very high energy density. In lithium ion batteries lithium cobalt oxide is one of the earliest founded lithium metal oxides used as  cathode materials . The usage of lithium cobalt oxide started with the studies of Sony. Sony combined the lithium cobalt oxide cathode with a carbon anode and made the first successful lithium ion battery. It was a visionary study because this kind of battery now dominates the lithium battery market. Lithium cobalt oxide is preferred...

Conductive Carbon Black for Lithium Ion Battery Applications

Nowadays there is a rapid development in lithium ion batteries because of their usage in electronics like mobile phones and electric vehicles. There are basically  anode  and  cathode  parts of lithium ion batteries and when we look at the cathode part we can see that it consists of particles of active material and inactive materials. For inactive materials we can give conductive additives as an example. Conductive additive plays a role in increasing in the electric conductivity. For conductive additives carbon black can be given as an example.  Conductive Carbon Black for Lithium Ion Battery Applications  optimizes the electrical conductivity of the positive electrode but is not involved in the electrochemical redox process in lithium ion battery. Actually the main duty of carbon black in lithium ion battery is to contribute to enhancing the cathode cyclability by filling the free spaces in between the particles of active material. So by this action t...

Nickel Tabs For Lithium Ion Battery Applications

Lithium ion batteries  becomes a very important technology for our daily life. They are widely used in mobile phones, laptops and electrical vehicles. In current lithium-ion battery manufacturing for automotive, different sizes and shapes of cells are being manufactured. The difference between electronic devices like mobile phones or laptops, automotive battery packs consists of a large number of battery cells, sometimes several hundreds to meet desired power and capacity needs. As a result, a significant amount of joining such as welding is needed to deliver electricity in a battery pack. It is not possible to say that it is easy to join all of these  battery cells . Also when we think of the harsh environment of an automobile expose like vibration, severe temperature, and possible crash, all of these can affect the performance of these batteries. The scientists shows a great effort to get better performance from lithium ion batteries in terms of cell material, design,...
