Correlation of aluminum doping and lithiation temperature with electrochemical performance of LiNi1-xAlxO2 cathode material
2022
Abstract This article presents a process for producing LiNi1-xAlxO2 (0 < × < 0.05) cathode material with high capacity and enhanced cycle properties of 145 mAh/g after 600 cycles. The LiNi1-xAlxO2 (0 < × < 0.05) cathode material is prepared by mixing coprecipitated Ni(OH)2 with LiOH and Al(OH)3, followed by lithiation at temperature range of 650–710 °C, after which any residual lithium from lithiation is washed from the particle surfaces. Electrochemical performance was studied within full-cell and half-cell application; in addition, different material characterization methods were carried out to explain structure changes when certain amount of aluminum is introduced in the …

2019
The presented study has been financed via the Latvian Science Council Grant No. 2018/2-0083. The author is grateful to Professors M. R. Philpott, G. Ceder and G. Borstel for many stimulating discussions during his work at Singapore. We performed all our ab initio calculations at North German Parallel Computer Center located at Hannover (HLRN).
The PLVC display color characterization model revisited
2008
This work proposes a study of the Piecewise Linear assuming Variation in Chromaticity (PLVC) dis- play color characterization model. This model has not been widely used as the improved accuracy compared with the more common PLCC (Piecewise Linear assuming Chromaticity Constancy) model is not significant for CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) display technology, and it requires more computing power than this model. With today's computers, computational complexity is less of a problem, and today's display technologies show a different colori- metric behavior than CRTs. The main contribution of this work is to generalize the PLVC model to multiprimary displays and to provide extensive experimental results…
Energy and environmental assessment of a traction lithium-ion battery pack for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles
2019
Abstract Traction batteries are a key factor in the environmental sustainability of electric mobility and, therefore, it is necessary to evaluate their environmental performance to allow a comprehensive sustainability assessment of electric mobility. This article presents an environmental assessment of a lithium-ion traction battery for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, characterized by a composite cathode material of lithium manganese oxide (LiMn2O4) and lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide Li(NixCoyMn1-x-y)O2. Composite cathode material is an emerging technology that promises to combine the merits of several active materials into a hybrid electrode to optimize performance and reduce cost…

XRD and micro Raman characterization of epitaxial Bi-2201, Bi-2212 and Bi-2223 thin films
1997
Copyright (c) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. Micro Raman characterization is performed on high quality thin films of Bi 2 Sr 2 CuO 6+x (2201), Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8+x (2212), Bi 2 Sr 2 Ca 2 Cu 3 O 10+x (2223) made by dc-sputtering. Single crystal X-ray measurements reveal the full epitaxy of the films, which allows for polarized Raman spectra to be obtained.
Barium depletion study on impregnated cathodes and lifetime prediction
2003
In the thermionic cathodes used in cathode ray-tubes (CRTs), barium is the key element for the electronic emission. In the case of the dispenser cathodes made of a porous tungsten pellet impregnated with Ba, Ca aluminates, the evaporation of Ba determines the cathode lifetime with respect to emission performance in the CRT. The Ba evaporation results in progressive depletion of the impregnating material inside the pellet. In the present work, the Ba depletion with time has been extensively characterized over a large range of cathode temperature. Calculations using the depletion data allowed modeling of the depletion as a function of key parameters. The link between measured depletion and em…
(La0.8Sr0.2)(Mn1−yFey)O3±δ oxides for ITSOFC cathode materials?
2005
The oxygen transport properties in (La 0.8 Sr 0.2 )(Mn 1-y Fe y )O 3±δ (LSMF) with various iron contents y = 0, 0.2, 0.5, 0.8 and 1 were determined by the IEDP technique. Both oxygen diffusion and surface exchange coefficients were found to be greater for y = 0.8 and 1 than those of LSM (y=0). Moreover, for y ≤0.5, grain boundary diffusion was the rate limiting step especially at lower temperatures. Thus, in the LSMF perovskite materials, the oxygen diffusion via oxygen vacancies is enhanced by Fe. The LSMF electrical performances were measured by impedance spectroscopy. Compared to LSM and LSF (y= 1), porous LSMF cathodes with y= 0.2-0.8 exhibit poor electronic conductivity: Fe, by reducin…
Abatement of 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane in water by reduction at silver cathode and oxidation at boron doped diamond anode in micro reactors
2012
The treatment of aqueous solutions of 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane was performed by anodic oxidation at boron doped diamond (BDD), cathodic reduction at silver and coupled processes. Experiments were performed in macro and micro reactors with an interelectrode distance lower than 100. μm. Drastically higher abatements of the chlorinated compound and current efficiencies were obtained in microdevices that, furthermore, allowed to perform the electrolyses with low cell voltages in the absence of supporting electrolyte. When reduction and oxidation processes were carried out simultaneously in the microreactor, a higher abatement of pollutants was obtained with the same amount of the passed charge…
Design of highly efficient porous carbon foam cathode for electro-Fenton degradation of antimicrobial sulfanilamide
2021
Abstract This work investigated, for the first time, the potential of novel biomass derived carbon foam as a suitable and efficient electrocatalytic material (as cathode) for in-situ hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production and its applicability in electro-Fenton (EF) approach for oxidizing organic pollutants. The carbon foam cathode was prepared by polymerization and carbonization of sucrose at high temperature. The as-prepared carbon foam consists of highly porous and extremely light structure with interconnected spherical cells. It exhibited excellent electrocatalytic properties such as high conductivity, relatively high redox current and several active-sites for producing oxidizing species, …
