Neutron scattering investigation of Lithium diffusion mechanism in the Li-ion...
The compound LixCoO2 has attracted lots of attention in the recent years because of its application as cathodes in Li-ion batteries. The diffusion pathway of Li- ions within a... -
Li diffusion in Li-Mn-O (continuation)
This proposal describes a continuation muSR experiment on Li-Mn-oxides to see Li diffusion, because muSR is a powerful technique to detect it in the compounds containing... -
Na order and diffusion in NaxCoO2: Part II
Recently there have been reports that high-temperature sodium order and dynamics in NaxCoO2 (NCO) can strongly influence both the electronic & magnetic properties at low... -
Diffusive behavior in battery materials under electric field
Lithium diffusion in magnetic materials is found to be well detected by muon-spin spectroscopy. However, such a diffusive behavior has been measured without potential gradient,... -
In-situ neutron diffraction studies of LiCoO2 cathode material for Li-ion bat...
LiCoO2 as cathode for Li-ion batteries suffers from a large capacity fading after extended cycling. The ordered structure (Li+ and Co3+ atoms occupy alternate (111) layers of... -
In situ diffraction studies of cathode materials for Li ion batteries
Li-ion batteries are interesting because they offer high power and, as a consequence, they are preferred to aqueous-based batteries for traction applications e.g. hybrid... -
Phase behaviour of nano-sized ion-inserted compounds
Insertion reactions are of key importance for Li-ion and Hydrogen storage materials and energy storage devices. Nano-sizing the electrode materials has emerged as a promising...
