001.03 Nanostructures for Li-ion Batteries: Electrochemical Experiments in Li-ion Batteries - Jun. 2010

SAND Number: SAND2010-4340P Presenter(s): Hitomo Mukaibo Hitomo Mukaibo from the University of Florida gives an up-to-date review of the issues and challenges facing Li-ion battery research with special focus on how nanostructures / nanotechnology are being applied to this field. Novel materials reported as prospective candidates for anode, cathode and electrolyte will be summarized. The expected role of nanostructures in improving the performance of Li-ion batteries and the actual pros and cons of using such structures in this device will be addressed. Electrochemical experiments used to study Li-ion batteries will also be discussed. This includes the introduction to the standard experimental set-up and how experimental data (from charge-discharge experiments, cyclic voltammetry, impedance spectroscopy, etc) are interpreted.
