摘要:
A nickel hydroxide positive electrode active material which can be made by an ultrasonic precipitation method. The nickel hydroxide active material is characterized by the ability to reversibly cycle between the beta and gamma nickel hydroxide crystalline phases during electrochemical charge and discharge. The material may also be characterized by a high degree of local ordering of the hydroxyl ions.

摘要:
An improved chemical vapor deposition method for the high-rate low-temperature deposition of high-quality thin film material. The method includes the steps of providing an evacuated chamber having a plasma deposition region defined therein; placing a substrate (24) inside the chamber; supplying plasma deposition precursor gases to the deposition region in the evacuated chamber; directing microwave energy from a source (4) thereof to the deposition region, the microwave energy interacting with the deposition precursor gases to form a plasma of electrons, ions and activated electrically neutral species, the plasma including one or more depositing species; increasing the surface mobility of the depositing species in the plasma by coupling additional non-microwave electronic energy and magnetic energy into the plasma, without intentionally adding thermal energy to the substrate (24) or precursor gas; and depositing a thin film of material onto the substrate (24).
