Abstract:
A composite material for a lithium ion battery anode and a method of producing the same is disclosed, wherein the composite material comprises a porous electrode composite material. Pores with carbon-based material forming at the pore wall are created in situ. The porous electrode composite material provide space to accommodate volumetric changes during battery charging and discharging while the carbon-based material improved the conductivity of the electrode composite material. The method creates pores to have a denser carbon content inside the pores and a wider mouth of the pores to enhance lithium ion distribution.
Abstract:
Systems and methods in which a thermal conductive composite comprises a non-uniform heat absorption profile of a thermal reactive material are described. Thermal conductive composites herein may be utilized in thermal regulatory modules with a gradient structure configured to transfer heat energy away from an area near a heat source to an area with a relatively large latent heat absorbing capacity. Thermal conductive material may be provided in a frame structure having lower porosity in a first region more near a heat source and higher porosity in a second region more distant from the heat source. A thermal reactive material may be deposited so as to be disposed within the pores of the thermal conductive material frame structure wherein the density of the thermal reactive material in the first region of the thermal conductive composite is lower than that at the second region of the thermal conductive composite.
Abstract:
A composite material for a battery electrode and a method of producing thereof have been disclosed. In particular, the composite material is used as a cathode for lithium ion batteries. The cathode material is a lithium-rich cathode material with high specific capacity, high capacity retention rate and high lithium ion diffusion. The cathode material is made by a plurality of clusters, in which each of the clusters comprises metallic nano-platelets arranged in a stratified array.
