Anode Material for Lithium-Ion Batteries – Carbon coated iron oxide and zinc ferrite nanoparticles

Written by admin-innovation

The presented technology offers methods for the synthesis and preparation of carbon coated metal oxide nanoparticles for application as anodic materials in lithium-ion batteries. Carbon coated Fe2O3 and ZnFe2O4 can be used in combination with carboxymethyl-cellulose (CMC) as binder obtaining highly mechanically stable electrodes.

Commercial Opportunities: The use of these carbon coated metal oxide nanoparticles enables the realization of environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and lightweight electrochemical energy storage devices for future large scale applications. Transition metal oxides provide higher specific capacities compared to graphite, which is the actual state-of–the-art in Li-ion batteries. Nevertheless, the main drawback of these conversion materials so far has been a reduced cycling stability and limited obtainable specific capacities at elevated applied current densities. However, these drawbacks could be overcome by utilizing the new carbon coated metal oxide nanoparticles. As a matter of fact, by using these materials it is possible to realize batteries offering a superior electrochemical performance at high current densities and advanced cycle life. Moreover, such enhanced electrodes are easily recyclable and 100% environmentally friendly.
