Nanostructured Electrode Materials for Batteries

Aegis Technology has successfully developed a cost-effective process to synthesize high-performance nanocomposites for use in the next generation of anodes and cathodes for Li-ion batteries.  These new nanocomposites provide higher energy densities, higher capacities, better stability, lower costs, and lower toxicity compared with conventional materials used in today’s Li-ion batteries.   The materials include lithium cobalt phosphate (LiCoPO₄), lithium cobalt manganese phosphate (LCMP), lithium cobalt nickel phosphate (LCNP), and lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄).

Nanopowders used as battery electrode materials:
(a)  LiCoPO₄ (LCP)
(b)  LiCo_(0.9)Mn_(0.1)PO₄ (LCMP)
(c)  LiCo_(0.9)Ni_(0.1)PO₄(LCNP)
(d)  LiFePO₄ (LFP)
