Nanomaterials in Li-Ion Battery Electrode Design

  • Chapter
Modern Aspects of Electrochemistry No. 40

Part of the book series: Modern Aspects of Electrochemistry ((MAOE,volume 40))

Abstract

Li-ion batteries have generated great interest as lightweight, portable, rechargeable power sources over the last decade. Their introduction in 1990 by T. Nagaura and K. Tozawa of SonyTec Inc. fueled the explosion of personal electronic devices.1 Li-ion batteries are now the power source of choice for laptops, cell phones, and digital cameras. The public has quickly embraced this technology, which accounts for an approximately $3 billion annual market.2 Despite (or perhaps as a result of) the commercial success of these batteries, a global research initiative exists to improve the existing design. The goal of which is to apply this technology to more demanding and exotic uses, such as the electric component of hybrid vehicles, low-temperature applications, and power supplies for MEMs. However, the current design cannot adequately satisfy the power requirements of such systems, due to the inability to deliver a sufficient quantity of charge at high discharge currents.3 This chapter will detail the efforts of laboratories, ours in particular, to incorporate the field of nanomaterials to improve upon Li-ion batteries.
