Structural and Thermal Stabilities of LixCoO2 cathode for LIB studied by a temperature programmed reduction (TPR).

Abstract

In recent years, research and development of battery technology has primarily been focused on the lithium-ion batteries (LIB) due to the high specific energy density, and therefore are widely utilized as the energy source for portable electronics and electric vehicles. However, the battery safety is an essential issue to overcome, as the battery are required higher power density and larger capacity. Many efforts have been conducted to improve the safety of LIB in the active material processing, as well as the cell battery manufacturing and management technology
