Funded Activity Summary

Development of Nanocrystalline Transition Metal Oxide and Polymer-Transition Metal Oxide Composite Materials for Rechargeable Lithium Battery Applications. Recent work by the applicants has shown that nanocrystalline titanates and aluminates hold considerable promise as lithium battery electrodes. Nanocrystalline anatase materials showed considerably greater lithium intercalation ratios compared with their microcrystalline counterparts, and doping with vanadium showed further improvements in capacity. Sol-gel synthesised V-doped anatase materials produced an initial discharge capacity of 428 Ah/kg compared with only 280 mAh/kg for the undoped anatase electrode in the same Li test cell.In this project different dopants and preparation conditions will be investigated to produce nanocrystalline rutile and aluminate materials as potential candidates for high capacity lithium battery applications.
