The phase evolution of Li-rich Li-Mn-Ni-(Al)-O cathode materials upon heat treatments in the air at 900 °C was studied by X-ray and neutron powder diffraction. In addition, the structures of LiMnAl NiO, x = 0.0, 0.

Three different profiles were contacted in the companies (General Manager, Information Technology Manager and Purchasing Manager). A data collection process through a questionnaire survey was conducted, 132 informants participated in the study, however, 28 of them reported they were not using an ERP in their company.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFLithium-rich, cobalt-free oxides are promising potential positive electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries because of their high energy density, lower cost, and reduced environmental and ethical concerns. However, their commercial breakthrough is hindered because of their subpar electrochemical stability. This work studies the effect of aluminum doping on LiNiMnO as a lithium-rich, cobalt-free layered oxide.

The challenge is to model local correlations between droplet numbers, sizes, and supersaturation, which determine supersaturation fluctuations along droplet paths (Lagrangian fluctuations). We derived a statistical model that accounts for these correlations.
