Project goal: The project goal is to synthesize nanocomposite 3D thin film electrodes for high performance lithium-ion batteries.
Project description: In this project we synthesize nanocomposite α-Fe2O3-NiO-Ni2N, α-Fe2O3-ZnO-Zn2N and α-Fe2O3-SnO2-SnN thin film electrodes by RF magnetron sputtering technique on in-plane type 3D current collectors. The synergetic effect between α-Fe2O3, NiO/ZnO/SnO2 and Ni2N/Zn2N/SnN is expected which may lead to development of a new way to enhanced cycling stability and rate capability
Expected results: The expected scientific outcomes include establishing developing new thin film electrodes with improved electrochemical performance and a long cycle life, creating the theoretical underpinnings of composite materials in electrochemistry as well as study the dependensies of the electrochemical performances of 3D microbatteries with the parameters of synhesis of the thin film anodes. Publication of the articles according to the requirements.
Methodology: The widely accepted scientific methods are used for the project implementation, such as electroforetic deposition, scanning electron microscopy, raman spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, galvanostatic cycling, cyclic voltammetry, etc.
