Reverse Monte Carlo study of Silicon anode materials for Lithium-ion batteries
The performance of current commercial Li-ion batteries with graphite anodes is limited by the relatively small amount of lithium that can reversibly intercalate between the... -
Study of nano-electrode materials for Li-ion batteries combining small-angle ...
Nano-materials are of interest in the field of energy conversion and storage due to properties not seen for the bulk. However, due to their non-periodic nature, the atomic... -
Crystal Structures of Multiferroic MnWO4: HRPD
Multiferroic materials are rare and exceptional: they are ferroelectric and ferromagnetic in the same phase and these two properties can couple. Recently, materials with complex... -
Structural changes in LiMO2 anode materials
It was thought that oxides could not intercalate Li below 1.5V vs Li+/Li. We recently studied layered LiVO2, which intercalates Li at around 0.25V to form Li2VO2, making it an... -
