A plasma-enhanced ALD process has been developed to deposit nickel phosphate. The process combines trimethylphosphate (TMP) plasma with oxygen plasma and nickelocene at a substrate temperature of 300 degrees C. Saturation at a growth per cycle of approximately 0.2 nm per cycle is observed for both the TMP plasma and nickelocene, while a continuous ...
Available evidence indicates that elevated blood ketones are associated with improved hypoxic tolerance in rodents. From this perspective, we hypothesized that exogenous ketosis by oral intake of the ketone ester (R)-3-hydroxybutyl (R)-3-hydroxybutyrate (KE) may induce beneficial physiological effects during prolonged exercise in acute hypoxia. As ...
Lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxides (NMCs) are promising cathode materials for high-performance lithium-ion batteries. Although these materials are commonly cycled within mild voltage windows (up to 4.3 V vs Li/Li+), operation at high voltages (>4.7 V vs Li/Li+) to access additional capacity is generally avoided due to severe interfacial and che...
Improving power and energy density by grading electrode microstructures is a promising topic in the field of battery electrode engineering. While previous modelling studies have predicted both considerable and marginal improvements in cell performance, very few experimental studies have been conducted to validate the performance of graded electrode...
Recently, niobium tungsten oxide has garnered considerable attention owing to its excellent Li-ion diffusion rate and prominent structural stability during charge-discharge cycles. Here, a cathode material (LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2, NCM811) for Li-ion batteries is successfully coated with Li-ion conductive Li(2.09)W(0.9)Nb(0.1)O(4)using a simple wet-che...

Recently, various electrolyte additives are used to reduce the negative impact on high voltage performance of the nickel-rich cathode (LiNixCoyMn1-x-yO2) (x >= 0.6). In this work, a selected additive, methyl diphenylphosphonate (MDPO), is applied to Li/LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2(NCM811) half cells operating at high work voltages of 2.8-4.5 V. The electroc...
Iron trifluoride (FeF3) might be a suitable high-voltage cathode material for high-power thermal batteries due to its high voltage plateau, low cost and low toxicity. In this study, anhydrous FeF3 was synthesized and its applicability as a cathode material for thermal batteries was investigated. Its structure, thermal stability and electrochemical ...
