Al nanorod thin films as anode electrode for Li ion rechargeable batteries

Perspectives on oblique angle deposition of thin films: From fundamentals to devices

“…Furthermore, nanosized and structurally disordered materials can better accommodate volume changes and lattice stresses caused by structural and phase transformations during lithiation/delithiation [231]. Films deposited by OAD comply with most of these requirements, and so the technique has been applied to the fabrication of both anodes [125,231,443,80,[444][445][446][447] and cathodes [231,442,[448][449][450].…”

Reassessment of the roles of Ag in TiO2 nanotubes anode material for lithium ion battery

“…As a result, some alternative anode active materials were developed, such as Si [3], Sn [4], Al [5], MoO 3 [6], SnO 2 [7], WO 3 [8], Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 [9], TiO 2 [10] and so on, among which TiO 2 is one of promising alternative anode active materials due to its fast charge transfer rate, high safety and small volume change (o 3%) during the cyclic charge/discharge [11]. It is well known that nano-morphology can endow TiO 2 with large surface area and thus high performances.…”

Controllable synthesis of MoO3-deposited TiO2 nanotubes with enhanced lithium-ion intercalation performance

“…Graphite is the most commonly-used anode material in commercial LIBs at present, but its drawbacks (easy formation of hazardous lithium dendrites) hinder innovation of compact LIBs with higher energy density and better cell safety [3]. As a result, novel anode materials have been developed to replace it, such as Si [4], Sn [5], Al [6], alloys [7], MoO 3 [8], Co 3 O 4 [9], SnO 2 [10], WO 3 [11], SiO 2 [12], Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 [13] and TiO 2 [14]. Among them TiO 2 is a promising alternative to the graphite because of its high operation voltage (1.75 V versus Li/Li þ ), high safety, good cycleability, low self-discharge rates and small volume change (<3%) during cycle use in LIBs [15].…”
