Abstract:

Lithium Ion Batteries with Improved Carbon Anodes
This project is intended to provide a safe alternative to secondary lithium cells
that use lithium metal as the anode by improving the performance of carbon anodes
for cells having the configuration C//liquid electrolyte//LiNi02. Controlled modification
of the surface groups on carbons with graphite-like structure will be related to
electrochemical performance. Such modification is intended to maximize cell capacity
and limit parasitic side reactions between the anode and the electrolyte.
Commercial applications for a practical cell are computers, televisions, camcorders,
cameras, hand-held tools, and computer memory backup.
