The rising number of electric vehicles comes along with an increasing demand for Li-Ion batteries. As resources such as lithium are valuable it is economically worthwhile to recycle EV batteries. One of the first steps of ...

Lithium-intercalating materials such as graphite are of great interest, especially for application in lithium-ion batteries. In this work we present an investigation of the electrochemical performance of mesocarbon microbeads ...

Amorphous lithium–silicon compounds are promising materials in order to improve pure silicon as a high-capacity anode material in lithium-ion batteries. We demonstrated that it is possible to produce amorphous LixSi (x ~ ...

Femtosecond-pulse-induced (Epump = 2:5 eV) picosecond infrared absorption is studied in the spectral region between 0.30 eV and 1.05 eV in LiNbO3:Mg. We find a noninstantaneous mid-infrared absorption peak in the time ...
