Hydrogen storage and electrochemical properties of LaNi5-xCux hydride-forming alloys

Natalia Gasilova, Andreas Züttel, Mariana Spodaryk

LaNi5-type alloys are commercial materials for the negative electrode in Ni-MH rechargeable batteries. Partial substitution of La by mischmetal (Mm) and of Ni by elements like Co, Al, and Mn significantly improve the cycle stability and high-rate discharge ...

Characteristics and properties of nano-LiCoO2 synthesized by pre-organized single source precursors: Li-ion diffusivity, electrochemistry and biological assessment

Nam Hee Kwon, Andreas Züttel, Mariana Spodaryk

Background: LiCoO2 is one of the most used cathode materials in Li-ion batteries. Its conventional synthesis requires high temperature (>800 degrees C) and long heating time (>24 h) to obtain the micronscale rhombohedral layered high-temperature phase of L ...
