GRAPHENE-LMNCO CATHODE MATERIAL FOR LI-ION BATTERIES
OUTCOME OR ACCOMPLISHMENT: Development of a rechargeable lithium-ion battery electrode through the homogeneous mixing of 10% of graphene powder into the active LMNCO cathode material for enhanced electrochemical performance.
IMPACT: The gravimetric energy density of the composite Graphene-LMNCO cathode material exceeds that of the LMNCO alone in lithium-ion batteries, and the addition of graphene into the active material is anticipated to be advantageous in applications in which weight per unit volume is a critical factor.
