Brief Description
Description : | The study will embark on the development of novel organic materials with redox-active
chemical groups that undergo insertion and release of Li-ions in a reversible manner, possessing optimal
storage capacity and structural stability to yield cathode material delivering specific capacity upwards
of 200 mAh/g for SSLBs. In addition, excellent charge-discharge operational stability exceeding 1000 cycles and high charge/discharge rate (up to 2C) will also be demonstrated. High energy density > 250
Wh/kg of SSLBs will be attempted by implementing the combination of OEM cathode and lithium
anode. Finally, the goal will be to lower the overall cost of energy storage by using earth-abundant
materials, low temperature and facile solution-based processing techniques. |
