SWEETNANO - Process for the preparation of carbon-coated metal-doped zinc oxide particles and their use
- Summary
- "SWEETNANO" describes an electrode material for use in lithium-ion batteries. These are zinc oxide particles coated with a transition metal, e.g. Iron or cobalt are doped. By the production method according to the invention using certain sugar compounds, these can be produced with a conductive carbon coating.
- Technology Benefits
- High specific capacity as anode material
Improved cycle stability of lithium-ion batteries
Increased conductivity of active material
Cheap and simple synthesis that can be easily upscaled
- Technology Application
- Future electro-mobility concepts require advanced battery technologies. Main drawbacks today are restrictions in energy density and cycle durability. The presented invention provides an advanced material that helps to overcome these problems.
