Austin, TX Thursday June 11, 2015 Dr. Jianjun (Fred) Hao, Senior Application Technologist at SACHEM, is presenting a poster titled “A Facile Approach for Metal Oxide Shell Formation on Ceramic Particles for Lithium Ion Battery Cathode Material Applications” at the Advanced Automotive Battery Conference (AABC) in Detroit, Michigan June 15-19th.
Dr. Hao and his team will present his findings demonstrating the improvement of capacity, rate capability, cycle life of lithium ion batteries based on new SACHEM technology. Core-shell structured cathode material technology was investigated to improve performance of lithium ion batteries. A new and facile manufacturing method to put metal oxide shells on cathode ceramic particles for lithium ion battery applications is detailed in the poster. The advantages of our core-shell technology include (1) electrical performance improvement of various type of ceramic particles based on SACHEM high purity and precision technology; (2)room temperature process; (3) simple one-step process; (4) the shell thickness is predictable controllable and homogeneous; (5) effective for thin film shell formation with no cathode material damage.
“We have broadly validated the technology and synthetic approach with testing in multiple laboratories and we are pleased to move into the next phase with commercial scale applications,” stated Brian Mooney, Energy Storage Market Manager SACHEM, Inc.
AABC is the leading international forum where automakers and energy-storage system developers discuss the recent progress in advanced battery technology and its implementation in automotive, stationary, and industrial applications.
