Research on the preparation of a Li-B alloy battery anode material

Abstract:

Li-B alloys have excellent potential as a battery anode material, but difficulties associated with their preparation have limited commercial application. This paper describes novel preparation techniques that allow the production of 300g quantities via improvements in several aspects of the synthesis process, including atmospheric control, temperature, cooling, and stirring practices. The alloy prepared using procedures identified in this study was uniform and porosity-free. The discharge performance of the alloy anodes prepared in this study are presented.
