Electrochemical and In Situ X‐Ray Diffraction Studies of the Reaction of Lithium with Tin Oxide Composites
Ian A. Courtney,J. R. Dahn +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an electrochemical and in situ x-ray diffraction experiments on a variety of tin oxide based compounds; SnO,,,, and glass, as cathodes opposite lithium metal in a rechargeable Li-ion coin cell were conducted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Key Factors Controlling the Reversibility of the Reaction of Lithium with SnO2 and Sn2 BPO 6 Glass
Ian A. Courtney,J. R. Dahn +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify the factors responsible for good charge-discharge capacity retention in Li-ion cells, using results of experiments on Li/Sn{sub 2}BPO{sub 6} and Li/snO{ sub 2} cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the Aggregation of Tin in SnO Composite Glasses Caused by the Reversible Reaction with Lithium
TL;DR: In this article, the reaction mechanism in Li/[SnO:(B 2 O 3 ) x :(P 2 O 5 ) y glass (0.1≤x,y≤0.5) was shown to be inversely proportional to the spectator:Sn atom ratio.
Journal ArticleDOI
Active/Inactive Nanocomposites as Anodes for Li ‐ Ion Batteries
Ou Mao,R. L. Turner,Ian A. Courtney,B. D. Fredericksen,M. I. Buckett,L. J. Krause,J. R. Dahn +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a microscopic mixture of (active) and (inactive) grains with a volumetric capacity for which is more than twice that of the graphite materials which are now the anode of choice for the battery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ab initio calculation of the lithium-tin voltage profile
TL;DR: In this paper, an ab initio pseudopotential plane-wave method was used to calculate the total energies for several structures of the lithium-tin phase diagram, which were used to determine a theoretical electrochemical voltage profile, which compares well with experiment for $xl2.5$ in the room-temperature electrochemical cell.
