discharge capacity

Cycling tests of lithium-ion batteries in wide temperature and load ranges have been carried out. The existence of certain threshold discharge load corresponding abrupt decrease of discharge capacity was found. 

Discharge behavior of lithium nano-titanate samples synthesized by solid-state methods from titania (anatase) and various lithium compounds has been studied. The shape of discharge curves was shown to change along with increasing current. This change was explained with due account for the model of heterogeneous lithium nano-titanate grain. It is found that the dependence of discharge capacity on current density does not obey to common Peukert equation but consists of two segments.

Nowadays, the active search for an anode material, which can be used in lithium-ion current sources, takes place. The potential anode materials are transition metal oxides (SnO₂, NiO and others). In this work, submicron NiO powder was obtained using the thermal decomposition of Ni(CH₃COO)₂⋅4H₂O. Besides, a NiO/C composite anode was fabricated and its behavior in the anode half-cell of lithium-ion current source was studied during multiple cycling.

The electrochemical characteristics of the negative electrodes of the lead-acid battery with additives of carbon nanotubes and graphene were studied. It was shown that the highest values of the capacitive characteristics of the electrodes were obtained by adding carbon nanotubes to the negative active mass. The processes occurring on the negative electrode were studied by the method of impedance spectroscopy. Applying simulation, an equivalent electrical circuit was obtained, which adequately approximated the obtained frequency dependences.

Compositions of ultrafine Si and C particles are promising anode materials for lithium-ion power sources with improved energy characteristics. In the work, samples of lithium-ion power sources with an anode made of ultrafine SiC fibers, as well as mixtures of SiC fibers with graphite (C/SiC) and electrolytically deposited submicron silicon fibers (C/Si/SiC) were fabricated and studied for energy characteristics.

The influence of the ultrasonic field on lead dioxide electrodeposition from nitrate electrolyte was studied. The adsorption of electroactive particles and the amount of nucleation on the electrode surface were found to have increased as well as the formation of OH-radicals accelerated under the influence of the ultrasonic field.
