    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Chemistry; cathode materials; lithium manganese oxide; in situ neutron diffraction; Rietveld refinement; band-structure calculations; Kemi; Chemistry; Kemi; Inorganic Chemistry; oorganisk kemi;

    Abstract : The transition-metal oxide spine1 LiMn2O4 is a promising cathode material for high-capacity lithium-ion batteries. Structure-property relationships pertaining to the electrochemical cycling behaviour of LiMn2O4 have been studied. READ MORE

  4. 4. Proton conductivity in acceptor-doped lanthanide based pyrochlore oxides

    Author : Karinh Eurenius; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Pyrochlore; Rietveld refinement; Proton conductivity; Electrical impedance spectroscopy; Concentration Cell Electromotive Force Method.;

    Abstract : A high interest in developing new materials for SOFC applications in the temperature range of approximately 200–500 C has been growing lately. The lower activation energies for proton (H+) mobility can give higher conductivity in this temperature range. READ MORE

  5. 5. Structure and Phase Stability of CaC2 Polymorphs, Li2C2 and Lithium Intercalated Graphite : A Revisit with High Pressure Experiments and Metal Hydride–Graphite Reactions

    Author : Sumit Konar; Ulrich Häussermann; Gunnar Svensson; Arnold Guloy; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; acetylide carbides; high pressure; Raman spectroscopy; powder X-ray diffraction; Rietveld refinement; Materials Chemistry; materialkemi;

    Abstract : Alkali (A) and alkaline earth (AE) metals can form carbides and intercalated graphites with carbon. The carbides mostly represent acetylides which are salt-like compounds composed of C22− dumbbell anions and metal cations. Both the acetylide carbides and intercalated graphites are technologically important. READ MORE
