16. Cooperative Lithium-Ion Insertion Mechanisms in Cathode Materials for Battery Applications
Abstract : Understanding lithium-ion insertion/extraction mechanisms in battery electrode materials is of crucial importance in developing new materials with better cycling performance. In this thesis, these mechanisms are probed for two different potential cathode materials by a combination of electrochemical and single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. READ MORE

17. Computational Studies of Nanotube Growth, Nanoclusters and Cathode Materials for Batteries
Abstract : Density functional theory has been used to investigate cathode materials for rechargeable batteries, carbon nanotube interactions with catalyst particles and transition metal catalyzed hydrogen release in magnesium hydride nanoclusters. An effort has been made to the understand structural and electrochemical properties of lithium iron silicate (Li2FeSiO4) and its manganese-doped analogue. READ MORE

18. Development and Characterisation of Cathode Materials for the Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell
Abstract : Among the obstacles for the commercialization of the MoltenCarbonate Fuel Cell (MCFC), the dissolution of thestate-of-the-art lithiated NiO cathode is considered as aprimary lifetime limiting constraint. Development ofalternative cathode materials is considered as a main strategyfor solving the cathode dissolution problem. READ MORE
