Description
This lecture will cover the structure, synthesis and characterization
of materials used in rechargeable Li-ion batteries
and in closely related battery technologies. First, the major
intercalation-type cathode and anode materials will be
addressed. Then the advantages and shortcomings of
going to “nano” (down-sizing) and "smart engineering" of
the electrode materials will be discussed. Finally, materials
aspects of post-Li chemistries will be briefly reviewed
