Porous and High Surface Area Nanoarchitectures: Synthesis and Application in Lithium Ion Batteries Advances in designing nanostructured or nanoporous materials with well-defined composition, e.g. silica, non-silicate oxides, phosphates or hybrid materials, with particle sizes in the range of 2-50 nm play a vital role in manifold fields, e.g. heterogeneous catalysis or energy storage applications. Modified sol-gel routes with different precursors, catalysts and/or structure directing agents combined with other processing methods, e.g. ultrasonic irradiation or hydrothermal treatment, provide an excellent option to obtain those materials. This presentation will focus on the synthesis and characterization of high surface area materials as electrode material for Li-ion batteries. Examples will include different polymorphs of titanium dioxide, lithium manganese phosphates, as well as carbon and silicon. |
