Author:Kebede, Mesfin A; Palaniyandy, Nithyadharseni; Koao, LF; Ezema, FI; Mhlongo, MRDate:Nov 2021Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are the most suitable and preferred energy storage system for powering electric vehicles (EVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and stationary applications owing to their attractive properties including ...Read more
Author:Palaniyandy, Nithyadharseni; Rambau, Khavharendwe MA; Musyoka, Nicholas; Ren, JianweiDate:Apr 2020Due to its three-dimensional tunnel structure, the spinel LiMn2[sub]O4[sub] (LMO) cathode material is highly favourable for the migration of lithium ions. Thus, LMO has been used as a commercial cathode material for the electronic devices ...Read more
Author:Jafta, CJ; Mathe, Mahlanyane K; Manyala, N; Roos, WD; Ozoemena, KIDate:Aug 2013The LiMn1.5Ni0.5O4 spinel is an important lithium ion battery cathode material that has continued to receive major research attention because of its high operating voltage (∼4.8 V). This study interrogates the impact of microwave irradiation ...Read more
Author:Kebede, Mesfin A; Phasha, MJ; Kunjuzwa, N; Mathe, Mahlanyane K; Ozoemena, KIDate:Jun 2015High-performing (LiAl(subx)Mn(sub2-x)O(sub4) (x = 0, 0.125, 0.25, 0.375, and 0.5) spinel cathode materials for lithium-ion battery were developed using a solution combustion method. The as-synthesized cathode materials have spinel cubic ...Read more
Author:Thackeray, MM; Rossouw, MHDate:Dec 1994The synthesis of lithium-manganese-oxide spinels by reaction of Li2CO3 and MnCO3 in air and under nitrogen to T(max) = 600°C has been investigated by thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. When the reaction is ...Read more
