Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we are planning to create a new cathode material with high capacity, high output and high safety for solid-state lithium-ion batteries. Porous cathode materials with dispersed nano-silicon particles have been tried to synthesize by mechanical milling and super-critical processing techniques. The nano-silicon-dispersed materials produced by mechanical milling were investigated to clarify the size and segregation of the silicon particles by neutron small scattering method. The production of porous graphite materials has been successful by using the super-critical processing technique with CO2 gas. The visualization of conduction pathways and stable site of lithium ions in the structure was succeeded by combining reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) modeling and the bond valence sum (BVS) method based on the synchrotron X-ray and time-of-flight neutron diffraction data.
