Researchers Develop Higher Performance Li-Ion Electrode Materials Using Ultracentrifugal Processing

Green Car Congress

The Naoi Lab earlier used the ultracentrifugal (>75000 N) technology to develop a Li-ion capacitor with a negative electrode made from CNFs and lithium titanate (Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 , LTO). The podded pea type, on the other hand, has a high specific gravity, making it easy to enhance the energy density. Resources. Ishimoto, and K.
