Ultrathin transition metal silicate nanosheet cathode material for Li-ion batteries supports reversible two-lithium-ion capacity

Green Car Congress

Researchers from Tohoku University, Japan, have developed novel ultrathin Li 2 MnSiO 4 nanosheets for use as a cathode material in lithium-ion batteries. The electrochemical performances of the samples were evaluated using a beaker-type three-electrode cell with metallic Li as a counter and reference electrode. Click to enlarge.
