Design and characterisation of layered transition metal oxide cathode materials for Na-ion batteries

Thanaweera Achchige, Dumindu P. (2022) Design and characterisation of layered transition metal oxide cathode materials for Na-ion batteries. PhD by Publication, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

Owing to the scarcity of lithium, discovering alternatives for lithium in rechargeable batteries is a critical requirement. Sodium is an ideal candidate for this purpose. The absence of exceptional cathode materials in sodium-ion batteries is a bottleneck in realizing the above objective. This study focused on synthesizing novel transition metal oxide cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries and improving their electrochemical properties. The outcomes of this study emphasized the importance of novel material compositions as well as the role of smart cation substitution, anion redox reaction, electrochemical activation and the effect of the combination of strategies in achieving next-generation high-capacity cathodes.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
