High volume lithium batteries

As can be seen in Fig. 5, exothermic reactions observed even at room temperature for Li, A.Ni02, especially with x > 0.75, with an organic electrolyte may give some problems in designing high-volume lithium-ion batteries with LiNi02. In this section a possible haystack-type reaction,... 

As described above, LiNi02 is an attractive material for lithium-ion batteries. However, it is difficult to operate high-volume lithium-ion batteries consisting of LiNiOj and (natural) graphite (or other negative electrode materials) safely for thousands of cycles. The difficulty is associated with the formation of nickel dioxide, so that it is hopeless to cope with this problem in a usual manner. However, it may be possible using a characteristic feature of the solid-state redox reaction of... 

According to above comparison, we can see that redox shuttles have promising applications for high-energy and high-power lithium batteries, particularly for transportation applications, to reduce the weight and volume of...

Facilities that do not fall into the p)n ometallurgical category involve wet chemistry processes. Only two such processes are known and only one has processed high volumes of all types of lithium batteries. These processes generally produee cleaner recycled products, less waste from the process, and are dedieated strictly to processing lithium batteries.
