New Intercalation Materials

9810198 Whittingham该项目涉及主要基于钒氧化物并扩展到锰和铁氧化物的新型插层材料的合成。 这些插层主体将使用水热技术合成。 据设想，通过适当选择酸度、反应介质和阳离子，并通过控制氧势，将形成包含隧道或通道的新结构，这将提供具有独特性质的新材料。 将测定这些新材料的扩散/离子迁移率，并评价其用于电池或传感器的电化学活性。 它们还将被各种客体离子和分子插层的能力表征，并且它们的化学和物理性质将使用X射线，电化学和磁/电测量以及标准分析技术来确定。该项目是一个重要领域的一部分，将影响电池和传感器应用的离子传导和氧化还原活性材料。

9810198WhittinghamThis project is concerned with the synthesis of new intercalation materials that are based primarily on vanadium oxides and extend to manganese and iron oxides. These intercalation hosts will be synthesized using hydrothermal techniques. It is envisioned that by appropriate choice of acidity, reaction medium, and cations, and by control of the oxygen potential new structures containing tunnels or channels will be formed that will offer novel materials with unique properties. Diffusion / ionic mobility will be determined for these new materials, and they will be evaluated for electrochemical activity for battery or sensor use. They will also be characterized for their ability to be intercalated by a variety of guest ions and molecules and their chemical and physical properties will be determined using x-ray, electrochemical, and magnetic / electrical measurements as well as the standard analytical techniques.% % %The project is part of an important area which will impact ion-conduction and redox active materials for battery and sensor applications.***
