Development of LiMPO4 materials for lithium ion batteries

人们对可持续发展的兴趣空前高涨。这在一定程度上是因为人们可怕地意识到，我们目前的做法已经让我们的环境，尤其是我们的气候处于灾难性的状态。因此，像所有工业国家一样，加拿大正在进行一场“绿色”技术竞赛，以提供能够维持我们的生活方式而不破坏我们的环境的技术。为了在这场竞赛中竞争，魁北克大学(UQAM)和Clariant(Canada)Inc.(前身为Phostech Lithium)的研究人员在过去五年里结成了战略联盟，目标是下一代锂离子电池的实用解决方案--这种解决方案可以廉价而高效地储存可再生风能、太阳能和水能。

The interest in sustainable development is at an all time high. This is in part due to the horrific realization that our current approach has left our environment, most notably, our climate in a disastrous state. Canada is therefore, like all industrial countries, in a "green" technology race to provide technologies that can sustain our way of life without destroying our environment. To compete in this race, researchers at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) and Clariant (Canada) inc. (formerly Phostech Lithium) have, over the past five years, formed a strategic alliance that targets practical solutions for next generation lithium-ion batteries - solutions that can cheaply and efficiently store renewable wind, solar and hydro energy.
