Novel approaches to the synthesis and treatment of cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries

Nous avons mis au point une approche novatrice pour la synthèse d’un matériau de cathode pour les piles lithium-ion basée sur la décomposition thermique de l’urée. Les hydroxydes de métal mixte (NixMnxCo(1-2x)(OH)2) ont été préparés (x = 0.00 à 0.50) et subséquemment utilisés comme précurseurs à la préparation de l’oxyde de métal mixte (LiNixMnxCo(1-2x)O2). Ces matériaux, ainsi que le phosphate de fer lithié (LiFePO4), sont pressentis comme matériaux de cathode commerciaux pour la prochaine génération de piles lithium-ion. Nous avons également développé un nouveau traitement post-synthèse afin d’améliorer la morphologie des hydroxydes. L’originalité de l’approche basée sur la décomposition thermique de l’urée réside dans l’utilisation inédite des hydroxydes comme précurseurs à la préparation d’oxydes de lithium mixtes par l’intermédiaire d’une technique de précipitation uniforme. De plus, nous proposons de nouvelles techniques de traitement s’adressant aux méthodes de synthèses traditionnelles. Les résultats obtenus par ces deux méthodes sont résumés dans deux articles soumis à des revues scientifiques. Tous les matériaux produits lors de cette recherche ont été analysés par diffraction des rayons X (DRX), microscope électronique à balayage (MEB), analyse thermique gravimétrique (ATG) et ont été caractérisés électrochimiquement. La performance électrochimique (nombre de cycles vs capacité) des matériaux de cathode a été conduite en mode galvanostatique.

A detailed study of the lithiation of iron phosphate as well as the development of a novel synthesis of lithium iron silicate as cathode material for lithium-ion batteries

Dans cette thèse nous démontrons le travail fait sur deux matériaux de cathodes pour les piles lithium-ion. Dans la première partie, nous avons préparé du phosphate de fer lithié (LiFePO4) par deux méthodes de lithiation présentées dans la littérature qui utilisent du phosphate de fer (FePO4) amorphe comme précurseur. Pour les deux méthodes, le produit obtenu à chaque étape de la synthèse a été analysé par la spectroscopie Mössbauer ainsi que par diffraction des rayons X (DRX) pour mieux comprendre le mécanisme de la réaction. Les résultats de ces analyses ont été publiés dans Journal of Power Sources. Le deuxième matériau de cathode qui a été étudié est le silicate de fer lithié (Li2FeSiO4). Une nouvelle méthode de synthèse a été développée pour obtenir le silicate de fer lithié en utilisant des produits chimiques peu couteux ainsi que de l’équipement de laboratoire de base. Le matériau a été obtenu par une synthèse à l’état solide. Les performances électrochimiques ont été obtenues après une étape de broyage et un dépôt d’une couche de carbone. Un essai a été fait pour synthétiser une version substituée du silicate de fer lithié dans le but d’augmenter les performances électrochimiques de ce matériau.

Effect of processing parameters on the mechanical properties of short Kevlar aramid fibre-thermoplastic polyurethane composite

The effect of various processing parameters, such as nip gap, friction ratio and roll temperature, on the tensile properties of short Kevlar aramid fibre-thermoplastic polyurethane composite has been investigated and the tensile and tear fracture surfaces have been characterised using a scanning electron microscope. A nip gap of 0.45 mm, a friction ratio of 1.15 and a roll temperature of 62°C was found to give optimum mechanical properties. Scanning electron microscopy study revealed a higher extent of fibre orientation in the milling direction in the above condition.

Scanning Electron Microscopy Studies on Tear and Wear Failure of Short Kevlar Fiber-Thermoplastic- Polyurethane Composite

Tear and wear properties of short kevlar fiber, thermoplastic polcurethane (TPU) composite with respect to fiber loading-and fiber onentation has been studied and the fracture surfaces were examined under scanning electron microscope (SEM). Tear strength first decreased up to 20 phr fiber loading and then gradually increased with increasing fiber loading. Anisotropy in tear strength was evident beyond a fiber loading of 20 phr. Tear fracture surface of unfilled TPU showed sinusoidal folding characteristics of high strength matrix. At low fiber loading the tear failure was mainly due to fibermatrix failure whereas at higher fiber loading the failure occurred by fiber breakage. Abrasion loss shows a continuous rise with increasing fiber loading, the loss in the transverse orientation of fibers being higher than that in the longitudinal orientation. The abraded surface showed lone cracks and ridges parallel to the direction of abrasion indicating an abrasive wear mechanism. In the presence of fber the abrasion loss was mainly due to fiber low.

Self adhesion of short Kevlar fibre -thermoplastic polyurethane composite

The self adhesion behaviour of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) in itself and its composite with short Kevlar fibre with respect to contact time, temperature, pressure, and fibre loading has been studied. The adhesion strength showed two linear increments of different slopes with respect to the square root of time: with temperature and pressure of contact, the adhesion strength was improved. The maximum strength was obtained with 20 phr of short fibre in only one of the mating substrates in the peel test sample. The duration for wetting and diffusion was shifted to longer time intervals with fibres loaded in both the substrates.

Studies on the Flammability of Short Kevlar Fiber-Thermoplastic Polyurethane Composite

The flammability of short Kevlar aramide fiber-thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) has been investigated with respect to fiber loading and various flame retardant additives such as halogen containing polymers, antimony oxide/chlorine donor combination, zinc borate, and aluminum hydroxide. Smoke generation was reduced drastically, while the oxygen index was reduced marginally in the presence of short fibers. The best improvement in the oxygen index was obtained with antimony oxide/chlorinated paraffin wax combination, in the weight ratio 1:6. A 70 phr loading of aluminum hydroxide improved LOI and reduced smoke generation.

Characterization of Short Nylon-6 Fiber/Acrylonitrile Butadiene Rubber Composite by Thermogravimetry

The thermal degradation of short nylon-6 fiber reinforced acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) composites with and without epoxy-based bonding agent has been studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). It was found that the onset of degradation shifted from 330.5 to 336.1°C in the presence of short nylon fiber, the optimum fiber loading being 20 phr. The maximum rate of degradation of the composites was lower than that of the unfilled rubber compound, and it decreased with increase in fiber concentration. The presence of epoxy resin-based bonding agent in the virgin elastomer and the composites improved the thermal stability. Results of kinetic studies showed that the degradation of NBR and the short nylon fiber reinforced composites followed first-order kinetics.

Thermal Degradation of Short Nylon -6 Fiber-Reinforced Styrene Butadiene Rubber Composite

The thermal properties of short Nylon-6 fiber-reinforced Styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) composites were studied by Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). The effect of epoxy-based bonding agent on thermal degradation of the gum and the composites was also studied. The thermal stability of the SBR was enhanced in the presence of Nylon-6 fibers and the stability of the composites increased in the presence of bonding agent. The epoxy resin did not significantly change the thermal stability of SBR gum vulcanizate. Results of kinetic studies showed that the degradation of SBR and the short nylon fiber-reinforced composites with and without bonding agents followed first-order kinetics.

Acrylonitrile-Butadiene Rubber/ Reclaimed Rubber-Nylon Fiber Composite

The effect of diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) -polyethyleneglycol (PEG) resin on the cure characteristics and mechanical properties of nitrile rubber/whole tyre eclaim-short nylon fiber composite-was studied. At a constant loading of 5 phr, the resin composition was varied. The minimum torque .,id (maximum - minimum) torque increased with isocyanate concentration. Scorch time and cure time showed a reduction on introduction of bonding agent. Properties like tensile strength, tear strength, and abrasion resistance increased with increase in MDI/PEG ratio, and these properties are higher in the longitudinal direction of fiber orientation. Compression set increased with isocyanate concentration and the resilience remain unchanged.
