Battery performance strongly depends on the choice of the electrolyte-solvent system. Lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI) is a highly interesting novel electrolyte. Information on physico-chemical properties of solutions of LiFSI, however, is scarce. Therefore, the density, shear viscosity, and electrical conductivity of solutions of LiFSI in three pure solvents that are interesting for battery applications: dimethyl carbonate (DMC), ethylene carbonate (EC), and propylene carbonate (PC), were studied experimentally at temperatures between 273 K and 333 K at 1 bar and concentrations of LiFSI up to 0.45 mol mol−1 in the present work. Empirical correlations of the experimental data are provided. The comparison of the data of this work with the corresponding LiPF6 data underpins the attractiveness of LiFSI as an electrolyte in lithium ion batteries.

AbstractSeveral types of carbonaceous materials from Superior Graphite Co. were investigated for lithium ion intercalation. These commercially available cokes, graphitized cokes and graphites have a wide range of physical and chemical properties. The coke materials were investigated in propylene carbonate based electrolytes and the graphitic materials were studied in ethylene carbonate / dimethyl solutions to prevent exfoliation. The reversible capacities of disordered cokes are below 230 mAh / g and those for many highly ordered synthetic (artificial) and natural graphites approached 372 mAh / g (LiC6). The irreversible capacity losses vary between 15 to as much as 200 % of reversible capacities for various types of carbon. Heat treated cokes with the average particle size of 10 microns showed marked improvements in reversible capacity for lithium intercalation. The electrochemical characteristics are correlated with data obtained from scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (TAM), X - ray diffraction (XRD) and BET surface area analysis. The electrochemical performance, availability, cost and manufacturability of these commercial carbons will be discussed.

In this work we present results of measurements of structural (XRD), microstructural (SEM, EDX, TEM) and transport (electrical conductivity, Seebeck coefficient) properties as well as results of Mössbauer and FTIR spectroscopy studies of phospho-olivine materials with assumed chemical composition Li 1-3x Al x FePO 4 (x = 0, 0.001, 0.005, 0.01, 0.02, 0.05 and 0.1). Based on the performed research, possibility of lithium sublattice doping by Al is discussed. Additionally, initial results of electrochemical tests of lithium batteries with obtained, phospho-olivine based cathode materials are provided.

As a cheap and stable transition metal oxide, tungsten trioxide (WO3) has received extensive attentions due to superior physical and chemical properties that could be used in electronic devices, lithium-ion batteries, gas sensors, dye sensitized solar cells, catalysts. In this study, the well-designed 1D architecture of nanowires and nanorods was successfully synthesized via a simple and facile solvethermal method with no template or additives. It is found that both solvent type and concentration of W raw material can affect the size and morphology of WO3significantly in a regular way. Different products showed distinct photocatalytic activities during the processing of degradation methylene blue under visible light, and the underlying reasons for the different photocatalytic activities were discussed.

The physico-chemical properties of honey produced by the stingless bee Melipona mondury from Atlantic Forest in the state of Bahia, northeastern Brazil were evaluated. The evaluated characteristics included: water content, electrical conductivity, pH, acidity, water activity, ashes, diastase, hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), reducing sugars and saccharose values. The honey samples showed mean values of 29.18% for moisture; 391.5 μS for electrical conductivity; pH of 4.06; 34.3 meq kg-1 for acidity; 0.73 for water activity; 0.18% for ashes; 4.05 (Goethe unit) for diastase; 1.60% for HMF; 65.42% for reducing sugars; and 2.14% of saccharose. Only the diastase activity was above the limits accepted by the Technical Regulation for Identity and Quality of Honey (Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture and Supplies). Most parameters are according to those reported in honeys from other species of stingless bees in Brazil.
