Lithium iron(III) oxide Usage And Synthesis

Description

Lithium iron(III) oxide is a class of electrode material that can be used in the fabrication of lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-ion batteries consist of anode, cathode, and electrolyte with a charge-discharge cycle. These materials enable the formation of greener and sustainable batteries for electrical energy storage.

Uses

LiFeO2 can be used as a non-toxic cathode material with a specific capacity of ~120 mAhg−1 at a rate of 100 mAg−1. It can further be used in the fabrication of lithium-ion batteries and rechargeable batteries.
Studied for its use as a long-lived porous cathode in molten carbonate fuel cells.

General Description

This product has been enhanced for energy efficiency.
