Title Design of Optimal Carbonaceous Material from Carbon Capture for Use in Lithium-Ion Batteries
Date 2018
Description The utilization of carbon nanofiber obtained from carbon capture as a potential anodic material in lithium-ion batteries was investigated in this project. The carbon nanofiber obtained from the carbon capture process was designed to be optimal for use in lithium-ion batteries. Its suitability as an anodic material was determined by the interplanar spacing within the material, which was analyzed by X-ray diffraction. Subjecting the material to heat treatments resulted in an interplanar spacing that was sufficient to accommodate the intercalation of lithium ions, thus establishing the carbon nanofiber as a suitable anodic material for use in lithium-ion batteries.
