Abstract

ViPER (Vilas Pol’sEnergy Research) laboratory at Purdue University focuses its researchactivities on the development of high capacity electrode materials, theirengineering for longer cycle life and improved battery safety. Considering theadvantages and limitations of known synthesis techniques, a solvent-less,single step processing technology has been developed to fabricate a variety ofunique anode and cathode materials for Li-ion, Na-ion, K-ion and Li-Sbatteries. Moreover, the talk will demonstrate how tailored spherical, solid,dense carbon particle anodes could make Li-ion batteries safer via distributingcurrent uniformly during charging, minimizing excess SEI formation anddendritic growth. ViPER’s recent efforts on structural, morphological,compositional and electrochemical properties of various fascinatingelectro-chemistries with transformative technological aspects will bediscussed. These talks will be focused on the sustainable synthesis ofcarbonaceous materials, detailed characterization and their applications invarious batteries.
