Abstract

ViPER (Vilas Pol’s Energy Research) laboratory at Purdue University focuses its research activities on the development of high capacity electrode materials, their engineering for longer cycle life and improved battery safety. Considering the advantages and limitations of known synthesis techniques, a solvent-less, single step processing technology has been developed to fabricate a variety of unique anode and cathode materials for Li-ion, Na-ion, K-ion and Li-S batteries. Moreover, the talk will demonstrate how tailored spherical, solid, dense carbon particle anodes could make Li-ion batteries safer via distributing current uniformly during charging, minimizing excess SEI formation and dendritic growth. ViPER’s recent efforts on structural, morphological, compositional and electrochemical properties of various fascinating electro-chemistries with transformative technological aspects will be discussed. These talks will be focused on the sustainable synthesis of carbonaceous materials, detailed characterization and their applications in various batteries.
