CONTEXT
Lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries are nowadays able to meet the requirements of the energy production market in isolated sites. During operation, batteries undergo a temperature rise that is detrimental to their cycling capacity (charge/discharge).

BENEFITS
The special design of a TiSnSb electrode provides a solution to the cycling problem, while maintaining high capacity values. Indeed, the electrode developed supports a number of charge/discharge cycles much higher than current electrodes and, in addition, in temperature (around 60°C).

APPLICATION
Integration in Li-ion batteries, for embedded or stationary solutions
