Abstract: | The reverse micelles procedure is a convenient route for the preparation of nanomaterials. Chemical reactions in aqueous media
are carried out within a restricted volume, limited by the array of surfactant molecules. The versatility of this technique
allows its use in the preparation of different electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries. The thermolysis of the reagents
in aqueous solution in the micellar volume by contact with hot kerosene allows the preparation of LiCoO2, LiMn2O4, and LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 fine powders with good electrochemical behavior. The conversion electrode material Co3O4 was prepared with controlled particle size and microstructure by a precipitation reaction in the micellar volume. The electrochemical
response found in lithium cells was excellent after optimizing the annealing procedure. Cobalt and iron oxalate nanoribbons
and submicrometric rhombic particles of manganese carbonate have been prepared by the reverse micelles procedure and partially
behave as conversion oxide electrodes. The electrochemical reaction with lithium of these new oxysalt materials takes place
by a different conversion reaction than the corresponding oxide, and a surface capacitive contribution has also been detected. |
