Battery exam 2 with correct
solutions
Requirements for positive (cathode) material CORRECT ANSWERS 1, in an
intercalation compound, the metal ion should have a high redox potential to
achieve high output voltage
2, To ensure good cycling performance, intercalation and deintercalation of Li+
should be reversible during the whole charge-discharge process, and the volume
change should be little or none in the main host structure
3, The change of redox potential with x should be as small as possible, so that the
output voltage of the battery doesn't change much and can maintain relatively
stable
4, The intercalation compound should have good electronic conductivity and Li+
conductivity (diffusion coefficient) to reduce polarization
5, The intercalation compound should have good chemical stability and should not
react with electrolyte over the entire voltage range (minimize of side reactions)
6, From the viewpoint of practical application, the compound should be
inexpensive, nontoxic, and environmentally friendly.
