Plant-derived materials for battery. グルコース添加の合成で電池用粉末は「質」が向上

Lithium manganese oxide (LiMn2O4) powders with particle sizes in the range of 100 nm – 600 nm have been synthesized through glucose-assisted combustion synthesis. The presence of glucose increases the stability of the precursor solution, purity of the heat-treated powders, and decreasing on size of the synthesized particle.

（植物由来原料）グルコースを添加した「燃焼合成法」により二次電池用粉末
グルコースの添加により、熱処理される前の粉末の前駆体（LiとMnの溶液）の「安定性」が向上し、合成された粒子の微粒化（サイズ減少）にも効果的。１００～６００ nmの範囲の粒径を持つリチウムマンガン酸化物（LiMn2O4）粉末が合成できました。
