Thermodynamics of Refractory Powder Passivation Surface Oxide Reduction
Controlling oxygen partial pressure and furnace dew point during thermal reduction strips surface oxides without triggering particle necking or tap density loss.
Precursor Selection and Oxidative Stabilization Parameters for Hard Carbon Synthesis
Controlled oxidative cross-linking of pitch precursors balances carbon yield and closed porosity to optimize hard carbon capacity and initial coulombic efficiency.
Modeling Hydrostatic Pressure Suppression of Destructive Lithiation Nucleation Events in Encapsulated Silicon Powders
Hydrostatic pressure elevates lithium chemical potential and raises nucleation energy barriers, suppressing destructive phase fracture in encapsulated silicon anode powders.
Continuous Pyrolysis versus Chemical Pre-Sodiation in Hard Carbon Yields
Continuous pyrolysis delivers lower manufacturing costs and stable hard carbon yields, whereas chemical pre-sodiation boosts efficiency at higher scrap and reagent expenses.
