Optimisation Of Mesoporous Battery And Supercapacitor Materials

Abstract: A process for processing an electroactive mesoporous material into a cathode, or an anode or a supercapacitor material using one or more of the steps of: (a) modifying the material to remove impurities or substitute materials in the powder by a hydrothermal process; (b) intercalating the material by injecting the material with the charge carrier ion using a hydrothermal process or supercritical CO2 fluid process where the solvent fluid contains a soluble material of the charge carrier ion; (c) sintering the intercalated material; (d) providing a layer of a conducting material within the material pores; (e) filling the pores and interparticle spaces with an electrolyte generally comprising the charge carrier ion and a solvent; and for solid state materials, (f) polymerizing the solvent to encapsulate the powders.
