A composition for use in a battery electrode comprising a compound including lithium, manganese, nickel, and oxygen. The composition is characterized by a powder X-ray diffraction pattern having peaks including 18.6.+-.0.2, 35.0.+-.0.2, 36.4.+-.0.2, 37.7.+-.0.2, 42.1.+-.0.2, and 44.5.+-.0.2 degrees 2.theta. as measured using Cu K.sub..alpha. radiation.
An apparatus for testing of multiple material samples includes a gas delivery control system operatively connectable to the multiple material samples and configured to provide gas to the multiple material samples. Both a gas composition measurement device and pressure measurement devices are included in the apparatus. The apparatus includes multiple selectively openable and closable valves and a series of conduits configured to selectively connect the multiple material samples individually to the gas composition device and the pressure measurement devices by operation of the valves. A mixing system is selectively connectable to the series of conduits and is operable to cause forced mixing of the gas within the series of conduits to achieve a predetermined uniformity of gas composition within the series of conduits and passages.
The goal of the project is to develop and utilize high-throughput instrumentation for the discovery of robust, cost-effective metal-organic frameworks for the efficient capture of CO 2 from power plant flue gas. To this end, we have used highly-parallel and automated synthesize methods to accelerate the discovery of new MOF structures and their optimized synthesis and activation routes. To be able to rapidly screen these new materials for their potential CO 2 capture performance, we have developed high-throughput structural characterization instruments and gas adsorption instruments. To guide the materials choice and design, we have also developed computational tools to analyze the life cycle and sorbent performance of existing and hypothetical materials.
