Gibsite and boehmite as novel host — materials with supramolecular architecture for LI+-intercalation current generation

Abstract

The possibility of a direct application of natural gibsite and boehmite minerals in effective Li+ — intercalation current generation is experimentally grounded. The dependences of Gibbs energy chan ge and kinetic parameters of intercalation on Li guest load degree are analyzed. The influence of mole cular sieve effect on process of Li+­intercalation in investigated minerals was shown. This effect is an instrument of improvement in energy and power parameters of cathode materials of Li power sou rces
