Abstract

Researchers at CIC energiGUNE and Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) have found a new family of polyanionic compounds in which a fraction of the oxygen is replaced by nitrogen, giving rise to anionic entities such as SO3N-3, PO3N-4, PO2N2-5, SiO3N-5, and SiO2N2-6. When associated with a transition metal such as Fe+2 or Mn+2, lithium intercalation materials with higher energy density can be obtained.

Added value

High capacity.
Higher conductivity than N-free compounds.

Application of the technology

High energy density storage applications (e.g. transportation).
