• During the 2 years of research, practiced research on cathode materials for Li-Ion batteries operating by a self-combustion reaction principle. The research was funded by ETV Motors Company with the goal of developing a breakthrough high voltage spinel oxide battery to be used as the main power supply for an electrical vehicle.
• Was responsible for the complete process of synthesis of the battery cathode material, composed of Ni-Mn-Li (NMS) compound in a spinel structure.
• Was responsible for the chemical characterization of new delivered NMS compounds, using XRD, BET, SEM, EDAX, and ICP chemical analysis methods, with the purpose of defining the compound surface morphology, structure, size, and surface areas.
• Performed optimization for each of the various stages in the overall production process of the battery.
• Assembled the coin cell batteries in an inert environment using a glove box apparatus, followed by a series of electrochemical measurements.
