We employ molecular dynamics simulations, using DL_POLY code, to study the structural behaviour of β-MnO2 cathode material during discharging through lithium-ion intercalation into the bulk, nanoparticle, nanorod, nanosheet, ...

Nanostructured materials are attractive candidates for efficient electrochemical energy storage devices because of their unique physicochemical properties. Introducing nanotube systems as electrode materials represents one ...

The vast majority of typical cathode materials for lithium ion batteries suffers from severe specific capacity due to structural changes that occur during the process of cycling, which may lead to fractures within the ...
