Flux Growth Meets Advanced Lithium-ion Battery Materials

Abstract

  We have been refining the chemistry in the flux growth of single-crystal for the development of cutting-edge battery materials. Flux growth is based on the flow of source materials to the growing crystals in molten salts (flux) at high temperature. Main challenging of this method is selecting suitable fluxes to achieve shape-controlled crystal growth. In this paper, we shortly summarize our recent activities on the strategic studies of flux growth for battery materials, including detailing how to select fluxes.
