Konkuk University researchers developed a new technology to synthesize yolk-shell-structured materials by using household ultrasonic humidifiers. The technology shortens the conventional synthesis process which takes several days. The yolk-shell-structured materials prepared by the scalable new process show superior properties as electrode materials for lithium secondary batteries.
The research was conducted by Prof. Kang Yun-chan of the Department of Chemical Engineering and his graduate students Mr. Hong Young-jun and Ms. Son Mun-yeong.
Their paper “One-Pot Facile Synthesis of Double-Shelled SnO2 Yolk-Shell-Structured Powders by Continuous Process as Anode Materials For Li-ion Batteries” was published in the April 24 edition of Advanced Materials.
