  • Patent number: 11040881
    Abstract: A method for preparing a Na3V2(PO4)2F3 material, including at least the steps: a) reducing the vanadium oxide, V2O5, under a reducing atmosphere in the absence of elementary carbon and in the presence of at least one phosphate anion precursor in order to form vanadium phosphate, VPO4; and b) exposing, under an inert atmosphere, a mixture of the VPO4 material obtained in step a) with an effective amount of sodium fluoride, NaF, and at least one hydrocarbon- and oxygen-containing compound which is a source of elementary carbon, to temperature conditions that are favourable for calcining said mixture so as to form said Na3V2(PO4)2F3 compound. Also, a related electrode material, an electrode and a secondary sodium battery using the presented material.

  • Publication number: 20150263332
    Abstract: A heat treatment device for a material in powder form, including a heat treatment furnace including a heating zone and a quenching tank. The quenching tank includes a container at least partially filled with a plurality of precooled solid elements, and the heat treatment furnace is mounted in a mobile manner to allow the content of the heat treatment furnace to be transferred to the quenching tank. A corresponding heat treatment method, for example, can implement manufacture of lamellar lithium manganese nickel magnesium oxide.

  • Patent number: 7909893
    Abstract: The invention relates to a lithium battery, comprising at least one lithium intercalation compound, made up of crystallites and obtained by a production method, comprising at least the following steps: formation of a homogeneous mixture of at least one precursor for the lithium intercalation compound with a given adjunct, chemically stable with relation to crystallites and designed to limit the growth of crystallites or crystallite precursors during the formation thereof, thermal treatment of the homogeneous mixture for the synthesis of the lithium intercalation compound in the form of crystallites and to give a composite material comprising at least two phases formed respectively by the lithium intercalation compound and the adjunct and forming of the composite material to give said electrode. The invention further relates to an electrode obtained by said method and lithium battery comprising such an electrode.
