  • Electrode comprising a transition metal oxidenitride or a nitrogen-doped transition metal oxide as electronically active material
    Patent number: 9929405
    Abstract: An electrode comprises a conductor and an electrode coating, said electrode coating comprising as electronically active material a transition metal (T) oxidenitride of formula LixTImTIInNyOz in form of nanoparticles, wherein x=0-3, y+z=2-4, y>0, z>=0.25, m+n=1, m=0-1, n=0-1, TI and TII both being transition metals of the groups IVB, VB, VIB and VIIB, and periods 3d, 4d and 5d, in particular transition metals selected from Zr, Nb, Mo, Ti, V, Cr, W, Mn, Ni, Co, Fe and Cu. Dependent on the kind of transition metal, its oxidation state and the Li content, such materials may be used as anode materials or as cathode materials, respectively.

  • Process for the production of molybdenum oxide, molybdenum oxide produced from this process and use thereof
    Publication number: 20040120883
    Abstract: The process for the production of molybdenum oxide is characterized in that molybdic acid is intercalated by a template to obtain a molybdenum oxide composite and wherein the template is removed subsequently using an acid. The molybdenum oxid is nanoscopic and has a fibrous morphology. The fibres are tangled together forming bundles.
