Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the field of electro-chemical and energy storage technology. In particular, the present invention relates to the laminar growth mechanism of the Li3VO4 (LVO) anode material and its ultra-long cycling under high C-rate for its application in metal ion batteries such as lithium-ion batteries, sodium ion batteries, or Zinc ion batteries.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method (100) and system (200) for synthesizing a lithium-based oxide (LBO) anode material. The method (100) includes dissolving (102), LiOAc (Lithium acetate dihydrate) in a solvent under constant stirring at a temperature range of 50-70° C., preparing (104), a solution mixture by dissolving a salt or compound in the solvent, allowing (106), the solution mixture to react for a first predefined time under constant stirring, adding (108), continuously a homogenous solution into the solution mixture to activate the reaction, carrying (110), out the reaction for a second predefined time at a temperature range of 45-70° C. under constant stirring, collecting (112), powder sample of LBO anode material by drying the solution mixture at 70-90° C. in air for a third predefined time, and annealing (114), the dried powder sample at a temperature range of 700-850° C. for a fourth predefined time in the air.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for evaluating the effectiveness of network security tools for mitigating network security risks. According to one implementation, a method includes the step of analyzing a network to measure security parameters associated with the use of one or more network security tools that are configured for mitigating risk with respect to network compromise, data loss, lateral movement, and asset exposure. Based on the measured security parameters, the method further includes the step of quantifying the one or more network security tools to determine an effectiveness score defining an ability of the one or more network security tools, in combination, to counteract the network compromise, data loss, lateral movement, and asset exposure.
