UN38.3 refers to paragraph 38.3 of the "United Nations Manual of Tests and Standards for the Transport of Dangerous Goods" specially formulated by the United Nations for the transportation of dangerous goods. The safe transportation of lithium batteries must have a test report that meets the requirements of UN38.3 and a certificate.  The cargo transportation condition appraisal report that co...

Lithium ion battery (LIB) has been used as energy storage devices for portable electronics since 1990 years. Recently, these are well noted as the power sources for the vehicles such as electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles. Both layered type LiCoO2, LiNiO2 and spinel type LiMn2O4 is the most important cathode materials because of their high operating voltage at 4 V (Mizushima, et.al, 198...

The latest trend in battery materials processing is using biomineralization process in order to build controlled nanoarchitectured compounds under ambient conditions [Ryu, J. et al. (2010)]. Biomimetic chemistry involves the utilization of actual biomolecular entities such as proteins, bacteria and viruses to act either as a growth medium or as a spatially constrained nanoscale reac...

New synthetic methods derived from solvothermal approach, such as ionothermal processes have been used to obtain nanopowders of LiMPO4 (M= Mn, Co and Ni), LixMSiO4 [Nytén, A. et al. (2005)] and Li and Na fluorophosphates battery materials [DiSalvo, F.J. et al. (1971); Ellis, B.L. et al. (2007b)] using low heating temperature. Ionothermal synthesis has emerged when a great amount of ...

Classical synthesis methods can be classified in solid reactions and solution methods,according to the precursors used (Figure 2). Ceramic process is the simplest and most traditional synthesis method because of its easy procedure and easy scale-up. It consists on manual grinding of the reactants and their subsequent heating in air, oxidative, reducing or inert atmosphere, depending on t...

Since 1990, Li-ion batteries became essential for our daily life, and the scope of their applications is currently expanding from mobile electronic devices to electric vehicles, power tools and stationary power grid storage. The ever-enlarging market of portable electronic products and the new demands of the transportation market and stationary storage require cells with enhanc...

Lithium batteries can provide higher voltage, greater battery density, and the number of cycles is more than a thousand times,while lead acid is only 300-500 times; lithium battery charging has a threshold, (1) Different nominal voltages: single lead-acid battery 2.0V, single lithium battery 3.6V; (2)Lithium battery has higher energy density, lead-acid battery 30WH / KG, lithium battery 110WH / KG...

The lithium ion forklift battery is poised to revolutionize the materials handling industry. And when you compare the pros and cons of the lithium battery vs. lead acid battery for powering your forklift or fleet of lift trucks, it is easy to understand why. The biggest reason is that the potential cost savings are enormous. It’s true that lithium forklift batteries do cost considerably more than ...
