Synthesis of a bicontinuous electrically conductive nanocomposite via in-situ formation of RuO2 nanoparticles

The synthesis of a nanocomposite material obtained via the in-situ formation of ruthenium oxide nanoparticles on and between commercial lithium manganese oxide particles is reported. Electrochemical tests have shown that the synthesized nanocomposite material is characterized by a bicontinuous morphology in which the solid phase and pore phase are continuous, interpenetrating and exhibit high electronic conductivity.
