A new, high performance CuO/LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 lithium-ion battery

In this paper we report a novel type, full lithium ion battery using a CuO–MCMB composite anode and a high voltage, LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 cathode. We show that this battery operates for over 100 cycles at high rate and with excellent efficiency, performances that are rarely met in advanced lithium ion batteries. We assume that the results reported in this work may open up new prospects in the lithium ion battery technology.
