Towards New Negative Electrode Materials for Li-Ion Batteries: Electrochemical Properties of LiNiN

The performance of LiNiN as electrode material in lithium batteries was successfully tested. Stable capacities of 142 mA·h/g, 237 mA·h/g, and 341 mA·h/g are obtained when the compound is cycled between 0 and 1.3 V, 1.45 V, and 1.65 V, respectively. These results confirm that it is a promising alternative as a negative electrode material in Li-ion batteries.
