Multispectroscopic Studies of the Electronic Structure of Electrode Materials for High Energy Density Batteries: I-II, I-III Intermetallic Compounds with B32 Structure. Final Technical Report

摘要

The I-II and I-III intermetallic compounds with B32 (Zintl) structure are promising candidates for electrode materials to be used in high energy density batteries or solid blankets for nuclear reactors. Optimal use of these important materials requires a satisfactory understanding of their structure and physico-chemical properties. This report describes the work recently performed to initiate a systematic experimental study of the electronic structure and related properties of representative compounds in the I-II and I-III Zintl series.
