Abstract
A nickel based micro-structured material and methods are shown. In one example, the nickel based micro-structured material is used as an electrode in a battery, such as a lithium ion battery.
Claims10
A battery, comprising:
- a first electrode, including:
- a nickel substrate;
- a number of nickel oxide fibers coupled to the nickel substrate;
- a second electrode;
- and
- an electrolyte in contact with both the first electrode and the second electrode.
3 more elements
A method of forming a battery electrode, comprising:
- attaching a number of first nickel fibers to a nickel substrate;
- etching the number of first nickel fibers to form second nickel oxalate fibers on the first nickel fibers;
- reducing the second nickel oxalate fibers to form second nickel fibers on the first nickel fibers;
- and
- oxidizing the second nickel fibers to form second nickel oxide fibers coupled to the nickel substrate.
