Electrode materials for metal-ion batteries, supercapacitors and redox batteries

Directional design of new electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries with improved functional properties. Creation of hybrid organo-inorganic materials based on conductive polymers and rechargeable compounds of transition metals (metal oxides, metal complexes) and development of models of lithium-ion batteries. Notable successes have been achieved in the development of new nanostructured materials based on LiFePO4, LiMn0.6Fe0.4PO4 and the conductive polymer poly-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene. Due to the surface modification of the grains of active rechargeable materials with a conductive polymer and the introduction of ion-conducting polyelectrolytes, it was possible to obtain cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries, the characteristics of which exceed analogues published to date in terms of capacity and speed of charge-discharge processes. Research is underway on new anode materials for lithium-ion batteries based on cobalt oxide and molybdenum sulfide, as well as research on materials for sodium-ion batteries based on manganese hexacyanoferrate.
