This review discusses the contribution of physical vapor deposition (PVD) processes to the
development of electrochemical energy storage systems with emphasis on solid‐state …

Abstract Fe-Mn-Si alloys prepared by ball milling were investigated as negative electrodes
for Li-ion batteries. X-ray diffraction and room temperature 57 Fe Mössbauer measurements …

Fe x Si 1-x thin films with 0≤ x≤ 0.46 have been prepared by combinatorial sputtering and
their electrochemical properties have been studied in Li half-cells. X-ray diffraction showed …

In the present work three pseudobinary libraries of the Sn-Si-C system were produced using
combinatorial methods. X-ray diffraction was used to study the structure of these libraries …

Sn–Co–C alloys are now used as negative electrodes in the latest generation of Li-ion
batteries, although not much is known about the phases present in the materials, their micro …

Abstract Thin-film Fe-Si-Zn libraries were investigated as negative electrode materials for Li-
ion batteries using combinatorial and high-throughput techniques. X-ray diffraction and …

A modified version of the effective heat of formation (EHF) model of Pretorius et al. is
presented to predict phase formation in codeposited silicon-transition metal films. The EHF …

In this second part of a two-part study of the synthesis, microstructure and electrochemical
properties of ball milled silicon-tungsten alloys (Si 100-x W x, x= 15, 20, 25, 30), the …

A composite negative electrode for lithium ion batteries was made by adhering ball milled Si-
Fe alloy particles with a glass ionomer cement. The composite thus formed was robust and …

Abstract Amorphous Fe-Si thin films showing interesting semiconductor properties can be
formed over a large composition range near β-FeSi 2. In the present study, amorphous Fe …
