Abstract:
This research prepared an amorphous Co(OH)2 flexible film on Ti foil using plasma-assisted electrolytic deposition within 3.5 min. Amorphous Co(OH)2 structure was determined by X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Its areal capacity testing as the binder and adhesive-free anode of a lithium-ion battery shows that the cycling capacity can reach 2000 μAh/cm2 and remain at 930 μAh/cm2 after 50 charge-discharge cycles, which benefits from the emerging Co(OH)2 active material and amorphous foamlike structure. The research introduced a new method to synthesize amorphous Co(OH)2 as the anode in a fast-manufactured low-cost lithium-ion battery.

Electrolytes: van't Hoff Factor
The colligative properties of a solution depend only on the number, not on the identity, of solute species dissolved. The concentration terms in the equations for various colligative properties (freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, osmotic pressure) pertain to all solute species present in the solution. Nonelectrolytes dissolve physically without dissociation or any other accompanying process. Each molecule that dissolves yields one...
