Lithium Oxides from Emulsion Explosive

Abstract

The present situation of detonation synthesis and emulsion explosives both at home and abroad is summarized in this paper. To solve the problems in research for lithium ion batteries, we suggested that zinc and lithium oxides should be used as cathode materials for lithium ion batteries. So, we design special emulsion explosives, and synthesize zinc and lithium oxides from an emulsion explosive. It is concluded that nanoparticles of lithium zincate can be synthesized from the unconventional emulsion explosive. Unconventional emulsion explosives for synthesis of zinc and lithium oxides are designed firstly. Furthermore, we succeeded in synthesizing nano-powders of zinc and lithium oxides by explosion at the fist time in the final analysis. Zinc and lithium nanooxides are successfully collected and validated by XRD, FTIR, and TEM.
