Popis: Melanin is a biological organic polymer and has semiconductor properties. The structure of organic semiconductors, including melanin, determines the mechanism of their conductivity, electrical, and catalytic properties. Research the properties of melanin, which are synthesized on the basis of innovative technologies developed by Sunoil-Agro, confirms the innovating prospects for using melanin with goal to modify electrodes of Li-ion batteries. Results of investigation and developed the method modification the cathode materials of Li-ion batteries are presented in this article. The goal is to increasing the energy and power characteristics of LiMn2O4-based cathodes as a result of their modification with melanin.
