Featured Presentation:
Thermal Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition: An Economical Technology for Silicon Anodes
Roel C.M. Bosch, PhD, Manager Innovations, Roth and Rau B.V., The Netherlands*
For over a decade Roth & Rau has been manufacturing thermal plasma coating systems for ultrafast deposition of silicon-based materials. They currently have several collaborations running on the development of silicon anodes with very good results on capacity and cycle life. A key aspect is that thermal plasma technology allows for high deposition rates of amorphous silicon (>1mu/min) and for very controlled growth in terms of density/porosity and the ability to follow complex 3D morphologies such as nanowires, CNTs and carbon fabrics. * In collaboration with: P. Kudlacek, W. Boonen, B. v. Gerwen, and D.M. Borsa
