Introduction
Lithium Ion Battery
 Power sources for portable devices
 Advantages:
 high energy density
 Lightweight
 a long life span
 Commercially used anode - graphite
 Low capacity of 372 mAh per gram,
compared with other materials (CuO 650mAh per gram)

Introduction
Copper Oxide
 High theoretical capacity
 More eco-friendly
In this project we prepared the
samples at various temperatures
and studied the effect of
reheating them to 750 oC
CuO has a Monoclinic structure

Sample 4 – reversible capacity increased.The result is better than
the cell which was heated directly to 750 oC1
Capacities were not as high as cells heated directly to 750oC1
Due to their difference in morphologies
