Nevertheless, the automotive industry needs batteries with a further improved energy density to develop electric vehicles (EV) with comparable or even higher range than automobiles with ICE (Internal combustion engine). One approach to enhance the energy density is to increase the nickel content of the NMC cathode material. Therefore, NMC-622 cathodes were produced via tape casting containing 80 wt% of active material with a film thickness of 54 μm. The specific capacities were measured using galvanostatic measurements at different charging/discharging currents for cells with structured and unstructured electrodes. An improved lithium-ion diffusion kinetic due to an increased active surface area could be achieved by laser-assisted generation of three-dimensional architectures. Ultrafast laser ablation was used in order to avoid a thermal-induced damage of the active material. It could be shown that laser structuring of electrode material leads to a significant improvement of the electrochemical performance, especially at high charging and discharging currents.","PeriodicalId":6582,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on Manipulation, Manufacturing and Measurement on the Nanoscale (3M-NANO)","volume":"39 1","pages":"57-60"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88201313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The infinite dimensionality of such systems poses new challenges for nanopositioning control, where traditional control methods can not be applied directly. In this paper, a model with time delay on a nanopositioning stage is discussed, and a parameter identification method is further deployed using experiments to determine the time delay and other model parameters. A robust H∞ control design approach is also developed by using Pade expansion to approximate the time delay block. Real time experiments with the proposed control design are conducted on a piezo-actuated nanopositioning stage, where high precision motions, robustness against model uncertainties, as well as hysteresis compensation capability, are demonstrated, which significantly outperforms traditional PI control approach.","PeriodicalId":6582,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on Manipulation, Manufacturing and Measurement on the Nanoscale (3M-NANO)","volume":"84 1","pages":"224-228"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82065489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sample stage is installed on the horizontal axis so that the stamp could move from the ink position to the sample position. A real-time image of the press-down progress is shown on the operation interface, running on a personal computer. The printer could be implemented in printing electronics. With the resolution of 0.01N, the force between the stamp and the sample could be loaded precisely and the whole transfer printing process is visible thus it provides a way to take the force under consideration while investigating the mechanism of the transfer printer.
