Amine oxide Amine oxide An amine oxide, also known as amine-"N"-oxide and "N"-oxide, is a chemical compound that contains the functional group RN−O, an N−O coordinate covalent bond with three additional hydrogen and/or hydrocarbon side chains attached to N. Sometimes it is written as RN→O or, wrongly, as RN=O. In the strict sense, the term "amine oxide" applies only to oxides of tertiary amines. Sometimes it is also used for the analogous derivatives of primary and secondary amines. Examples of amine oxides include pyridine-"N"-oxide, a water-soluble crystalline solid with melting point 62–67 °C, and "N"-methylmorpholine "N"-oxide, which is an oxidant. Amine oxides
Lithium ion manganese oxide battery Lithium ion manganese oxide battery A Lithium ion manganese oxide battery is a lithium ion cell that uses manganese dioxide, , as the primary cathode material. They function through the same intercalation/de-intercalation mechanism as other commercialized secondary battery technologies, such as . They are a promising technology as their manganese-oxide components are earth-abundant, inexpensive, non-toxic, and provide better thermal stability. One of the more prominent compounds is , a lithium-manganese-oxide based material with a spinel structure (space group Fd3m). In addition to being a cheap and non-toxic alternative material, the spinel structure of provides a three-dimensional framework for the insertion
