A DOD RESEARCH PROGRAM FOR ELECTROCHEMICAL SCIENCE WITH APPLICATIONS TO ENERGY STORAGE AND CONVERSION.

Abstract

The state of the art of batteries and fuel cells is reviewed in some detail. The problem areas in which difficulties are being experienced, and which are limiting the fruitful use of electrochemical devices, are given in detail. The contributing or limiting factors, promising approaches to these problems, and related fundamental research areas are identified. A series of recommendations is made for systematically improving greatly the position of the United States in electrochemical technology and science. The cost of this program is outlined. Details are given in depth of the precise areas and character of the programs suggested in the recommendations. Comparisons are made with the existing program, which is felt to be greatly in need of modification. (Author)
