Research on Electrochemical Energy Conversion Systems

Abstract

This report describes work on two tasks related to improved electrochemical energy conversion systems for vehicle propulsion. The first is related to the lithium-air cell, specifically the reduction of oxygen at a platinum electrode in 1 M LiC104 solution in propylene carbonate. The second task reported on deals with the mathematical treatment of battery data. The testing of a battery to simulate an 8-hour excursion at various load profiles is described. The treatment is extended to the simulation of vehicle propulsion wherein the battery is associated with a 30 KW prime power source.
