Cell Performance of Ultra-Thin Polymer Cathode Systems: Part 1. Anion Intercalating Polymer Cathode
Abstract
Theoretical energy and power density values for thin film Li/liquid electrolyte/polymer cell systems were calculated by designing a specific cell model for a both prismatic cell with only the basic cell element (no hardware) and a bipolar-design cell with some practical hardware. The cell performance is compared for three different cathode polymer materials, viz., polyaniline, polypyrrole, and polyvinylferrocene. The energy and power densities are estimated as a function of cathode thickness, active cell area, and initial concentration of electrolyte for very thin cathode films (cathode thickness). For the practical cell, the authors used a bipolar design, for which the energy and the power were calculated also as a function of the number of bipolar units (X). Keywords: Conductive polymer, Battery, Lithium.
