Characterization of Rechargeable Lithium Cells. Part 1. Lithium/Niobium Triselenide Chemistry
Abstract
The Naval Surface Warfare Center is evaluating industry's emerging lithium rechargeable battery technology for use in underwater vehicle applications. The battery industry typically characterizes cells for consumer applications requiring low rate cycling at room temperature and rarely provides high rate, low temperature data. High rate and low temperature performance of AT&T's lithium/niobium triselenide(Li/NbSe3)AA cells is reported here. At 25 deg C and 1O mA/sq cm (approximately the 3C rate), delivered energy densities were as high as 30 Wh/lb. However, these lithium cells proved vulnerable to performance loss in low temperature (O deg C), high discharge rate cycling.
