Fundamental Battery Studies

Abstract

The objectives of this grant were: (1) to analyze the data taken by the Army Research Laboratory (ARL) on the operation of a Saft lithium-ion battery system being developed for pulsed-power applications; (2) to suggest an experimental strategy for determining the relative contributions of electronic and ionic processes in the initial discharge so that a decision could be made either to stop the project or to understand how to optimize performance, and (3) in the absence of feedback from Saft, to pursue an investigation of alternative cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries.
