Three-dimensional tomographic studies supporting physically based modeling of Li-ion batteries

Abstract

Three-dimensional tomographic studies supporting physically based modeling of Li-ion batteriesAbstract:The objective of this proposal is to support the development and deployment of new Navy specificbattery technology. The proposed academic project will develo"p scientifically sound fundamental understanding and characterization of battery chemistries and architectures, thus directly suppor""ting the Navy s broader development and deployment objectives. Although the proposed project is based upon fundamental research, the" effort will be executed to coordinate with and support a Navy initiative to develop and field inherently safe Li-ion battery system"s.At least initially, the 26650-format batteries are expected to be based on a lithium-iron phosphatecathode and a lithium-titanat""e anode. Although there are numerous DoD applications for safe, high-performance, rechargeable batteries, a particular focus of the""proposed effort concerns unmanned undersea vehicle (UUV) technology. In this proposed project, Northwestern University will carry ou""t three-dimensional tomographic imaging, electrochemical testing, and analysis of the battery electrodes, will closely coordinate wi""th the academic team (Colorado School of Mines and Stanford University), and will provide the experimental data input needed for the" modeling activities.
