Physically Based Modeling of Li-ion Batteries

Abstract

Physically Based Modeling of Li-ion BatteriesThe objective of this proposal is to support the development and deployment of new Navy-specificbattery technology. The proposed academic project will develop scientifically sound fundamentalunderstanding and charac"terization of battery chemistries and architectures, thus directly supporting theNavy s broader development and deployment objectiv"es. The proposed academic team will have closelycoordinated experimental and modeling elements. The cooperative effort includes the" Colorado Schoolof Mines, Northwestern University and Stanford University. The scope for the Colorado School ofMines is dominantly"" in physically based modeling, dynamic control and monitoring. Although theproposed project is based upon fundamental research, the" effort will be executed to coordinate with andsupport 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-phosphate cathode and a lithiumtitanate""anode. Although there are numerous DoD applications for safe, high-performance, rechargeablebatteries, a particular focus of the p"roposed effort concerns unmanned undersea vehicle (UUV)technology.
