Advanced multi-length characterization of inherently safe lithium-ion battery

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The objective of this proposal is to support the development and deployment of new Navy-specific battery technology. The proposed academic project will develop scientifically sound fundamental understanding and characterization of battery chemistries and architectures, thus directly supporting the Navy s broader development and deployment objectives. The proposed academic team will have closely coordinated experimental and modeling elements.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 systems. At least initially, the 26650-format batteries are expected to be based on a lithium-iron-phosphate cathode and a lithium-titanate 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.
