- Aluminum foils were cut to areas of 10 by 20 cm to form cathode current collectors.
- the aluminum foils were smoothed out on a glass surface using isopropanol and a straight edge.
- a strip of aluminum foil was placed on one or both of the long edges of the aluminum foil to define the shape of the electrode.
- the anode slurry was placed on each aluminum foil such that it covered the designated area. Using a fixed blade, the cathode slurry was pulled across the aluminum foil to produce a smooth surface. When completed, the structure was removed from the glass and placed on a tray to be baked.
- the structures were placed in a fume hood to slowly remove some of the NMP solvent. Trays of electrodes were next placed in a vacuum oven, which was pumped down to remove the remaining NMP solvent. The electrodes were baked at 150 °C under vacuum overnight. The oven was allowed to cool down, and the electrodes were transferred to a dry room.
- Multi-plate cells having an electrode area of 12.5 cm 2 , 25 cm 2 and 150 cm 2 were fabricated. For example, a cell having 12 anodes and 12 cathodes of 2.5 by 5 cm electrodes and an active geometric area of 150 cm 2 was fabricated.
- the multi-plate cells were then sealed in thermo-plastic bags (shield pack® Inc., of West Monroe, LA). From 0.5 to 1.5 ml of electrolyte containing 1.0 M LiPF 6 in EC/DEC in a 1:2 volume basic ratio was then added to the bags which were then sealed.
- the cells as prepared above were subjected to (a) constant current (cc), (b) constant voltage (cv), and (c) constant current followed by constant voltage (cccv) charging methods, and various performance characteristics of the cell were measured to understand the effects on discharge performance and cycle life performance using a Maccor battery tester.
- FIG. 3 is a Ragone plot of energy density versus power density for the different charge/discharge rates. As can be seen, energy density is strongly influenced by the charge rate, particularly below discharge power densities of 1.0 kW/kg.
- Electrochemical cells having a 12.5 cm 2 electrode area as prepared above were charged at 3 mA/cm 2 (0.35 kW/kg) to 3.35 V and then discharged at various rates to 1.65 V at 25 °C. These results are shown in FIG. 1.
- Test 2 Temperature Effects The following tests were performed to understand the influence of temperature on performance characteristics of the electrochemical cells. Four electrochemical cells having a 12.5 cm 2 electrode area as prepared above were charged at 2 mA/cm 2 to 3.45 V, and then discharged at various rates to 2.00 V at respective temperatures of -40, -30, -20 and 25 °C. The results from this test are shown in FIG. 4, which is a Ragone plot of energy density versus power density for the different charge/discharge temperatures. The poor performance at low temperatures is believed to be due to an increase in the resistance of the electrolyte.
- FIG. 5 is a graph of discharge energy versus number of cycles. As can be seen, the cell performed well with a fade rate of about 0.2% per one thousand cycles after initial loss. The fade appears to be due to the increased internal cell resistance. The initial drop in performance is most likely due to the corrosion of current collectors and the slight dissolution of the binder.
- Cell-A and Cell-B Two cells having a 25 cm 2 electrode area as prepared above were repeatedly charged at a constant voltage of 3.45 V for 40 seconds, and then discharged at a rate of 40 mA/cm 2 to 2.00 V, at ambient temperature.
- the cycle life performance of the cells is shown in FIG. 7.
- the difference in energy density between the two cells is believed to be due to the variation in active material loading in the electrodes.
- Each of the cells exhibited small cyclical variations in discharge energy density which correspond to the time of day and ambient temperature at such time. The data indicates that the cells can be charged at very high rates with little adverse effect on the cycle life performance.
- Test 6 Energy Density as a Function of Time This test was conducted to study the effects of charge time on discharge energy.
- a cell having a 150 cm 2 electrode area as prepared above was charged at room temperature at a rate of 4 mA/cm 2 to 3.40 V, with the charge being maintained at a constant voltage of 3.40 V for various time periods before being discharged at 10 mA/cm 2 to 2.00 V.
- the results of this test are shown in FIG. 8, which is a graph of discharge energy versus charge time. As shown in FIG. 8, the cell was charged approximately to 95% of its capacity within 45 minutes. In certain applications, very high charge currents generated under a constant voltage charge may not be desirable. In this test, therefore, the cells were charged under constant current to a fixed cell voltage followed by a constant voltage.
- Test 7 Cycle Life Performance A cell having a 150 cm 2 electrode area as prepared above was charged at a rate of 30 mA/cm 2 to 3.45 V, followed by holding the voltage constant at 3.45 V for 15 seconds, and then a constant current discharge to 2.00 V at a rate of 30 mA/cm 2 . This cycle was repeatedly performed at 15 °C.
- FIG. 9 is a graph of discharge energy versus number of cycles. As shown, the discharge energy increased slightly from one to about 150 cycles, but remained essentially constant at about 5.7 Wh/kg thereafter. This initial increase in energy is believed to be due to the heat generation under high rate charge and discharge conditions.
- the electrochemical cells in accordance with the invention can be charged and discharged at very high rates like electrochemical capacitors.
- the charge mode appears to have little effect on the cycle life.
- the cells provide high energy densities and low self- discharge, as obtained with batteries. For example, these cells can deliver 4 Wh/kg at a discharge power density of 0.5 kW/kg when charged only for 20 seconds, and 20 Wh/kg at a discharge power density of 0.5 kW/kg when charged for 60 minutes.
- electrochemical cells in accordance with the invention particularly suitable for example, as a battery in cellular or other forms of mobile telephones; in electrically powered vehicles such as a pure electric vehicle, a hybrid electric vehicle or a power assisted electric vehicle (e.g., automobiles, trucks, mopeds, motorcycles powered by an engine and a battery or by a fuel cell and a battery); in medical devices; in power tools; and in security systems such a personal computer or building security systems; in security cards or credit cards which use an internal power supply; and in backup power supplies and SLI (starting lighting ignition) batteries.
- the invention is applicable to any type of device where a capacitor or battery are used.
