“…Due to the attractive performance characteristics, lithium-ion batteries have been identified as the battery chemistry of choice for a number of future applications, including planetary orbiters, rovers and landers [1]. The state-of-art aerospace battery technologies that were employed prior to the emergence of Li-ion batteries include nickelhydrogen (Ni-H 2 ), nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd), and silver zinc (Ag-Zn) secondary batteries.…”

“…This technology was originally developed under a NASA-DoD consortium (including the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, USAF-WPAFB, and NASA-GRC) established to develop aerospace quality lithium-ion cells/batteries [1,8,9]. The chemistry was initially developed and demonstrated for the 2001 Mars surveyor program (MSP'01) lander mission, and consists of mesocarbon microbeads (MCMB) anode and LiNi x Co 1Àx O 2 cathode plates, and a low temperature electrolyte developed at JPL, encased in a hermetically sealed prismatic stainless steel can [10][11][12][13].…”

SUMMARYLithium-ion batteries have been used on a number of NASA missions and have been base-lined for use on a number of up-coming aerospace applications. The Li-ion cells and batteries that have been developed together with Yardney Technical Products are especially attractive due to their high specific energy and energy density, good performance over a wide operating temperature range, as well as their good calendar and cycle life performance. However, given that the Li-ion technology is relatively new to the aerospace community and that mature, large capacity prototype cells have continued to evolve over the last 10 years, real-time performance test data is especially valuable in demonstrating the capabilities over a number of environmental and application specific conditions. For this reason, we have focused on performing a number of generic and mission specific performance life tests to establish the viability of the technology to meet current and future applications. In this work, we will describe the results of a number of generic cycle life tests, including 100% depth-of-discharge (DOD) cycling at various temperatures, partial DOD cycling simulating planetary orbiters and low earth orbit (LEO) satellite conditions, as well as partial DOD mission specific testing. We will also describe the results obtained from a number of calendar life tests where the cells were stored under different conditions, such as at different temperatures and different storage modes (i.e. open circuit voltage (OCV) conditions and storage under trickle charge conditions). Methods to quantify the capacity degradation and impedance growth of the batteries when subjected to different electrical and environmental conditions will be discussed, as well as, possible degradation mechanisms that can lead to reduced lifetime.

“…Battery technology has emerged over the past few years as one of the most advanced power sources meeting the requirements of portable, high energy density, specific capacity, high working potential, good cycling behavior, power environment friendly, etc. (Broussely 1999;Tamura and Horiba 1999;Tanake et al 2001;Marsh et al 2001). The most efficient hybrid vehicles lack power and models that accelerate quickly do so with the assistance of large internal combustion engines.…”

In the present study, nanostructuring effect of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on electrochemical properties of coal tar pitch (CTP) based carbon foam (CFoam) was investigated. The different weight fractions of MWCNTs were mixed with CTP and foam was developed from the mixture of CTP and MWCNTs by sacrificial template technique and heat treated at 1,400 and 2,500°C in inert atmosphere. These foams were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and potentiostat PARSTAT for cyclic voltammetry. It was observed that, bulk density of CFoam increases with increasing MWCNTs content and decreases after certain amount. The MWCNTs influence the morphology of CFoam and increase the width of ligaments as well as surface area. During the heat treatment, stresses exerting at MWCNTs/ carbon interface accelerate ordering of the graphene layer which have positive effect on the electrochemical properties of CFoam. The current density increases from 475 to 675 mA/cm 2 of 1,400°C heat treated and 95 to 210 mA/cm 2 of 2,500°C heat-treated CFoam with 1 wt% MWCNTs. The specific capacitance was decreases with increasing the scan rate from 100 to 1,000 mV/s. In case of 1 % MWCNTs content CFoam the specific capacitance at the scan rate 100 mV/s was increased from 850 to 1,250 lF/cm 2 and 48 to 340 lF/cm 2 of CFoam heat treated at 1,400°C and 2,500°C respectively. Thus, the higher value surface area and current density of MWCNTs-incorporated CFoam heat treated to 1,400°C can be suitable for lead acid battery electrode with improved charging capability.
