Fast charge battery chemistries

Fast Charging Characteristics of Various Lithium Battery Chemistries.44... 

For fast charging, Q is positive (heating) for all battery chemistries, hut for discharging, Q can he positive or negative depending on the current and battery chemistry (dVoc/dT). 

The cells and battery chemistry most suitable for fast charging would be those with high efficiency. 

Table 3.2 Summary of the Performance and Fast Charge Characteristics of Batteries of Various Chemistries... 

Tests were performed on three lithium-ion battery chemistries to determine the fraction of the Ah capacity that could he returned without current taper. The results of the testing are summarized in Table 3.5. The LTO chemistry has a clear advantage over the other chemistries especially compared to the nickel cobalt manganese oxide chemistry for fast charging. 

Figure 2.10 compares the performance of various battery technologies envisaged for HEV and EV applications. Except energy and power density markers, the LEP chemistry shows the best characteristics in terms of fast charge, cycling, temperature runway and safety. 

While the development of primary cells with a lithium anode has been crowned by relatively fast success and such cells have filled their secure rank as power sources for portable devices for public and special purposes, the history of development of lithium rechargeable batteries was full of drama. Generally, the chemistry of secondary batteries in aprotic electrolytes is very close to the chemistry of primary ones. The same processes occur under discharge in both types of batteries anodic dissolution of lithium on the negative electrode and cathodic lithium insertion into the crystalline lattice of the positive electrode material. Electrode processes must occur in the reverse direction under charge of the secondary battery with a negative electrode of metallic lithium. Already at the end of the 1970s, positive electrode materials were found, on which cathodic insertion and anodic extraction of lithium occur practically reversibly. Examples of such compounds are titanium and molybdenum disulfides.
