High pulse power

LBO has potential applications for second harmonic generation, especially involving a high pulse power or high average power. (48) The defects contributing to the conductivity in the crystals may affect several of the properties of interest for applications, discussed above. Further work is necessary to investigate the relationship of the defects to the properties of LBO. 

Lithium-sulfur-dioxide primary batteries are most ideal for military, aerospace, and satellite communications. These low-cost batteries are best suited for applications in which high pulse-power capability and a wide operating temperature range (from -55 to +70 C) are the basic performance requirements. 

Lithium-thionyl-chloride batteries are most attractive for applications for which design objectives include an ultra-wide operating temperature range (from -55 to +150 C), high volumetric energy density, high pulse-power capability, and long shelf life. These batteries are widely used in commercial and consumer electronics, military communications, transportations, RFID, and memory backup. 

The relatively sluggish kinetics for the anodic oxidation of methanol, the resistive drop across the membrane, formation of CO2 bubble in the anode structure, flooding of cathode structure with water, dryout of the membrane etc., all result in poor high pulse power capability of the micro fuel cell (DMFC) for start-up of today s high-tech electronic devices, such as laptop computers and PDAs. 

Major applications of electrochemical capacitors appear to be in high-pulse power and short-term power holds [19]. Many appliances now incorporate digital components with memory where even a very brief interruption in the power supply could cause the loss of stored information. In such applications, the capacitor can act as a back-up supply for short periods. Batteries are the alternative to the capacitors for these applications, but batteries have a limited lifetime and, therefore, need to be replaced regularly. Instead, electrochemical capacitors are a preferred choice as back-up power supply due to their long lifetime. At present, battery-powered electric vehicles...
