Improvement in Performance Parameters of Lithium Rechargeable Batteries

2 Improvement in Performance Parameters of Lithium Rechargeable Batteries 

Performance enhancement in lithium-based batteries using liquid electrolytes is of significant importance and must be investigated. On the basis of research studies performed by the author, the enhancement in performance parameters due to various attribute categories have been identified and are briefly summarized in Table 7.11. 

Power density High surface-area-to-volume ratio High cationic transport number (typical number is 0.5) Monolithic low-impedance cell 

Electrical energy density High-voltage composite bipolar cathode 

Manufacturing capability High-speed continuous process
