Lithium batteries Secondary

Secondary batteries can be electrically charged, and these batteries can offer savings in costs and resources. Recently, lithium-ion and nickel-metal hydride batteries have been developed, and are used with the other secondary batteries, such as nickel-cadmium, lead-acid, and coin-type lithium secondary batteries. 

An Li-Al Alloy was investigated for use as a negative electrode material for lithium secondary batteries. Figure 41 shows the cycle performance of a Li-Al electrode at 6% depth of discharge (DOD). The Li-Al alloy was prepared by an electrochemical method. The life of this electrode was only 250 cycles, and the Li-Al alloy was not adequate as a negative material for a practical lithium battery.

Lithium secondary batteries can be classified into three types, a liquid type battery using liquid electrolytes, a gel type battery using gel electrolytes mixed with polymer and liquid, and a solid type battery using polymer electrolytes. The types of separators used in different types of secondary lithium batteries are shown in Table 1. The liquid lithium-ion cell uses microporous polyolefin separators while the gel polymer lithium-ion cells either use a PVdF separator (e.g. PLION cells) or PVdF coated microporous polyolefin separators. The PLION cells use PVdF loaded with silica and plasticizer as separator. The microporous structure is formed by removing the plasticizer and then filling with liquid electrolyte. They are also characterized as plasticized electrolyte. In solid polymer lithium-ion cells, the solid electrolyte acts as both electrolyte and separator.

Because of the importance of high-performance secondary batteries, the techniques of the secondary lithium batteries are still making rapid progresses. Lithium polymer secondary batteries, having gel-polymer electrolytes, are advantageous in that the rigid metal container is not essential. Thus, all-plastic thin lithium secondary batteries are now available.

The molecular orbital (MO) calculations within the PM3 method, using a MOP AC package, provided an explanation of the advantages of a new redox system, poly(l,4-phenylene-l,2,4-dithiazolium-3, 5 -yl) (PPDTA), as a cathode material for high-capacity lithium secondary batteries in comparison with three typical polymer conductors (poly-/>-phenylene, polypyrrole, and polythiophene). The MO calculation revealed that the S-S bond in the 1,2,4-dithiazo-lium moiety of PPDTA caused gap narrowing and a downshift of HOMO and LUMO levels, which is consistent with the electrochemical experiment (HOMO = highest occupied molecular orbital LUMO = lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) <2001MI2305>.

Ion conducting polymers may be preferable in these devices electrolytes because of their flexibility, moldability, easy fabrication and chemical stability (for the same reasons that they have been applied to lithium secondary batteries [19,48,49]). The gel electrolyte systems, which consist of a polymeric matrix, organic solvent (plasticizer) and supporting electrolyte, show high ionic conductivity about 10 5 S cnr1 at ambient temperature and have sufficient mechanical strength [5,7,50,51], Therefore, the gel electrolyte systems are superior to solid polymer electrolytes and organic solvent-based electrolytes as batteries and capacitor materials for ambient temperature operation. 

Not yet widely exploited, but with quite some potential for fine-tuning of properties certainly is the stepwise fluorination of oxides. With LiCo02 cathode material for use in lithium secondary batteries, addition of small amounts of LiF considerably improved electrochemical properties [350], However, further exploitation is needed to elucidate if improvements are due to improved particle size and crystallinity or also due to minor fluorine content of the material. Lithium batteries are discussed in consecutive Chapters 15 and 16.
