Objective
Objectives and content
The development of Electric Vehicle is presently limited by the availability of energy storage batteries with high level performances adapted for the application (Specific Energy, Power density, Cycling capability) and Low Cost.
Among the different battery technologies that are being considered, the Lithium Carbon using liquid electrolyte appears to be the most promising system for different applications and specially to meet the E.V. application requirements. This conclusion has been recently confirmed by European car manufacturers coming after a comparative analysis of the different potential technologies.
The objectives of this RTD project is to optimize the most critical materials and associated technologies in order to:
- Improve and control the system performances specially:
- the capacity and its decrease in cycling,
- the characteristics at temperatures different from room temperature: irreversible self discharge at high temperature (>45°C) and discharge rate at low temperature (-30°C).
- Prepare the cost reduction.
The major part of the electrochemical components cost is ascribed to specific materials and their processing: positive material, electrolyte, separator. The material specifications and the factors that affect the cost must be studied and controlled in order to reach the objectives required for an industrial step.
The programme must prepare, for Electric vehicle and other applications, the development phase of the Lithium Carbon technology anticipated for 1998 . The technical results obtained will be transferred by the end of the project to the Development Units of each industrial company involved in the project.
The consortium includes:
- Industrial companies involved in materials fabrication (SEDEMA, SOLVAY, MERCK),
- An industrial research laboratory for evaluation and validation of proposed improvements (AAR),
- A battery manufacturer to confirm the results at a prototype cell level (SAFT), . A participation from University laboratories for some basic supports.
