Objective
WORK ON LI/S BATTERIES IN THE FIRST PHASE 1977 - 1979 RESULTED IN AN ENERGY DENSITY OF 80 WH/KG AND A LIFETIME OF 100 CYCLES. ONE OF THE DRAWBACKS OF THIS BATTERY WAS THE USE OF BORON-NITRIDE AS A SEPARATOR (A POROUS ELECTRICAL INSULATOR BETWEEN ELECTRODES WHICH PERMITS ION CONDUCTION). WITH BORON-NITRIDE, WHICH IS VERY EXPENSIVE, A STORAGE CAPACITY OF ONE KWH WOULD COST AROUND 1,000 DOLLARS. A MEW SEPARATOR MATERIAL MGO HAS NOW BEEN IDENTIFIED WHICH IS SATISFACTORY AND COSTS TWO ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE LESS. INVESTIGATIONS ALSO LEAD TO THE CONCLUSION THAT A TERNARY MOLTEN SALT LIF-LICL-LIBR IS TO PREFERRED OVER LICL-KCL USED UP TILL NOW. LICL-KCL HAS THE DISADVANTAGE THAT AT HIGH CURRENT DENSITIES, KCI CAN CRYSTALLIZE IN THE PORES OF THE SEPARATOR. WITH TECHNICAL CELLS (140 AH, 5 H. DISCHARGE RATE) LIFETIMES OF 400 CYCLES HAVE BEEN OBTAINED. THESE CELLS HAD ENERGY DENSITIES OF 100 WH/KG. AFTER FOUR THERMAL CYCLES BETWEEN 450 DEGREES C AND ROOM TEMPERATURES, THE BATTERY DID NOT SHOW ANY DAMAGE. SAFETY ASPECTS HAVE BEEN INVESTIGATED AND LEAD TO THE CONCLUSION THAT LIAL/FES BATTERIES WILL NOT HAVE AN EXTRA RISK AS COMPARED TO LEAD ACID BATTERIES. THE MATERIALS COST OF LIAL/FES BATTERIES IS ESTIMATED TO BE BETWEEN 60 AND 130 DM/KWH (50 % IS DUE TO THE LI COMPOUNDS). IT IS THEREFORE EXPECTED THAT THE COST OF A BATTERY WILL BE COMPARABLE WITH THE COST OF NA/S, NI/FE AND LEAD ACID BATTERIES WHICH LIES AROUND 86, 300-350 AND 150-200 DM/KWH. A DESIGN CONCEPT OF A MODULE CONSISTING OF 10 CELLS OF 200 AH HAS BEEN DEVELOPED AND THE THERMAL MANAGEMENT OF A 24 KW BATTERY HAS BEEN INVESTIGATED.
