Lithium-ion system advances

Abstract

During the past year, Eagle-Picher Technologies, LLC (EPT) has extensively studied and improved the lithium-ion chemistry to optimize it for use in aerospace applications. Notable progress has been made in the past several months under a US Government contract awarded in the fall of 1998. Studies have been ongoing on cell components, processing and cell performance. This paper focuses on recent findings of the EPT research and development team.
