“Lithium rechargeable batteries for large-scale applications”

Professor Yet-Ming Chiang
Department of Materials Science and Engineering

Wednesday, November 8, 2006
12:00 - 1:30 pm
E40-496

High levels of gravimetric and volumetric energy (>100 Wh/kg, >200 Wh/ 
L) have historically differentiated lithium rechargeable batteries  
from other chemistries, but recently, systems of extremely high power  
have (>3 kW/kg) have also been developed.  For widespread adoption in  
large systems (e.g., greater than laptop scale) additional key  
requirements are safety, longevity, and low initial and life-cycle  
cost.  This talk will discuss the potential for and recent progress  
towards developing such systems using lithium-ion chemistry based on  
nanoscale phosphates.  Technological issues as well as key aspects of  
the underlying materials science enabling high performance will be  
discussed.

Bring your lunch - light refreshment will be provided.
