Simulation of battery components and interfaces on the atomic scale: examples of what we can learn

摘要: Abstract In the lithium polymer advanced battery program, stated target of 10 −3 (Ω cm) −1 for electrolytes at room temperatures is, to our knowledge, not attained by any in current use prototypes, without adding plasticizers [F. Gray, Solid Polymer Electrolytes, VCH, New York, 1991, 108–111] or raising temperature. program on which progress is reported here, we are trying elucidate mechanism ion transport one prototype electrolytes, expectation that a better understanding will reveal promising directions solution this engineering problem. We also beginning studies polymer–cathode interface.
