Effects Of Metal Sulfate Electrolyte Additives On Charge Acceptance In Agm Batteries, Alex Drake
Theses and Dissertations
In the United States the transportation sector is the second largest source of greenhouse gas emissions, making up 27% of the total greenhouse gas emitted in 2015. Within the transportation sector passenger vehicles make up the largest percentage of emissions at 41.6% [1]. To help curb passenger vehicle CO2 emissions manufacturers are adopting increasing amounts of hybrid technology. Micro-hybrid technology utilizes a typical internal combustion engine and lead-acid battery partnered with Start-Stop technology and regenerative breaking to decrease emissions by 5-12%. To keep up with the electrical demands of this type of use, advanced lead acid batteries in the form …
Analysis Of The Properties Of Supercapacitors And Possible Applications For The Technology, Vincent Oliveto
Analysis Of The Properties Of Supercapacitors And Possible Applications For The Technology, Vincent Oliveto
Honors Theses
Supercapacitors have a lot of excellent qualities that would make them a great substitute for batteries when it comes to electrical energy storage systems. Supercapacitors can discharge and charge very rapidly, they have a lifespan in the realm of millions of cycles, and they are much more efficient than batteries. Unfortunately, they cannot hold nearly as much charge as batteries. This paper seeks to further investigate the properties of supercapacitor technology and the best way to exploit these properties with the purpose of integrating them into renewable energy systems. There is currently a lot of research occurring around the world …

With the rise of electric vehicles and increasing dependence on mobile electronics, the demands for lithium-ion batteries have followed in tandem for their high energy and power densities. However, traditional lithium-ion batteries consisting of liquid electrolytes have limited operating temperatures and are susceptible to ignition and subsequent fires. Recently, battery research has diverged into solid state chemistry to address the aforementioned issues. In this research, we systematically investigate a series of ceramic/polymer lithium-ion conducting composite electrolytes, i.e. Li1.4Al0.4Ge1.6(PO4)3 /lithiated polyethylene oxide (LAGP/PEO). Lithiated PEO was prepared with two different lithium salts, LiBF4 and LITFSI. The impacts of the LAGP on …
