Title: Energy Storage Systems - Li-ion Battery, Supercapacitor, Li-ion Capacitor
Abstract: Much of current research on improved Li-ion batteries focuses on synthesizing and investigating new electrode materials. However, most of the testing techniques used to assess the performance of these materials treat the battery as a black box, characterizing many of the performance parameters encountered outside the batteries, but not shedding a sufficient amount of light on the mechanisms inside the batteries that cause these external behaviors. Electrochemical testing was carried out on half-cells of different common cathode and anode materials used in Li-ion batteries. The results of these tests provide the information needed to simulate the performance of each of these materials in a pseudo-two-dimensional physics-based electrochemical model. Such a model is able to simulate the internal mass transport inside the battery, giving researchers more information about the properties and performance of these materials than could be obtained by the experimental testing of real cells alone. In addition, Supercapacitor, Li-ion Capacitor as relatively new emerging technology and the relevant research work will also be introduced.
