Abstract:
A Rechargeable Solid-State Battery
A rechargeable solid-state battery for powering equipment used in manned space activities
will be developed with a mid-discharge voltage of about 3V, a specific energy of
greater than 120 Wh/kg, and a volumetric energy density exceeding 250 Wh/l. The battery
will be safe and is expected to have a discharge rate and cycle-life capabilities
surpassing the needs of the application. Solid-state construction based on electrode
and electrolyte laminates will allow facile scale-up of the battery in a variety
of sizes and shapes.
Potential commercial applications of rechargeable solid-state batteries include portable
radios, televisions, camcorders, computers, telephones, hand-held tools, and ultimately
electric vehicles.
