STTR PHASE I: Advanced 5V Cathodes for High-Energy (~350Wh/kg) Lithium-Ion Batteries Applied in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs)

这个小型企业技术转移（STTR）第一阶段项目将开发用于混合动力电动汽车的锂离子电池（LIB）应用。该项目将开发具有增强容量的先进5伏阴极。5伏阴极的实施将提高比能量，这将有助于锂离子电池的发展，其能量高达每公斤350瓦时。具有如此高比能量的电池系统在便携式电子产品市场（笔记本电脑、移动电话、便携式医疗设备等）以及其他消费和军事应用中是非常可取的。该项目的更广泛影响/商业潜力是开发安全、廉价、高能量密度的锂离子电池，这是商业消费市场和军事应用所迫切需要的。在商业应用中，电动汽车（EV）市场和混合动力汽车（HEV）应用将受益于安全、可靠和高性能的锂离子电池。

This Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project will develop lithium-ion battery (LIB) applications for hybrid electric vehicles. The project will develop an advanced 5 volt cathode with enhanced capacity. The implementation of 5 volt cathodes will enhanced specific energy will contribute to the development of lithium-ion batteries with energies as high as 350 watt-hours per kilogram. Battery systems with such high specific energies will be highly desirable on the portable electronics market (notebooks, cellular phones, portable medical devices, etc.) and in other consumer and military applications.The broader impact/commercial potential of this project is the development of safe and inexpensive lithium-ion battery with high energy density that is critically needed for the commercial consumer market and for military applications. Among commercial applications electric vehicles (EV) market and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) applications would benefit from the safe, reliable and high-performance lithium-ion batteries.
