Properties and Performance Attributes of Novel Co-extruded Polyolefi n Battery Separator Materials
Jun 09 , 2021
Richard S. Baldwin Glenn Research Center, Cleveland, Ohio Impedance Measurement Cell Fabrication A modified 2325 coin cell configuration was employed as the cell fixture for conductivity and impedance (i.e., electrical resistance) measurements of electrolyte-wetted separator samples over the desired temperature range. This test configuration was selected as it provides a constant and reproducible ...

An Approach to Make Macroporous Metal Sheets as Current Collectors for Lithium-Ion Batteries
Jun 23 , 2021
The freestanding, laminated film was sintered in air by increasing the temperature of the furnace at a slow rate to 1000°C, holding at1000°C for 1 h, and then decreasing the temperature at a rate of5°C/min to room temperature. This high temperature treatment was done to completely burn all carbon and organic materials to generate a porous structure and to simultaneously allow CuO particles to conn...
