Description
TIAX will build, characterize and abuse test high energy 18650-size lithium-ion cells employing Fe-substituted LiCoPO4 high voltage cathode material developed by the Army Research Laboratory and compare their performance to control LiCoO2-based lithium-ion cells. TIAX will perform overcharge, external short circuit, uniform heating and crush tests to the specification of the UL1642 standard and will also perform nail penetration and stimulated internal short circuit tests on both types of cells. This Phase II program will also focus on implementing cell chemistry and design improvements to enhance performance, safety and energy density.
