Description
TIAX will build, characterize and abuse test lithium-ion cells employing LiCoPO4 cathodes and control metal-oxide based cathodes (such as LiCoO2 ) opposite graphite anodes. In Phase I, TIAX will perform overcharge and external short circuit tests to the specification of the UL1642 standard and will also perform nail penetration tests on both types of cells. In the option program TIAX will perform the UL1642 heating test and the TIAX stimulated internal short circuit test on both types of cells. The Phase II program will focus on implementing cell chemistry and design improvements to enhance performance, safety and energy density.
