Preliminary Evaluations of Polymer-Based Lithium Battery Electroytes under Development for the Polymer Electrolyte Rechargeable Systems Program

摘要

In fiscal year 2000, NASA, established a program to develop the next generation, lithium-based, polymer electrolyte batteries for aerospace applications. The goal of this program, known as PERS, Polymer Rechargeable Energy Systems, is to develop a space-qualified, advanced battery system embodying polymer electrolyte (SPE) and lithium-based electrode technologies and to establish world-class domestic manufacturing capabilities for advanced batteries with improved performance characteristics that address NASA's future aerospace battery requirements. A NASA Research Announcement (NRA) was released in FYOO to solicit efforts to address the development of the polymer electrolytes, cathodes and anodes for PERS batteries.
