11 The drawbacks Cd pollution Lower capacity vs. that of Ni-MH batteries Poor charge retention Memory effects

12 Poor charge retention

13 Voltage depression (memory effect) --a reversible failure Especially at high temperature Two-step discharge (lower capacity)

14 Cd may undergo a physical change, increasing the cell resistance. Cutoff voltage is important. Practically, performing discharge before charging. The charger (to match the batteries) is critical.

20 Ni-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) batteries

21 Ni-metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries Using hydrogen instead of Cd. The hydrogen is in metal hydrides (the hydrogen storage materials).

22 The energy storage mechanism It is rechargeable! No H2O is involved in the reaction, so the cycle life is better. Also using 6~8 M aqueous KOH as the electrolyte.

23 Ni-metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries Advantages: higher energy density than Ni-Cd free of Cd memory effect longer cycle than Ni-Cd ~1.3 V high safety simple, convenient, low cost than LIB

24 Ni-metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries Disadvantages : inferior rate performance than Ni-Cd less tolerant of overcharge higher cost than Ni-Cd (due to MH, e.g. LaNi5) heavy

41 Techniques for charge control (1) Timed charge: inexpensive, suitable for applications where the batteries are usually fully discharged (but at low rates). (2) -ΔV(10~20 mv): preferred for Ni-Cd O2 recombination 放熱 T resistance V (3) Temperature (T) detection: usually set at 45, but is influenced by ambient temperature, cell design, charge rate (4)ΔT: the influence of ambient temperature is minimized. (5)ΔT/Δt: preferred for Ni-MH batteries

45 Moreover, charge methods should match the types of batteries from different manufacturers.

46 Cost: Li-ion > Ni-MH > Ni-Cd Cell voltages are different

47 Li-ion batteries Commercialization by Sony in 1990, employing Li intercalation compounds as the positive and negative materials. The rocking-chair batteries.

49 Li-ion batteries Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are comprised of cells that employ lithium intercalation compounds as the positive and negative materials. As a battery is cycled, lithium ions (Li) exchange between the positive and negative electrodes. They are also referred to as rocking-chair batteries as the lithium ions rock back and forth between the positive and negative electrodes as the cell is charged and discharged. The positive electrode material is typically a metal oxide with a layered structure, such as lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2), or a material with a tunneled structure, such as lithium manganese oxide (LiMn2O4), on a current collector of Al foil. The negative electrode material is typically a graphitic carbon, also a layered material, on a Cu current collector. In the charge/ discharge process, lithium ions are inserted or extracted from interstitial space between atomic layers within the active materials.
