Rechargeable high-temperature batteries [Book Chapter]
- Brookhaven National Lab. (BNL), Upton, NY (United States)
There has been growing research and development effort in the area of high-specific-energy, high-specific-power rechargeable batteries since the mid 1960s and it has been used in electric vehicles, electric utility networks, and solar- and wind-powered electric generator systems. Nonaqueous systems have been found to be the most attractive candidates for the above relatively large-scale applications. Only the high-temperature cells offer the attractive combination of features sought for the cited applications: a specific energy above 100 Wh/kg, a specific power above 100 W/kg, a cycle life in excess of 500 cycles (at 100% depth of discharge), and a projected cost of less than $50† per kWh of energy storage capability.
