Abstract

Bolloré Technologies, EDF and CEA/CEREM started in 1993 a program for the development of a lithium polymer battery technology with a first objective: producing reproducible 40 Ah single cells. A cell design was selected and a manufacturing process based on extrusion was built up. 40 Ah single cells were produced by this process and are undergoing tests. The cycleability obtained at 0.4 and 4 Ah is between 300 and 400 cycles, is still in progress, with a specific capacity around 150 mAh/g of cathodic vanadium oxide. Power tests, thermal modelling and specific energy projections based on the same electrochemical performances confirm the interest of the lithium polymer battery for electric vehicle application.

    Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) generally consist of ionically-conducting solutions of a lithium salt in a polymer host matrix [148]. Apart from the inherent advantages of SEs in terms of safety, the use of SPEs brings additional benefits related to the possibility of using plastic processing techniques (e.g. co-extrusion and 3D-printing) [149–151] and to the higher flexibility of polymer-type cells [152]. SPEs have been thoroughly studied for the last forty years, and for a detailed account the reader is referred to any of the most recent reviews on the topic [57–65].

    While the development of multivalent cation based technologies would be mostly relevant in terms of energy density if metal anodes are being used [96], the use of Ca, Mg or Al metal implies significant technological challenges. Indeed, in contrast to Li metal that could be commercialized [97], Ca, Mg or Al would require drastic atmosphere control procedures during cell assembly. Any traces of oxygen, water, or any other kind of contaminant which could react at the electrode surface could completely block or at least significantly lower the kinetics of the plating/stripping process.

    Special attention needs to be drawn to the crucibles and furnaces used in order to reduce unwanted contamination [28]. To reduce or eliminate the solvent content, a high-viscosity mixture can be prepared using a compounding process, commonly known from polymer processing industries and already applied for polymer electrolytes [80,81]. Here, solid electrolyte particles and polymer binders are dispersed at elevated temperatures to form a highly viscous paste.
