Why does Lithium iron phosphate, a candidate for use in future Lithium batteries, conduct electricity despite being an insulating material? Chemists have shed light on this paradox. Their experimentally verified "domino-cascade model" shows that local stresses within the material allow electrical and ionic conduction to spread from one area to the next, making the battery function. These results open new horizons in the search for improved battery electrode materials and help explain how tomorrow's electric car batteries work. ... Source: www.moreover.com --- 17 days ago

The Lithium iron phosphate nanoparticles (100 nm) making up the agglomerate are individually transformed though the “domino-cascade process” as the battery is charged. Lithium iron phosphate is one of the promising cathode materials for use in next-generation Lithium-ion batteries, given its environmentally friendly properties, lower cost and good thermal stability. With these batteries, Lithium intercalation (the extraction and insertion of Lithium ions from and into the electrode materials that is the basis for charge/discharge cycles) proceeds through a two-phase reaction between compositions very close to LiFePO4 and FePO4. Both of these end member phases are very poor electronic and ionic conductors, however, raising the question of how these batteries manage to conduct electricity effectively.Researchers at France’s CNRS (Centre national de la recherche scientifique), in collaboration with a team from CEA-Liten, have shed light on this seeming paradox and experimentally verified a “domino-cascade” model that shows local stresses within the material allow electrical and ionic conduction to spread from one area of the cathode material to the next, making the battery function. The domino-cascade process identified by the researchers occurs as soon as stresses are present at the interface between the discharging material and the material in the discharged state. Electrical and ionic conduction is then extremely rapid in the interfacia ...

Filed under: Misc. Gadgets While there's plenty of folks out there focused on making Lithium-ion batteries safer and longer-lasting , there's also thankfully some dedicated to making 'em cheaper, which is especially welcome when we're talking about the expensive batteries powering cars. Among those in the latter camp is University of Texas at Austin professor Arumugam Manthiram, who has devised a method of using microwaves to heat a concoction of commercially available chemicals, which ultimately results in the Rorschach test of rod-shaped particles of Lithium iron phosphate pictured above. While the use of Lithium iron phosphate instead of the more commonly used Lithium cobalt oxide apparently cuts back on the total amount of energy the batteries can store, it is apparently particularly well-suited to delivering large bursts of power, which should make the batteries ideal for use in hybrid vehicles. What's more, while the actual cost of the materials may not be much cheaper than other solutions, the sheer speed at which Manthiram's process works could allow for higher production rates from the same amount of equipment, which should result in cheaper batteries by the time they roll off the assembly line.

Filed under: EV/Plug-in , Manufacturing/Plants , Mitsubishi , Japan Click above for a high-res gallery of the Mitsuibshi i MiEV Once again showing how important automakers see the Lithium ion battery is an announcement from Yuasa and Mitsubishi that their joint venture battery plant needs to be much larger than originally planned. In fact, the two companies have quintupled planned output before a single battery has even been manufactured. Mitsubishi is expecting high demand for its upcoming i-MiEV electric car, which should go on sale in Japan sometime in 2009 . We wonder how much impact Japan Post's plan to use an all electric fleet had in this decision. At the outset, the plant will cost about 4 billion yen ($36.94 million) and be able to produce enough packs for 10,000 EV's. By 2012, an additional 10 billion yen ($92 million or so) will have been spent to double that capacity. In order to make room for a plant this large, Yuasa is said to be searching for a new site in Japan.
