Database and models of electrolyte solutions for lithium battery
Transport and thermodynamic properties of electrolyte solutions are very essential for development and design of lithium ion or lithium polymer batteries. An electrolyte database for lithium battery, which includes a quite number of organic solvents, lithium electrolytes and possible by-products (e.g. CO2), has been compiled. Appropriate models have been evaluated for representing the variety of properties for solvents and electrolyte solutions, such as, conductivity, transference number, diffusivity, dissociation constant and so on. particular attention has been given on conductivity in this paper, considering its essential importance for battery; several typical examples have been presented and discussed.
