A highly flexible polymer fibre battery
نویسندگان
چکیده
The development of highly flexible fibre batteries based on conducting polymers is described. The performance of cells with polypyrrole–hexafluorophosphate (PPy/PF6) and polypyrrole–polystyrenesulfonate (PPy/PSS) is evaluated. Based on the results, fibre batteries consisting of a PPy/PF6 cathode and a PPy/PSS anode are fabricated and tested in an electrolyte of 1M LiPF6 in a mixture of ethylene carbonate and dimethyl carbonate. Capacities in the order of 10mAh g−1 over 30 cycles were observed. © 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Taichi-inspired rigid-flexible coupling cellulose-supported solid polymer electrolyte for high-performance lithium batteries
Inspired by Taichi, we proposed rigid-flexible coupling concept and herein developed a highly promising solid polymer electrolyte comprised of poly (ethylene oxide), poly (cyano acrylate), lithium bis(oxalate)borate and robust cellulose nonwoven. Our investigation revealed that this new class solid polymer electrolyte possessed comprehensive properties in high mechanical integrity strength, suf...
متن کاملStructural Batteries Made from Fibre Reinforced Composites
Structural, fibre reinforced, battery prototypes with two types of electrolyte matrix material, a gel and a solid polymer, have been manufactured. This was to confirm the concept of using carbon fibres as current collector in the anode as well as providing a mechanical load-carrying functionality. As a result, functioning batteries with gel electrolyte have been produced and their properties ha...
متن کاملTheoretical study of Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) in polymer optical fibres
We present the modelling of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in graded index polymer fibres made with fluoropolymer CYTOPr(Cyclic Transparent Optical Polymer). Comparison of SBS in silica and polymer optical fibres is presented. What emerges is that polymer-based fibre sensors require, compared to silica-fibres sensors, higher power sources (in the order of Watts). The innovative aspect of...
متن کاملFlexible thin-film battery based on graphene-oxide embedded in solid polymer electrolyte.
Enhanced safety of flexible batteries is an imperative objective due to the intimate interaction of such devices with human organs such as flexible batteries that are integrated with touch-screens or embedded in clothing or space suits. In this study, the fabrication and testing of a high performance thin-film Li-ion battery (LIB) is reported that is both flexible and relatively safer compared ...
متن کاملSimultaneous Control of Active and Reactive Powers of Vanadium Redox Flow Battery Systems in Flexible Microgrids
This paper discusses the control of flexible microgrids, consisting of a Redox Flow Batteries (RFB) and a new power conditioning system (PCS) for the RFB. Considering the importance of energy storage, this study is essential in power systems that are developed cautiously. RFB is connected to power system by a DC/DC or DC/AC converter to produce a DC voltage. It is very important that this conve...
