High Specific Li-ion cells based on high voltage materials

This paper presents the results obtain in the frame of the ESA TRP: High specific Li-ion cells based on high voltage materials.As there is a need of high energy cells for Space application, a low TRL study was performed by Saft, CEA and ADS in order to developed high energy cells prototypes with a space proven cell mechanical design. The program was divided into 3 main parts.1) Bibliographic study on the most promising active materials, 2 nd a laboratory2) Laboratory scale study of the selected active materials3) Realization and electrochemical evaluation of format D prototype cells
