Abstract

Characterization of the individual battery components is usually followed by construction and testing of the full battery. The key parameters of interest in solid state batteries are life expectancy, charge retention, ability to recharge and deliver power, capacity and energy efficiency over a wide uncontrolled temperature range, and their evaluations rest primarily on three electrochemical characteristics:
  1. 1.

    The open circuit voltage;

     
  2. 2.

    The polarization of departure from open circuit voltage under various discharge/charge conditions;

     
  3. 3.

    Cycle energy efficiency and ampere-hour efficiency under various discharge/charge conditions.
