Definition and Main Properties

Optimization of physical properties of a component of a device such as the conductivity of an electrolyte of a battery for storage of electrical energy via transformation to chemical energy is a key issue in developing new devices or improving existing ones.

Typical electrolytes of lithium-ion batteries are composed of a blend of several different solvents, at least one salt and several additives. Therefore, it is an expensive and time-consuming task to optimize the electrolyte if a single-step variation approach is used to increase the conductivity of the resulting electrolyte. To reduce the effort for this task, experimental design methods (DoE, Design of Experiments) can be used. Depending on knowledge about influencing factors, these methods can be divided into two groups. If already sufficient knowledge exists, sequential optimization procedures can be used for finding the optimum. If little or nothing is known about the influencing factors,...
