TL;DR: In this article, the performance of a small zinc/bromine cell using electrolytes prepared from various quaternary ammonium bromides is described, and the results show that such a cell can be used over the temperature range 0-50°C due to crystallization of solid materials from either the polybromide or aqueous phases.

TL;DR: In this paper, a mass producible, low, cost, alkaline, bipolar fuel cell was designed for a future hydrogen economy, and the pre-treatment of carbon materials proved necessary to prolong the life of the electrodes, which resulted in the replacement of the noble metal electrocatalyst of the cathode and reduction in the loading of the anode.

TL;DR: In this article, a CoTMPP-coated active carbon catalyst was found to improve the initial polarization characteristics of air electrodes at temperatures between 460 and 810 °C.

TL;DR: In this article, the electrochemical deposition and stripping of lithium have been examined using three-electrode cells with a polyethylene oxide-lithium trifluorometha.

TL;DR: In this paper, a thermodynamic framework has been developed to evaluate the efficiencies of alkaline battery systems for electrolyte (MOH) concentrations from 1 to 8, and the voltage efficiencies were found to be between 90 and 100%.

TL;DR: In this paper, the dependence of a battery's capacity upon the rate of discharge (Peukert's law) was interpreted as the consequence of the fractality of the cell electro t001.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors deduced the equations for mass transport during the formation of the lead-acid battery positive and negative plates, and showed that both the amount of material transferred between the reaction layer and the bulk of the electrolyte, and also the material flow direction depends on the paste composition and the formation current density.

TL;DR: The Canadian Astronautics Limited (CAL) developed a system to autonomously manage, and thus prolong the life of, secondary storage batteries for the space vehicle application using nickel cadmium batteries, but is expected to be able to enhance the life and performance of any rechargeable electrochemical couple as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Yellow β-PbO (massicot) and plattnerite have been investigated as cathode materials in organic electrolyte lithium cells in this article, and they have been shown to be suitable for battery cells.

TL;DR: In this paper, a rechargeable lithium molybdenum disulfide battery which has a number of superior performance characteristics including a high energy density, a high power density, and a long charge retention time was developed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the heat dissipation problem occurring in the lithium thionyl chloride cells discharged at relatively high rates under normal discharge conditions, and they proposed a transient model based on the lumped heat capacity concept to predict the time-dependent cell temperature at different discharge rates.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the characterization studies for the cells should be conducted prior to the start of a design of a battery pack, and the approach for fabricating a battery battery pack might vary with cell size.

TL;DR: In this paper, die Kinetik der Bleioxydation bei der Reifung wurde durch chemische Freibleibestimmung bzw. Gasvolumetrie des Sauerstoffverbrauchs untersucht.

TL;DR: In this article, the cathodic evolution of hydrogen from a series of lead-tin alloys (below 1.7% Sn) was studied with a range of concentrations of aqueous sulphuri.

TL;DR: In this paper, Li-TiS2, Li-MoS3, and Li-V6O13 systems were examined in detail, and the results of these studies will provide guidelines for prioritizing the research efforts and guiding the selection of optimized materials.

TL;DR: In Japan, advanced batteries, such as Na-S, Zn-Cl 2, Zn -Br 2, and Cr-Fe redox-flow battery, aiming for utility load-level were introduced.

TL;DR: In this article, two battery module configurations were developed which, in addition to integrating cylindrical nickel hydrogen (NiH2) cells into batteries, provide advances in the means of mounting, monitoring and thermal control of these cells.

TL;DR: Forty-two 50 A h aerospace nickel cells were delivered to NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) by General Electric (GE) in February, 1985, for the first time as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the benefits of planning experiments to include studies of failure modes and distributions will be more accessible if the engineer or technician under-approximate the Weibull results.

TL;DR: Optimized designs for advanced lead-acid, load-leveling batteries were selected in a limited time period by means of an accelerated life cycle test as mentioned in this paper, where the battery was selected based on a limited set of parameters.

TL;DR: In this paper, the performance characteristics of lead-acid batteries in an electric power storage system have been studied and the superposition of 0.1 - 4000 Hz alternations have been used.

TL;DR: In this article, the incorporation of nickel-hydrogen technology for low-Earth-orbit spacecraft applications requires the establishment of a data base, and an extensive test program was established to provide this data base.

TL;DR: In this paper, a continuing research program to assess the responses of spirally wound, lithium/sulfur dioxide cells to charging as functions of charging current, temperature, and cell condition prior to charging is described.
