Contributor Schoonman, J. (promotor) Faculty Applied Sciences Department DelftChemTech Date 2009-10-26 Abstract The growing interest during the past decades for mobile devices, like laptops, cellular phones, MP3 players, etc., is impressive. moreover, the concerns about climate changes have increased the worldwide interest for electrical and hybrid vehicles and intermittent sustainable energies, like solar and wind energy. These development have stimulated the research in electrical energy storage. With regard to the current state-of-the-art of advanced rechrgeable bateries, it is essential to develop better systems with larger energy densities, longer cycle life, improved safety, and lower costs. To date, Li-ion batteries are known as one of the best candidates to provide energy storage for these applications. However, electrical and hybrid vehicle requirements are not yet reached in terms of energy and power density and many improvements have to be achieved.
