A New Charging Method for Li-ion Batteries: Dependence of the charging time on the Direction of an Additional Oscillating Field
BATTERY/ENERGY TECHNOLOGY (GENERAL) - 218TH ECS MEETING, 33:33-37, 2011
We have recently proposed a new method for charging Li-ion batteries based on large-scale molecular dynamics studies (I. Abou Hamad et al, Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 12, 2740 (2010)). Applying an additional oscillating electric field in the direction perpendicular to the graphite sheets of the anode showed an exponential decrease in charging time with increasing amplitude of the applied oscillating field. Here we present new results exploring the effect on the charging time of changing the orientation of the oscillating field. Results for oscillating fields in three orthogonal directions are compared.
