LCO (Lithium Cobalt Oxide) Testing Data
Silatronix® material has demonstrated exceptional performance in Li-Ion (LCO) battery cells. The below testing shows a 4.45V, high-voltage LCO battery cell with just 3% OS3® material added to the electrolyte of the reference cell. The results show a significant improvement in three key high-temperature battery performance tests.
- Improved Swelling Performance
- Increased Retained / Recovered Capacity
- Increased High Temperature Cycle Life
3% OS3 Material, 4.45V, 1.7Ah Li-Ion LCO Pouch Cells
| Cell Swelling | Retained Capacity | Cycle Life |
|---|---|---|
| Charge to 4.45V 1C, current cut-off 1/20C | Charge to 4.45V 1C, current cut-off 1/20C | Charge to 4.45V 1C, current cut-off 1/20C, rest 10min |
| Store cells at 90°C, 4hrs | Storing cells at 60°C for 2 weeks | Discharge to 3.0V 1C, rest 10min |
| Measure cell thickness | Measure retained / recovered capacity | 500 cycles |
