Molecular mobility of water and trimethoxymethane (TMM) in NAFION membranes of two different equivalent weights (EW), 1100 and 1500, were investigated.
Due to future plans to explore Mars and the outer planets, NASA has interest in developing lithium-ion rechargeable batteries that are capable of operating at low temperatures. To address these problems, we have initiated reserach focused upon the development of advanced electrolyte systems for lithium-ion cells with improved low temperature performance.
NASA's future missions aimed at exploring Mars require high specific energy bateries that can be operated at temperatures of -20(deg)C and below...This paper maily deals with the results of our work to develop advanced low temperature electrolytes.
