Advanced Battery Systems Jerry Barker Consultants specialize in lithium ion and lithium metal battery systems. Our consultancy can assist your organization in the following areas: Advanced Active Materials. The key to significant enhancement of lithium battery characteristics is the development of improved electrode materials. Jerry Barker Consultants possesses the unique combination of expert knowledge combined with depth of experience in order to assist your organization in the development of these new active materials. Dr. Barker holds several key patents relating to the discovery and development of new oxide and polyanion based electroactive materials. For more information please also refer to our webpage describing Advanced Materials. Independent Battery Testing Service. We offer a state-of-the-art electrochemical testing facility and have considerable experience in measuring battery characteristics for both primary and secondary systems. Examples of the properties we can test include: Discharge capacity, Specifc capacity, Energy density, Specific energy, Impedance characteristics (derived from ac and dc methods), Voltage profiles (thermodynamic and at different charge/discharge rates), Differential capacity data, Kinetic information (including diffusion coefficient measurements), Charge-discharge behavior, Temperature dependent characteristcs, Rate capabality etc. Plastic Lithium-ion Battery Technology. This represents the present state-of-the-art in terms of lithium ion technology. Our consultancy possesses wide-ranging skills and experience in this area and can assist in developing and coordinating research programs directed toward commercialization of the plastic lithium ion technology. Novel Polymer Electrolytes. Jerry Barker Consultancy has a broad understanding of diverse polymer electrolytes, such as those based on: heat-laminated layers, radiation cross-linkable polymers, acrylate technology and gel-based systems. We can readily assist your organization in exploiting this type of battery technology. Superior Electrolyte Solvents. The choice of electrolyte solvents has an important impact on the characteristics of the lithium battery performance. For example, the high and low temperature performance of lithium ion batteries is often heavily dependent on the physical properties of the electrolyte solvents. Our consultancy has a wide experience of non-aqueous electrolyte solvents and can assist your organization in selecting and optimizing the electrolyte system for your particular application. Batteries with Improved Safety Characteristics. It is imperative to manufacture lithium-based batteries with acceptable and understandable safety characteristics. This is particularly important when producing larger format batteries for EV, notebook computers and military applications. The desired safety performance may be achieved by careful selection of various paramaters including electrode materials, electrolyte system, polymer choice, cell design etc. The characteristics and properties of these parameters are often inter-dependent. Our consultancy has considerable experience in understanding these complex issues and can assist your organization in this important area. Improved Battery Designs. Selection of an optimized battery design may have important consequences on, for example, the safety characteristics, rate capability and cycle life etc. Jerry Barker Consultancy can create the optimized battery design for a particular application. Advanced Test Methods. To effectively characterize your particular battery system or electrode material, Jerry Barker Consulting has developed a suite of advanced test methods. Jerry Barker Consulting can assist your organization with developing Electrochemical Voltage Spectroscopy (EVS), Current Interrupt (CI), Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), Step Potential Electrochemical Spectroscopy (SPES), Galvanostatic Intermittent Titration Technique (GITT), Potentiostatic Intermittent Titration Technique (PITT), and many others. We can undertake these measurements at our laboratory or can assist your organization in developing their own in-house Test and Measurement capability. |
