Lithium-ion polymer battery

Did you know that some states have passed laws making it illegal to throw batteries away in the garbage? Many people are unaware of this fact. In 1991, the state of North Carolina rendered it illegal to discard of lead-acid batteries in a landfill, incinerator or any other type of waste-to-energy facility. The purpose of this report is to provide you with information on rechargeable batteries so you will have a better understanding on the benefits of a recycling program and possible…

System Safety in the Dreamliner: Containing Battery Fires Designing a long-haul, twin-engine airliner that impressed both operator and passenger was the goal of Boeing when they launched the 7E7 program in 2003. Sweptback wings, higher-humidity in cabins, composite fuselage, ultra-high thrust engines and a simulated sky interior were just a few improvements since air transportation of an earlier generation (“Boeing 787 Dreamliner long-range,” n.d.). The aircraft plagued by launch delays,…

In the Bay Back Battery Simulation, I was tasked to use strategic innovation to earn profits for the division of the consumer electronics manufacturer. As the President of Back Bay Battery, Inc., I was responsible for distributing funds for two types of batteries produced by the firm. Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) accounted for 80% of revenue for the firm while Ultracapacitor batteries (UC) only made up 20% revenue (Christensen & Shih, 2012). The company primary products covered portable power…

Nowadays, these electronics are powered from Lithium-ion batteries. The major processes throughout the lithium life cycle can be divided into five stages: resource mining, chemical production, product manufacture, product use and waste management (Sun et al., 2017). Lithium is extracted from two sources - ore and salt brines - and the lithium minerals are then transformed into basic chemicals such as lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide, and lithium chloride to produce many derivatives (Sun et…

Grace Bish May 20, 2015 Science Battery Lab Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to determine which battery brand is the best to buy. Problem: The problem is to figure out which battery brand is the most efficient. Hypothesis: If Duracell Quantum lasts the longest then their commercials are accurate because on the package it states “No alkaline battery lasts longer”. Materials: • 2 fusion AA batteries • 2 energizer Ultimate Lithium AA • 2 Duracell quantum AA • 3 mini Maglite xenon…

capacity of lithium metal, lithium primary batteries have been widespread in health-improving medical devices since the successful implantation of the first lithium-powered pacemaker in 1970s.29, 30 Depending on the power level, implantable medical device primary batteries fall into several categories: low-rate batteries outputting microwatts of power such as batteries for cardiac pacemakers and hearing devices; medium-rate batteries outputting milliwatts of power such as batteries for drug…

newer battery technology on society. What are the benefits to society as well as any negative effects of the technology? Are there any safety issue to consider? In today’s society we are constantly using batteries. These batteries however have changed dramatically over the years, from when once created to now. But with the invention of newer and newer batteries there are bound to be explosions of benefits, but with benefits can come fault. One of the most noteworthy benefits with batteries…

By having the new technology in fire alarms provides with a early warning and faster responds time. In the past smoke detector were equipment with batteries that had to be replaces twice a year. This was often neglected resulting in death injury and property damage. With the long life batteries this enhanced of the home owners. Heat detectors are the oldest type of automatic fire detection device. The heating detector is another way to solve the problems of deaths due…

Micra has created the smallest pacemaker yet. It is 93% smaller than any conventional pacemaker, which makes it about the size of a large vitamin capsule which is about 1.75g, compared to a 44 x 52 x 6mm, 23.5g pacemaker. Unlike most pacemakers that are placed in the patient's chest with leads running to the heart, Micra is implanted directly into the patient’s heart. Some of the impact on society are: Its less invasive as the Micra is placed in the heart via a vein in the leg, which therefore…

using most small electronics, the life of the battery is the last thing to worry about, but this is a serious issue that hasn’t been effectively solved. A battery is only a temporary device which often raises the question of where to dispose of them. Batteries are meant to be recycled, but without a label stating otherwise, batteries are commonly thrown in the garbage. For example, in California, there were approximately five-hundred million batteries sold in 2001, but less than one percent was…
