Comparing the External Thermal Properties Between Lithium-Ion and Solid-State Electrolyte Batteries in Photovoltaic Applications

Electrical Engineering

Team 4: Jacob Greene, Krish Viren Nanavati, Seth Storino, Adam Wong

Summary

Our project focuses on developing a proof-of-concept demonstration to examine how ambient temperatures impact solid-state electrolyte and lithium-ion batteries, emphasizing the promise of solid-state electrolytes as a dependable alternative to liquid electrolytes. This demonstration connects a solid-state lithium battery to a photovoltaic cell to simulate an energy harvesting and distribution system powering a small load like a lamp. Additionally, the project incorporates MATLAB Simulink to model a liquid electrolyte lithium-ion battery for real-world applications in commercial, residential or utility settings.
