Barrett

Barrett, The Honors College at Arizona State University proudly showcases the work of undergraduate honors students by sharing this collection exclusively with the ASU community.

Barrett accepts high performing, academically engaged undergraduate students and works with them in collaboration with all of the other academic units at Arizona State University. All Barrett students complete a thesis or creative project which is an opportunity to explore an intellectual interest and produce an original piece of scholarly research. The thesis or creative project is supervised and defended in front of a faculty committee. Students are able to engage with professors who are nationally recognized in their fields and committed to working with honors students. Completing a Barrett thesis or creative project is an opportunity for undergraduate honors students to contribute to the ASU academic community in a meaningful way.

Safe Fire-resistant Electrolytes for Lithium-ion Batteries

Description
Lithium-ion batteries that employ an electrolyte consisting of LiFSI and TMP are shown to have better cycle performance than conventional carbonate electrolyte batteries at elevated temperatures. Additionally, an inorganic alumina or silica separator also improves cycling performance at high temperatures. Half-cells of Li metal and Li2TiO3 were constructed with LiFSI/TMP…

Lithium-ion batteries that employ an electrolyte consisting of LiFSI and TMP are shown to have better cycle performance than conventional carbonate electrolyte batteries at elevated temperatures. Additionally, an inorganic alumina or silica separator also improves cycling performance at high temperatures. Half-cells of Li metal and Li2TiO3 were constructed with LiFSI/TMP electrolyte and inorganic separators and cycled at increasing temperatures. Their cycle performance was compared to batteries with the same anode and cathode material that were prepared with conventional components. Half-cells using either the novel electrolyte or inorganic separators were able to continue cycling at temperatures up to 80 ℃, long after the conventionally prepared batteries had failed. A cell with a combination of the LiFSI/TMP electrolyte and silica separator still showed 75% capacity retention after 10 cycles at 85 ℃ as well.
