Crystal Cell Solid-State Batteries: Testing and Variations

Abstract

This thesis delves into the electrical potentials of solid-state crystal cell batteries through systematic exploration of electrochemical designs and construction parameters. Methodology involved designing and building batteries for comprehensive testing. The study assessed the impact of substrate doping, copper cathode annealing methods, magnesium anode diameter variations, and cell mass analysis on electrical performance. Results showed significant electrochemical variations corresponding to parameter changes. Substrate doping improved ion conductivity and battery longevity. Annealing methods were shown to influence electrical properties. Varying anode diameters affected initial energy output. Cell mass analysis hinted at correlations between dopant characteristics and performance metrics. These findings offer insights for optimizing crystal cell battery design and construction, potentially advancing battery technology.
