Anode :
state-of-art anodes are made of a Ni-Cr/Ni-Al alloy.
The Cr was added to eliminate the problem of anode sintering.
Sintering :
The particles grow faster at higher temperatures in low CO2 gas atmospheres, and in strongly basic melts
Cathode :
An acceptable material for cathode must have adequate electrical conductivity, structural strength, and low disso
potential,
begin to exchange ions
this makes maximum strain limit
Advantages of CNT as an actuator
- High output stress (work)
- Actuatable at high temperature (> 100℃ - ionic liquid)
- Double layer charge effect
long life-cycle (than conducting polymer)
Disadvantage
Low electrochemical strain (< 1%)
(than conducting polymer – polypyrrole 26%)
[Anode material]
The potential that is close the standard electrode potential of Li.
High energy density per volume & weight
Excellent cycle stability (Coulomb effeciency)
Have to endure rapid charging or discharging
