Commercially used intercalation-based cathode materials in Li-ion batteries have relatively low capacity, high manufacturing costs, and sourcing \/ ethical concerns. Metal fluoride-based conversion cathodes promise unique benefits over these materials with regards to theoretical capacities, safety, supply, and cost. However, when built into full cells with liquid electrolytes, they have historically suffered side effects that lead to early cell degradation: poor ionic conductivity, volume swelling, resistance buildup, and morphological changes.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nIn this thesis, I will investigate a workaround of these symptoms by constructing an all solid-state architecture. The deliberate design of a liquid\/polymer solvent-free cathode\u0026nbsp; provides a more stable window by which to analyze cycling behavior and electrochemical performance.\u0026nbsp;This defense focuses on\u0026nbsp;the novel\u0026nbsp;electrode and electrolyte fabrication methods used to achieve such a structure and associated characterization.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Fabrication \u0026 Characterization of High Energy Density Solid State Metal Fluoride Microbatteries"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2021-04-06 15:11:29","changed_gmt":"2021-04-19 17:31:17","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2021-04-22T10:30:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2021-04-22T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2021-04-22T12:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2021-04-22 14:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2021-04-22 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2021-04-22 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"111531","name":"ms defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1789","name":"Conference\/Symposium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
