　　用于能源收集應(yīng)用的蓄電池解決方案

　　環(huán)境光，熱梯度，振動(dòng)/運(yùn)動(dòng)，或電磁輻射可以收獲電力電子設(shè)備。同時(shí)，所有能源收集系統(tǒng)需要能量?jī)?chǔ)存的時(shí)候，能量無(wú)法得到（例如，在夜間為太陽(yáng)能供電系統(tǒng)）。可充電電池被稱為“次級(jí)電池”，以區(qū)別于“主電池”或“單使用電池”，通常是為這項(xiàng)任務(wù)指定的。本文將研究能量收集系統(tǒng)設(shè)計(jì)人員可用的各種次級(jí)電池技術(shù)，尋找性價(jià)比高、功能強(qiáng)大的電池解決方案。

　　一次電池和二次電池包含一個(gè)陰極的基本結(jié)構(gòu)，一個(gè)陽(yáng)極，一個(gè)在終端之間移動(dòng)電荷的電解質(zhì)，以及一個(gè)分離它們的方法。二次電池的特點(diǎn)是采用可充電化學(xué)，如鎳鎘或鋰聚合物，或固態(tài)薄膜。

　　雖然能量收集系統(tǒng)設(shè)計(jì)者可能不關(guān)注電池結(jié)構(gòu)和化學(xué)，但它將有助于開發(fā)各種技術(shù)的工作知識(shí)，因?yàn)樗菦Q定所有電池性能指標(biāo)和限制的細(xì)胞化學(xué)。（更多的細(xì)節(jié)和解釋蓄電池性能指標(biāo)參考能量收集區(qū)的文章，了解蓄電池規(guī)格為能量收集。）

　　NiCd and NiMH

　　Nickel-cadmium （NiCd） batteries have enjoyed the longest market run among secondary cells for portable electronics， resulting in a mature technology with low cost. NiCd， however， offers performance advantages as well.

　　For example， the latest NiCd batteries have very low internal resistance， rivaling that of standard alkaline batteries. Next to capacity， internal resistance is the second most important specification as it determines much of the battery’s maximum performance in both charge and discharge， since it decreases battery efficiency. Internal resistance limits operating conditions such as temperature and determines the useful life of the battery. Its low internal resistance makes NiCd a good candidate where high power is required for short periods. High discharge currents of up to 50 times the battery capacity （or 50 A for a 1-Ah cell） are easily tolerated and have a minimal effect on capacity. Terminal voltage changes very slowly as the cell is discharged and NiCd cells do not deteriorate after long periods spent fully discharged. Self-discharge rates are approximately 20 percent per month at 21°C. A common NiCd cell size is AA. The Sanyo Cadnica SY115-ND （Figure 1） provides 70 mAh capacity at 140 mA （0.2 C rate）。 Internal impedance at 50 percent discharge is 16 mΩ （at 1，000 Hz） and charging current can range from 70 mA （standard， 14 to 18 hours charging time） to 1，050 mA （fast， about 1 hour charging time）.
