1.0 (U) NTRODUC 1 ION
1.1 (U) Problem / Background
(U) This SOW defines the Sponsor's requirements for developing solid electrolytes for lithium-
ion batteries. One of the key barriers to wide-spread use of lithium-ion batteries is their potential
for catastrophic failure due to their lack of inherent abuse tolerance. When cells are thermally or
electrically abused, as is often the case during high temperature operations, their temperature can
rise and exothermic reactions between combustible, liquid electrolyte and the charged electrodes
can cause the cells to undergo thermal runaway. This inherent safety obstacle demonstrates a
clear need for a more stable lithium ion battery electrolyte. In addition, Agency operations
frequently require the capability to make thin cells of various shapes in short periods that meet
QRC (quick ction c bility) cons ints. The ionic liquid polymer electrolytes and garnet-
type solid lithium-ion electrolytes described herein will further enable that capability.
1.2 (U) Project Objectives/Scope
The project has two main objectives:
1.2.1 Develop a novel flexible solid polymer electrolyte possessing the conductivity of a
conventional liquid electrolyte with the low volatility and mechanical properties of a solid.
1.2.2 Develop thin-film high-conductivity garnet-type solid lithium-ion electrolytes in low-
interfacial-impedance tailored micro/nano-structures.
2.0 (U) CONTRACTOR TASKS
The Contnictur shall perform the following tasks:

TREATMENT OF FRINGE BENEFITS:
The fringe benefits are specifically identified to each employee and are
charged individually as direct costs. The directly claimed fringe benefits
are listed below.
TREATMENT OF PAID ABSENCES
Vacation, holiday, sick leave pay and other paid absences are included in
salaries and wages and are claimed on grants, contracts and other agreements
as part of the normal cost for salaries and wages. Separate claims are not
made for the cost of these paid absences.
OFF-SITE DEFINITION: For all activities performed in facilities not owned by
the organization and to which rent is directly allocated to the project(s),
the off-site rate will apply. Projects partially performed off-site are
apportioned between their on-site/off-site components when projects activity
is conducted off-site for at least three consecutive months.
Fringe Benefits Include: FICA, Retirement, Tuition Remission, Vision Care,
TIAA/CREF, Unemployment Insurance and Health Insurance.

contract or other agreement only to the extent that funds are available. Acceptance of the rates is subject to the
following conditions: Cl) Only costs incurred by the organization were included tn its facilities and administrative cost
pools as finally accepted: such costs are legal obligations of the organization and are allowable under the governing cost
principles; (2) The same costs that have been treated as facilities and administrative costs are not claimed as direct
costs; (3) Similar types of costs have been accorded consistent accounting treatment and (4) The information provided by
the organization which was used to establish the rates is not later found to be materially incomplete or inaccurate by the
Federal. Government. In such situations the rate (a) would be subject to renegotiation at the discretion of the Federal
Government.
B. ACCOUNTING CHANGES-
This Aereement is based on the accounting system purported by the organization to he in effect during the Agreement
period, Changes to the method of accounting for costs which affect the amount of reimbursement resulting from the use of
this Agreement require prior approval of the authorized representative of the cognizant agency. Such changes include, but
are not limited to, changes in the charging of a particular type of cost from facilities and administrative to direct.
Failure to obtain approval may result in cost disallowances.
C. FIXED RATESe
If a fixed rate is in this Agreement, it is based on an estimate of the costs for the period covered by the rate. When the
actual costs for this period are determined, an adjustment will be made to a rate of a future year(s) to compensate for
the difference between the costs used to establish the fixed rate and actual costs.
D. USE HIMHBRATPREAL...ADENCIgat
The rates in. this Agreement were approved in accordance with the authority in Office of Management and Budget Circular A-
21 Circular, and should be applied to grants, contracts and other agreements covered by this Circular, subject to any
limitations in A above. The organization may provide copies of the Agreement to other Federal Agencies to give then early
notification of the Agreement.
E. OTHER.
If any Federal contract, grant or other agreement is reimbursing facilities and administrative costs by a means other than
the approved rate(s) in this Agreement, the organization should (1) credit such costs to the affected programs, and (2)
apply the approved rate(s) to the appropriate base to identify the proper amount of facilities and administrative costs
allocable to these programs.

Problem and Project Objective
One of the key barriers to the wide-spread use of lithium-ion batteries for DoD applications is their potential
for catastrophic failure due to their lack of inherent abuse tolerance. When cells are thermally or electrically
abused, their temperature can rise and exothermic reactions between the combustible, liquid electrolyte and
the charged electrodes can cause the cells to undergo thermal runaway. There is a clear need for a more
stable Lithium-ion battery electrolytes. The aim of this project is to better understand the electrochemical
properties and microstructure of novel thin film non-flammable solid polymer electrolytes and solid state
(ceramic) garnet based electrolytes with enhanced performance. The proposed project has two objectives: (1)
Develop a novel flexible solid polymer electrolyte possessing the conductivity of a conventional liquid
electrolyte with low volatility and mechanical properties of a solid; and (2) Develop thin-film high-
conductivity garnet-type solid lithium-ion electrolytes in low-interfacial-impedance tailored micro/
structures. The corresponding research would follow two parallel tasks:
Task 1: Safe, High-Performance Polymer Electrolyte for Lithium Batteries
Approved for Release: 2019/08/12 CO6547178
Dr. Ko research up at University of Maryland ha_s developed a novel flexible
solid polymer electrolyte that promises the conductivity of a conventional liquid
electrolyte with the low volatility and mechanical properties of a solid. Previous
efforts based on the complex of PEO and alkali metals salts resulted in low ionic
conductivity (-0.01 mS/cm) at room temperature and was inadequate for practical use
at higher current densities. Inclusion of a secondary block copolymer, lower molecular
weight polymers, ce ic particles or carbonate solvents also resulted in poor
performance. The ICo group has developed electrolytes with conductivities as high
as (0.7 mS/cm at 37�C, and 0.1 mS/cm at room temperature) by blending sulfur based
ionic liquids (IL) with ionically conductive polymer matrices, The polymer / IL films
form homogeneous free standing solid membranes (Figure 1), which are strong enough
to be rolled and manipulated by hand and possess wide electrochemical stability while
remaining non-combustible.

Reversible cathodic stability in the polymer-IL hybrid
electrolyte was attained using cyclic voltammetry of a
Li/electrolyte/Al cell. In Figure 2 the electrolyte is cycled
from 2.5 to 5 V against Li/Lit for 500 cycles, with minimal
current d y over the entire cycling p ess. The hybrid
electrolyte as formulated does indicate stability that would
provide a buffer zone above cathodes with a 5 V discharge
potential, ultimately presenting further ability for the
development of safer high power lithium batteries that rely
on high voltage cathodes.
To document the long-
term stability of the
electrolyte against
lithium, galvanostatic
cycling was conducted that involves aggressively stripping and plating
lithium. A current density of 0.1 mA/cm2 was reversed every hour for
100 cycles at 45 �C with intermittent testing of the conductivity via
impedance spectroscopy. The overvoltage at the end of each half-cycle,
plotted in Figure 3, shows there is minimal increase over 100 cycles in the
voltage indicating long term stability against anodic materials.
