A binder-free porous carbon cathode made of candle soot carbon is prepared for rechargeable Li-CO2 Mars battery chemistry. This work presents a functioning prototype of Li-CO2 battery technology operated in a simulated Martian atmosphere, aimed at exploring its feasibility for Mars missions, especially surface landers and rovers.
A binder free approach is adopted to prepare a porous carbon cathode, made of candle soot carbon for rechargeable Li-CO2-Mars Battery Chemistry. This work demonstrates for the first time a working prototype of Li-CO2 battery technology operated at simulated Martian gases atmosphere to explore the feasibility of this technology in the Mars mission particularly with respect to surface landers and rovers.
