Project: Li-Air Battery Development, Stakeholders & Assessment

This document presents a project focused on the development of a Lithium-Air (Li-air) battery, aiming to improve upon existing lithium-ion batteries by increasing energy density, longevity, and safety. The project scope includes reducing radiation and heat associated with high MW batteries and replacing them with recyclable alternatives. It highlights the potential of Li-air batteries to hold significantly more charge and draw oxygen from the air for energy generation. The document identifies key stakeholders, such as shareholders, banks, directors, employees, suppliers, customers, the community, and the government, detailing their interests, powers, and influence on the project. A feasibility assessment outlines the requirements, timelines, resources, and constraints, emphasizing the importance of coordination and quality. Risks, such as time complexity and potential government takeover, are also addressed. The project aims to contribute to future industrial research and ensure the viability of lithium batteries for larger-scale output, referencing various studies to support its objectives. Desklib offers a platform to access this and many similar solved assignments for students.

Lithium- air battery
Project scope;
To invent/ develop Li-air battery
To reduce the level of radiation in lithium batteries
Reduction of heat that arises from high MW batteries
 Improving longevity

 Replacing initial batteries with recyclable improved and better density
batteries
 The battery is expected to be more efficient and over 9 times better than usual
lithium ion battery (Girishkumar et al., 2010, p2193)
 The battery will come on oxidation hence power is saved


 Lithium air is the holy grail of battery research
 Lithium air batteries can hold power 40 times better than lithium ion batteries
(Dr. Robert Kerr)
 The lithium air batteries are able draw oxygen from the air
 The oxygen drawn enacts reaction in lithium and energy is discharged

background
 Battery density; Same physical size with lithium ion battery but capable of
storing more (Girishkumar et al., 2010, p2193)
 Improved longevity; can be recycled/ recharged many times before they
start losing energy (approximately over 1000 times
 Safety; lithium batteries are less likely to bursting into flames hence it is
more safer compare to lithium ion

 The battery works in solid state with solid electrolytes
 It therefore prevents the possibility of bursting which is the case
in ion lithium
 The level of efficiency guarantees resource saving and
effectiveness

interests earned by Stakeholders and their influence/ powers in the
project
 Shareholders; they gain dividends, profit growth and they share price growth
 Powers will be allocated/ delegated among shareholders through elections
 Banks and other lenders; are meant to maintain credit ratings as well as
interests and principle to be paid (Jung et al., 2012, p.579).
 The banks and lenders can withdraw banking and facilities and enforce loan

Stakeholder interests, powers and influence
 Directors and managers; they earn salary, status, job satisfaction, and share
options
 Directors are liable to decision making and having detailed information
 Employees; they earn salary and wages, job motivation, satisfaction, and job
security
 The employees influence industrial location, stuff turnover, service quality

 Suppliers; they earn long-term contracts, the growth of purchasing, and
prompt payment (Jung et al., 2012, p.579)
 the suppliers influence the pricing, product availability and the quality
supplied
 The customers; enjoy the value of money, reliability in quality, and product
availability

 The customers influence the level of revenue earned by the project through
return rate and recommendations
 The community; earn local jobs, have local impact, and environment
 The community; influence indirect planning and opinion leaders and the
location of project (Zhang, & Zhou, 2013, 1817)


 The government; it earns revenue , tax receipts, jobs and enable operation
legally.
 The government regulates the operation through subsidization and taxation
policies (Xiao et al., 2011, p. 5078)
 The also government also influences planning and allocation of the project

 The project sponsors;
 Lalithkumar
 Shravan Reddy
 Amritpalkaur
 Shwetakakkerla
