N1 - Funding Information:
This project is part of the implementation plan for the United Arab Emirates Space Agency’s ST&I Roadmap and it falls under Level 1 ST&I area of “space power and energy storage” and level 2 “energy storage”. The project is aimed at developing enabling technologies for promising mission and system concept; in particular, an in-house prototype of lithium-ion battery. The project can potentially result in a commercially viable lithium-ion battery technology for spacecrafts/satellites. This work is funded by the United Arab Emirates Space Agency, Space Missions’ Science and Technology Directorate, Reference M04-2016-001.

N2 - Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4)/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) composite electrodes were prepared via a wet-filtration-zipping technique. Mechanical, thermal and electrical properties of the composite electrodes at various temperatures were studied. The composite electrodes exhibited electrical conductivity in the range of 1.1 × 101–3.56 × 101 S/cm. Further, the thermal conductivity, effusivity and volumetric heat capacity were measured. Cyclic voltammograms confirmed good electrochemical performances and high stability during Li+ ion intercalation/de-intercalation.
