High Current-rate Batteries

Work involves nanostructure cathode and optimized electrolyte battery materials for more efficient exchange of lithium ions over many charge-discharge cycles.

If funded, this project will explore the use of nanomaterials to produce lighter weight, higher capacity, long-lasting lithium-ion batteries. This could lead to reduced loads on individual Marines and soldiers, and reduced re-supply requirements for military operations.
