STTR Phase I: High power, High energy density, Nanostructured bulk Li-ion Battery

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。这个小企业技术转让一期项目是为了展示高功率的技术；高能量密度纳米结构锂离子电池。锂离子电池的许多新应用都需要高能量和功率密度、快速充电时间以及在不同环境温度下的安全运行。锂离子电池是消费电子产品和军事应用以及下一代混合动力汽车中广泛使用的电池的重要组成部分。如果成功，这项研究将有助于提高这些应用程序的性能。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This Small business Technology Transfer Phase I project is to demonstrate the technology for a high power; high energy density nanostructured Li-ion battery. Many of the new applications of lithium ion batteries require high energy and power densities, quick recharging time, and safe operation at varying ambient temperatures. Lithium ion cells are essential building blocks for a wide range of batteries used in consumer electronics and military applications, as well as in next generation hybrid electric vehicles. If successful this research will help provide improved performance for these applications.
