This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is on the development of a planar, highly compact, sodium-beta rechargeable battery using sodium-ion conducting beta alumina solid electrolyte disc (Na-BASE) sandwiched between a liquid sodium and a nickel chloride salt, (p-ZEBRA battery). All commercially available sodium-beta battery technologies use thick Na-BASE tubes, resulting in relatively low specific energy densities and large thermal masses that inhibit fast thermal cycling. In this project, highly performing planar Na-BASE discs, possessing high strength and high resistance to moisture and CO2 attack, will be developed and manufactured using a patented vapor phase process. The p- ZEBRA battery allows operation over a wide temperature range from 200ºC to 400ºC, delivering the integration and operation flexibility suitable for intermittent renewable energy storage applications (wind, solar power and geothermal) with high round-trip efficiencies, or thermal integration with internal-combustion engines or solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) for plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) applications with extended driving range. The broader/commercial impacts of this research are to provide a low cost, highly reliable electric energy storage system, which integrates with a broad spectrum of power generation systems. It includes the fast market penetration renewable energy power systems that mitigate grid transient issues, and gasoline internal-combustion engines or advanced SOFCs for PHEV with extended driving distances. The successful development and deployment of the proposed p-ZEBRA battery technology will assist the US with building critical new industry and reinstating US leadership in large-scale electric energy storages.

该小型企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目是开发一种平面、高度紧凑的钠-β可充电电池，使用夹在液体钠和氯化镍盐之间的钠离子传导β氧化铝固体电解质盘（Na-BASE）（p-ZEBRA电池）。所有商业上可用的钠-β电池技术都使用厚的Na-BASE管，导致相对较低的比能量密度和较大的热质量，从而抑制快速热循环。在该项目中，将使用专利的气相工艺开发和制造高性能平面Na-Base光盘，具有高强度和高耐潮湿和CO2侵蚀性。p-ZEBRA电池允许在200ºC至400ºC的宽温度范围内运行，提供适用于间歇性可再生能源存储应用的集成和操作灵活性（风能、太阳能和地热能）具有高往返效率，或与内燃机或固体氧化物燃料电池（SOFC）热集成，用于插电式混合动力电动车（PHEV）具有扩展驱动范围的应用。这项研究的更广泛/商业影响是提供一种低成本、高可靠性的电能存储系统，该系统与广泛的发电系统集成。它包括快速市场渗透的可再生能源电力系统，以减轻电网瞬态问题，以及汽油内燃机或先进的SOFC用于PHEV延长驾驶距离。p-ZEBRA电池技术的成功开发和部署将有助于美国建立关键的新产业，并恢复美国在大规模电能储存领域的领导地位。
