Phase 1a development of a printed energy storage device

这笔I2I拨款的目的是为可穿戴设备市场开发一种可打印的锂离子电池，预计到2027年，可打印锂离子电池的总市场份额将达到1500亿美元。我们之前对Adventus进行的市场评估表明，我们应该专注于可穿戴设备市场。在评估期间，一项新发明(美国临时专利62/599,461)从许可的角度使这一技术转让目标更具吸引力。我们致力于将我们目前的项目集中在印刷电池行业。**该项目的目标是研制可印刷电池油墨，扩大电池油墨的制造规模，并制定制造协议，将墨水材料纳入印刷锂离子电池。具体地说，该项目的目标将包括：(1)基于我们的专有技术开发可印刷电池油墨；(2)聚合物材料性能的优化；(3)改进的聚合物材料和可印刷电池油墨的扩大生产；(4)制定印刷锂离子电池的制造协议；以及(5)展示最低可行的产品，包括经过验证的电气性能和制造实践的目标1-4。**

The purpose of this I2I grant is to develop a printable lithium ion battery for the wearables market that is projected reach a total market share of >$150 billion USD by 2027. Our previous market assessment from Adventus suggested that we focus on the wearables market. During that assessment, a new invention was made (US provisional pattent 62/599,461) that makes this technology transfer objective even more attractive from a licencing perspective. We are committed to focussing our current project on the printed battery industry.**The objective of this project is to formulate printable battery inks, scale up manufacturing of the battery inks, and develop a manufacturing protocol to incorporate the ink material into a printed lithium ion battery. Specifically, the goals of this project will include: (1) the development of printable battery inks based on our proprietary technology; (2) optimization of the polymeric material performance; (3) scaled up manufacturing of the improved polymeric material and printable battery inks; (4) the development of a manufacturing protocol for a printed lithium ion battery; and (5) the demonstration of a minimum viable product incorporating goals 1-4 with validated electrical performance and manufacturing practices. **
