This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project seeks to develop, demonstrate a novel, robust, low cost, high H2 flux, dense composite hydrogen separation membrane technology, which can be used to separate hydrogen gas at high temperature from the gas mixture generated 1) by coal… More

Military operating in remote locations have increasing demand for man-portable electric power for communications and other advanced electronic devices, which is currently met by Li/SO2 (BA-5590) or Li/MnO2 (BA-2590) primary batteries. In order to substantially reduce the logistic burden and the cost… More

Oxygen is ranked among the top five in the production of commodity chemicals in the U.S. Hence, there is a strong market pull for developing high-energy-efficient, low-cost, high-flux oxygen separation technology. In addition, a pure-oxygen-assisted combustion process also would have implications… More

After comparing various power sources, including primary lithium battery, metal air seawater battery and hydrogen fuel cell, we come to the conclusion that magnesium air seawater battery is the best choice for the sonobuoy applications in terms of specific energy, energy density, shelf life, system… More

U.S. Military operations have come to depend more and more on unmanned vehicles (unmanned undersea vehicles UUVs and unmanned air vehicles UAVs) to carry out numerous missions. However, the transit distance for many of these missions is often well limited by the energy storage capacity of their… More

The production of oxygen is ranked among the top five commodity chemicals in the U.S. However, low energy efficiencies and high costs are preventing the widespread implementation of traditional oxygen separation technologies. This project will develop and demonstrate a novel, low-cost, high-flux,… More

Increasingly strict environmental regulations, along with surging energy demand and oil prices, have given rise to a growing demand for efficient, clean, and renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind energy. Electricity generated from these renewable sources, however, suffers the drawback of… More
