SBIR Phase I: High Performance Electrochemical Capacitor Using Carbide-Derived Carbon Nanomaterial Electrodes
Award Year / Program / Phase:
2009 / SBIR / Phase I
Agency:
NSF
Principal Investigator:
Ranjan Dash, PhD
Award Amount:
$100,000.00
Abstract:
This SBIR Phase I research proposal will develop nano-porous carbide-derived carbon electrodes for improved super-capacitor performance. The high power charge/discharge rate of current super-capacitors is offset by a low storage capacity compared to batteries. The capacitance of activated carbon… More
High Energy, High Power Supercapacitor-Battery Hybrid Energy Storage System
Award Year / Program / Phase:
2009 / SBIR / Phase I
Agency / Branch:
DOD / NAVY
Principal Investigator:
Ranjan Dash, Chief Technology Officer
Award Amount:
$69,986.00
Abstract:
This proposal presents a Phase I SBIR project to develop high-energy, high-power supercapacitor-battery hybrid energy storage systems. Batteries are widely used, but have limited power capability and cycle life. Supercapacitors, also called ultracapacitors or double-layer capacitors, are… More
Recovery Act - Scale-Up of Tunable Nanoporous Carbon Production
Award Year / Program / Phase:
2010 / SBIR / Phase I
Agency:
DOE
Principal Investigator:
Ranjan Dash, Dr.
Award Amount:
$149,938.00
Abstract:
The goal of this project is to scale up production of nanoporous carbon materials for supercapacitors, which are energy storage devices offering nearly limitless cyclability and high power capability. Present-day supercapacitors suffer from relatively low energy storage capability, but Y-Carbon
