American Energy Technologies Co., a woman-owned small business concern of Illinois will partner with Lockheed Martin Corp"s Missions Systems and Sensors and with Analog Devices, in order to develop and demonstrate a new and improved primary battery capable of delivering up to two thirds of the energy density of gasoline as employed in an internal combustion engine, and up to 6.5 times the specific ...

A team at EP Purification has performed research for the development and commercialization of low-cost microchannel plasma reactor modules capable of efficiently producing ozone for water treatment and other environmental applications in a slim form factor and size. The conservation of water resources for human consumption is a growing national priority. Ozone is a unique purification agent as it ...

There is unmet need for rapid, cost effective in vitro methods to identify chemicals that pose a hazard to the human brain. A number of in vitro assays utilizing primary cells have been tested in an effort to devise effective models to prioritize chemicals for further in depth toxicity studies. However, isolation of primary human neural tissue is cost and labor intensive, and cannot be produced in ...

Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) is an anionic surfactant species that is a member of a large family of ubiquitous and emerging environmental contaminants known as perfluoro chemicals (PFCs). Soil and groundwater contamination by PFCs have been caused by legal emissions from industrial manufacturers (carpets, lubricants, paints, packaging, cookware), protectant spray consumer products, polymer ...

Xerion Advanced Battery Corp (XABC) proposes Advanced Battery Manufacturing Techniques for High Performance, Low Cost Lithium Ion Batteries. XABC has developed a 3D battery electrode called StructurePore that allows for rapid ion and electron transport, enabling 5 minute charge times at 280Wh/kg on a positive + negative electrode basis. StructurePore batteries utilize a novel manufacturing metho ...

Manufacturing technologies for Li-ion batteries have not kept pace with the rapid innovation of high energy Li-ion chemistries, inhibiting battery performance and compromising safety. Recent studies have shown that one of the major reasons for Li-ion battery failure (self-discharge, catastrophic failure etc.) can be attributed to manufacturing defects caused by mechanical (metal) die cutters, whic ...
