Identifying Valuable Second Lives for Retired-Lithium-Ion Batteries in Transportation Systems
SBC: NANOSONIC INC. Topic: 171OS1The identification of high-value and high-impact secondary applications for retired lithium-ion batteries is critical as the number of electric vehicles on the road continues to increase. During the Phase I DOT SBIR program NanoSonic will evaluate second-use application concepts for retired vehicular lithium-ion batteries in economically valuable, second-use sectors of transportation. We are partn ...
