Under prior SBIR efforts, a shipboard module handling device was developed called the ‘Confined Container - Lift and Maneuver System’ or CC-LMS, with a Proof-of-Concept (PoC) demonstrator prototype has been successfully demonstrated at two facilities in Corvallis, OR and at US Navy Depot Port Hueneme, California. The system has adequately demonstrated its ability of safely lifting and omni-dir ...

Internal combustion engine powered vehicles not only consume a major part of the worlds petroleum resources but also are responsible for severe air pollution. Near Zero emission electricity powered vehicles EV), hybridized electric vehicle HEV) and more recently plug-in hybridized electric vehicle PHEV) seem to be promising alternatives. However, up to date, the lack of suitable batteries and exce ...

CRG proposes to develop an Advanced Lithium Sulfur Battery (LSB) based on combining a novel super ion conducting ceramic electrolyte, entrapped sulfur cathode, and a lithium metal anode necessary to meet NASA's needs for high energy density, rechargeable, and safe energy storage. These new materials for LSBs will build upon a proven ceramic electrolyte for rechargeable lithium metal batteries. A c ...

As tactical and deployed electrical power demands increase for soldiers, there is a commensurate need to increase the energy density of military batteries (i.e. man portable power) to ease the weight burden additional power capacity entails. Lithium-sulfur batteries, as replacement for current lithium ion batteries, are a promising advancement with theoretical specific energy of 2600Wh/kg and demo ...

This project will evaluate the low temperature (to -55 degrees C) performance of the Li/CuCl*2* and Li/LixCo0*2* rechargeable cells with SO*2* electrolytes to determine if one of these battery systems should be developed as a power source for aircrew survival-rescue equipment. The excellent cycle life and specific energy (e.g. 200 deep cycles at 165 Whr/Kg), wide operating temperature range, low s ...

K2 Energy Solutions, Inc. will address the Navy’s energy storage requirements by designing and fabricating a modular battery system similar to those the company has already developed for high performance electric vehicles. K2 develops and manufactures advanced lithium-ion energy storage systems based on intrinsically safe and inexpensive lithium iron phosphate cathode materials.

This proposal seeks to investigate and demonstrate the advantages of novel all solid-state cells with bulk cathodes that offer the potential to dramatically improve future battery performance in the following areas: * Power densities that are a factor of 10-100 times those of today. * A temperature range of operation from the melting point of lithium (~180ºC) at the upper limit, to -60ºC (and ...
