Materials for wide temperature lunar/Martian batteries

Completed TRL 2 (started at 2, targeting 3)

Description

Develop a low temperature electrolyte capable of maintaining performance through temperatures exerienced at during lunar night.

Benefits

This could lead to not only survivie the night energy storage capability; but also operate through the night capability greatly enhancing productivity of surface assets.

How to get involved

This is early/mid-stage (TRL 2) — the most realistic path in is NASA SBIR/STTR, which funds small businesses and research institutions to develop technology aligned with NASA's needs (equity-free, phased funding). Check whether a current SBIR/STTR solicitation topic overlaps with this project's technology area, or contact the project directly (above) to ask.

None of these are guaranteed paths for this specific project — TechPort itself doesn't have an "apply" button. Reaching out to the contact(s) above with a specific question is usually the fastest way to find out what's actually open.
