Novel Polyethers Doped with Nanoscale Insulating oxides for Lithium Battery Elec, Phase I

Completed

Description

Novel polyethers doped with insulating oxides are used to prepare solid polymer electrolytes for high energy density lithium batteries. The electrolytes are characterized for conductivity and electrochemical stability. Prototype lithium-polymer cells with high voltage cathodes will be fabricated and feasibility demonstrated for rate capability and cyclability.

Listed on TechPort itself — the most direct way to ask about this specific project.

How to get involved

This is a mature technology (TRL 7+) — the realistic path in is usually NASA's Technology Transfer Program: licensing an existing NASA patent, or a Space Act Agreement to use NASA facilities/expertise directly. NASA also runs a startup licensing program with no upfront fee for companies formed to commercialize a specific NASA technology.

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.
