Public award description
THIS SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH IS INTENDED TO DEVELOP AND PROOF THE CONCEPT OF A HIGHLY EFFICIENT, HIGH TEMPERATURE RECHARGEABLE BATTERY FOR SUPPORTING VENUS EXPLORATION MISSIONS. THE PROPOSED BATTERY WILL BE BUILT UPON A TUBULAR, ALKALI METAL ION-CONDUCTING, HIGHLY REFRACTOR, BETA"-ALUMINA-SOLID-ELECTROLYTE (BASE) SANDWICHED BETWEEN AN ALKALI METAL ANODE AND A METAL SALT CATHODE. IN PHASE I, BASE TUBES POSSESSING HIGH STRENGTH, HIGHLY CONDUCTIVE, AND HIGH RESISTANCE TO MOISTURE AND CARBON DIOXIDE ATTACK WILL BE FABRICATED AND OPTIMIZED USING A NOVEL COUPLED-TRANSPORT PROCESS. UPON ASSEMBLY WITH SUITABLE ELECTROCHEMICAL COUPLES, BATTERY CELLS WILL BE TESTED AND EVALUATED IN A TEMPERATURE RANGE FROM 450 C TO 600 C, FOLLOWED BY PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION.
