Public award description
THIS PROJECT WILL INVESTIGATE AN ENTIRELY NEW BATTERY CHEMISTRY BY DEVELOPING A MARTIAN AIR BATTERY. SPECIFICALLY THE PROJECT WILL EXPLORE THE CONCEPT OF A MARTIAN BATTERY THAT UTILIZES IN-SITU RESOURCES TO PRODUCE ENERGY FOR NASA APPLICATIONS. OUR EXPERIENCE PRODUCING HIGH-ENERGY AIR CATHODES FOR OUR WORK WITH EXISTING METAL-AIR SYSTEMS WILL BE UTILIZED DURING THIS PROGRAM. OUR ESTABLISHED AIR CATHODES WILL BE MODIFIED, TO ACCOMMODATE A MARTIAN ENVIRONMENT, AND INCORPORATED INTO CELLS. SEVERAL DIFFERENT CHEMICALLY COMPOSED CATHODES WILL BE INVESTIGATED. THE ANTICIPATED RESULT OF THE PHASE 1 PROJECT IS A NEW BATTERY. ADVANTAGES OF THE PROPOSED MARTIAN BATTERY INCLUDE A LIGHT WEIGHT SOURCE FOR IN-SITU ENERGY PRODUCTION. IN ADDITION THE CONCEPTUAL BATTERY WILL BE CAPABLE OF ATMOSPHERIC GAS COLLECTION AND SEPARATION.
