Research abstract
"New materials and processing techniques are needed to provide a high power storage device for usage in a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). AVEKA has developed a unique nanophase V205 material that is capable of storing and delivering large amounts of energyin a short period of time. AVEKA will utilize its proprietary coating technology to form a nanocomposite laminate from this material which can be utilized as a high energy density battery cathode. This prototype battery will not need external cooling andwill be able to withstand wide extremes in operating environments. Rechargeable batteries, such as will be developed in this work, have several uses in commercial electronics and in electric vehicles."
