Solid State High Energy Density Batteries

Imperia Batteries, a division of Physical Sciences Inc., proposes to develop and prototype a modular, safe, high energy density Jetboot battery system by combining next generation electrode and separator technologies. The modular design will allow for a single or dual module battery pack providing a lightweight and high capacity battery solution, respectively. Imperia’s battery improves safety by reducing the possibility of a cell short-circuit via electrode misalignment, gas bubble generation, or by melting or shrinking of the separator when exposed to high temperatures. This safety technology will be combined with a proven high capacity silicon composite anode. This anode material has been demonstrated to reduce cell weight and increase energy density. During the Phase II program, a high capacity unit cell will be designed and incorporated into the single and dual module designs. Additionally, Imperia will produce prototype battery units. Imperia will work with Patriot3 to integrate those batteries into cases designed and produced by Patriot3 to ensure the battery meets the form, fit, and function of the Jetboot application. Modules will be submitted for UN38.3 certification. This program will result in safe batteries with ~50% increase in energy over the current COTS solution.
