Solid-State Battery Technologies for Advanced IoT Sensor Device Applications

Solid-state graft copolymer electrolytes for lithium battery applications.

Battery safety has been a very important research area over the past decade. Commercially available lithium ion batteries employ low flash point (< 80 °C), flammable, and volatile organic electrolytes. These organic based electrolyte systems are viable at ambient temperatures, but require a cooling system to ensure that temperatures do not exceed 80 °C. These cooling systems tend to increase ba...

Advanced Solid State Detector Technologies for Particle Detection

Preliminary experimental results obtained with hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) films are presented. This material has been selected for its unique capability to be deposited on top of integrated circuits and for its excellent radiation hardness. Particle sensors using vertical integration technology were produced. The Macropixel sensor showed a noise of 41e r.m.s. at a peaking time of 1...

Battery Charging Technologies for Advanced Submarine Requirements

Starting in 2009, MTU began combining the properties of its existing successful submarine solutions for all customers’ submarine designs with new market requests from submarine building shipyards. The resulting product specification was then augmented with the modern submarine requirements (partly described on the following pages). In 2011, the detailed concept study for these functional and pe...

Battery Materials for All - Solid State Batteries

The Grey group tackles a broad range of materials science and energy storage challenges that include various aspects of solid state chemistry, spectroscopy, and theoretical studies. To understand and control the materials that are desirable for energy storage applications, we use a suite of synthetic and analytical techniques, including diffraction, microscopy, solid state NMR, and computation....
