Solid Electrolyte Batteries
Ceramatec is currently developing solid electrolyte batteries using ceramic membrane separators. Most of the work involves either a sodium metal anode with a sodium conductive ceramic membrane or a lithium anode with lithium conductive ceramic membrane.
Utilization of these lightweight energetic anodes combined with a ceramic separator provides the possibility of battery systems with very high specific energy and energy densities.
Recent government funded solid electrolyte battery development programs have been the following:
- Sodium alkaline electrolyte air cathode - primary
- Lithium alkaline electrolyte air cathode - primary
- Lithium with sulfur cathode - rechargeable
- Lithium with MnO2 cathode - rechargeable
- Lithium with Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 - rechargeable
Ceramatec currently is a subcontractor on a government funded lithium anode battery program and is developing battery technology using both sodium and lithium based anodes in collaboration with a strategic partner.
Ceramatec has 2 pending ARPA-E battery proposals out. In one, Ceramatec is the primary contractor for a sodium based rechargeable battery and the other Ceramatec is subcontractor for a lithium based rechargeable battery.
