SUPERVALENT BATTERY
Ignition Grant

Don Sadoway
Department of Materials Science and Engineering

In the rechargeable battery field, the quest for higher energy density at lower cost will require radical innovation if we are to get beyond today's state of the art, namely, lithium-ion technology. This project seeks to build a proof-of-concept system for a novel battery utilizing supervalent technology and dramatically increasing the battery energy density.
