1:30-2:10

Development of a High Temperature CFx Battery EaglePicher Technologies

Development of a High Temperature CFx Battery for Downhole Applications Umamaheswari Janakiraman, Rebecca Cragun, Ernest Ndzebet, Mario Destephen, Dong Zhang and Greg Miller Research and Development EaglePicher Technologies

2:30-3:30

Primary Lithium Batteries Using Hybrid Nanostructured Stephen Lipka

Next generation, high pulse-power batteries are currently required for naval sonobuoys. The batteries must meet a range of requirements, including low-cost, safety, long shelf life, and the ability to discharge at required current densities under a variety

3:30-4:30

High Energy Lithium Carbon Monofluoride Philip Holland

QinetiQ has developed and optimized high-energy lithium carbon monofluoride primary cells (Li/CFx) for space and defense applications and has tested their performance and safety in a number of different formats

17 June , Wednesday- Session 3: Advanced Materials and Processes I

12:30-1:30

Synthesis and Electrochemical Performance of LixMn2-yCoyO4-dCld Paula Latorre

Lithium manganese oxide spinel is a potential candidate for Li-ion battery cathodes due to its low toxicity, comparable capacity, and low cost. However, this spinel suffers from capacity fading due to fracturing of the cell structure.

1:30-2:30

Low Cost, High Speed, Automated Laser Electrode Cutter Weibing Xing ADA Technologies

The United States military has identified a need for increased range, payload and endurance for Group 1 Unmanned Air Systems (UAS) to carry out critical intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) missions down range.

2:30-3:30

The G4 Synergetics Advanced NiMH Battery William Gotts

G4 has developed a modular, low resistance, high power, large format rechargeable battery with integrated cooling based in part on an advanced Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) technology.

3:30-4:30
