Abstract Scope |
It is widely known that electric devices require batteries are moving into lightweight LiFePO4 based systems. It is expected that the advancement in this field be expanded to the OuterSpace. While the use of Lithium on energy storage devices might be a constrain as a sustainable component in extra-terrestrial applications, the use of sodium or titania systems could be an alternative material, given its presence on Regolith. In this project, we aim to evaluate the feasibility of producing anode electrodes based on alternative materials such as titania using a Digital Laser Processing 3D printing technology. Different TiO2/Carbon combinations as well as optimizations of debinding, and sintering stages have been investigated to produce mechanically robust electrodes. The manufactures anodes have been assembled within battery and their electrical performance will be shown in this talk. Future studies in this research program are being focused on producing complex 3D electrode structures. |
