Advanced Energy Storage Technologies for Extreme Conditions

Executive Summary

We will develop a new capability for designing and fabricating energy storage devices that function in extreme conditions detrimental to conventional devices, temperature, mechanical, stress. This new tool kit of materials and designs will enable high performance energy storage in conditions relevant to national security missions and the broader energy storage community.
