The Electrochemistry Branch of the NASA Glenn Research Center is responsible for the
development of improved electrochemical technologies that result in high energy density
and long life battery and fuel cell for NASA missions. Many of these advances also have
applicability for DoD and commercial markets.
- Develops and tests components for advanced battery, fuel cell and regenerative fuel
cell systems including advanced anodes, cathodes, polymers and other electrolytes, and
membranes.
- Addresses cell and system level advancements for nickel-based and lithium-based
battery chemistries and proton exchange membrane fuel cell and electrolysis systems.
- Conducts extensive life testing of components as well as complete battery and
fuel cell systems.
- Performs system design, modeling and analysis of advanced electrochemical systems.
The branch's technical acumen along with a comprehensive database on electrochemical
design heritage provides performance and life prediction of batteries and fuel cells
to meet various aerospace and terrestrial energy storage requirements. Research is
performed both in-house and via specific contract awards in the area of unique battery
and fuel cell manufacturing activities. |
