Advanced Battery & Energy Storage Research
ASTI develops advanced battery technologies and energy storage systems for aerospace, defense, electric vehicles, and grid applications. Our battery research encompasses lithium-ion optimization, solid-state batteries, advanced chemistries, battery management systems, and system integration for demanding applications requiring high energy density, safety, and reliability.
What is Advanced Battery Research?
Modern batteries must simultaneously achieve:
• High energy density: for extended operation
• High power density: for demanding loads
• Safety under abuse conditions: robust performance under stress
• Long cycle life and calendar life: for sustained performance
• Wide operating temperature range: for environmental adaptability
• Rapid charging capability: to minimize downtime
• Cost-effectiveness: for market adoption
Advanced battery research addresses these requirements through:
• New electrode materials and architectures
• Novel electrolytes and separators
• Cell design optimization
• Battery management and thermal management systems
• Pack-level integration
• Manufacturing process development
Critical applications include: electric and hybrid vehicles, grid-scale energy storage, aerospace and satellite power systems, military and defense systems, portable electronics and sensors, and renewable energy integration.
