ADA Technologies Awarded $70k Contract to Develop Advanced Electrochemical Ultracapacitors for Military Hybrid Electronic Vehicles |
|
| (Nanowerk News) ADA Technologies, Inc. received an $70,000 contract from the U.S. Army for Phase I research into the development of advanced electrochemical ultracapacitor systems for use in hybrid electronic vehicles (HEVs) for high power military applications. | |
| ADA's research will leverage its recent work funded by the National Science Foundation in which new low cost carbon nanotube (CNT) nanocomposite electrode materials were developed and proven in pouch-cell testing. | |
| "ADA has considerable expertise in CNT nanotechnology. We expect the successful completion of this Phase I research to lead to development of ultracapacitors with the energy and power densities needed for military applications. In addition, these ultracapacitors will have safe operation over a wide temperature range and excellent cycle life, making them unique in the market," said Douglas Campbell, ADA R&D program manager. | |
| ADA's work will be performed in partnership with San Diego, California based Maxwell Technologies, Inc., a commercial provider of ultracapacitors for HEV applications. | |
| Note: This material is based upon work supported by the US Army Tank-Automotive Research Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC) under Contract No. W56HZV-11-C-0058. | |
