This federal contract award is for research on high-energy density lithium-sulfur batteries capable of operating in the extreme temperatures and corrosive atmosphere of Venus. The $644,363.00 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Dayton Research Institute Division, a well-established provider of advanced research and development services to federal agencies. The goal is to develop rechargeable molten lithium-sulfur batteries incorporating solid-state, high-temperature stable electrolytes that can enable long cycle life, high energy and power density, low self-discharge, and improved safety for extended duration space missions. This research aims to address the limitations of previous battery technologies, such as sodium-sulfur, that have proven challenging for Venus exploration. The University of Dayton is not a small business, and this grant does not designate a small business set-aside.
