This National Science Foundation (NSF) SBIR Phase I award to Sirenopt Inc. for $274,770 provides funding to develop a novel cold atmospheric plasma sensor for real-time measurement of multiple lithium-ion battery electrode properties during manufacturing. The sensor will be integrated into battery electrode coating processes to enable intelligent decision-making and improved efficiency, reducing economic and environmental costs associated with defective electrodes and overbuilding battery packs. The project aims to design and integrate an array of plasma sensors into a pilot coating process, develop an advanced control system, and leverage physics-based artificial intelligence models to predict critical electrode properties in parallel. This work supports the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program's objectives of advancing innovative technologies with potential for societal and economic impact.
