Description
The NASA Technology Transfer Program is seeking companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture, and market a technology that triggers Li-ion battery cells into thermal runaway using a high-powered infrared laser. This technology allows engineers to test and improve the safety performance of overheated batteries. The license rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use.
• The technology uses a high-powered infrared laser to trigger Li-ion battery cells into thermal runaway.
• The laser method does not require any internal modification of the test subject cell design nor require patch heating to trigger a short-circuit.
• The technology can work on any commercial battery cell design with only exterior surface treatment required.
• NASA provides no funding in conjunction with these potential licenses.
