Description
The Promethean Clay program aims to produce energy storage devices utilizing mechanically co-designed materials, overcoming the limitations of rigid exoskeletons in existing systems. The program has three phases, with a two-year Phase 1 demonstrating the design of an energy storage framework that can shed its rigid exoskeleton. The goals of the Proposers Day event are to introduce the science and technology community to the Promethean Clay program vision and goals, facilitate interaction between researchers, collect questions, and encourage teaming arrangements.
Key aspects of the program include:
• Developing energy storage devices with improved performance and safety
• Creating a new class of systems that overcome the limitations of rigid exoskeletons
• Enabling domestic sourcing of materials and manufacturing
• Facilitating teaming arrangements among organizations with relevant expertise and capabilities
