mPhase Technologies Testing Nanobattery

mPhase Technologies has received a consulting contract with a large defense and aerospace firm's R&D group to test the mPhase Nanobattery. The companies will collaborate on research and analysis of the mPhase nanobatteries' potential use in various aerospace applications. mPhase will test the characteristics of the coatings used in the nanotextured device. A significant part of the testing will be survivability of the coatings and additional air gun testing.

The mPhase battery won the 2006 Frost & Sullivan Energy Storage Enabling Technology Award. This "smart" battery design relies on nanostructures to separate electrolytes from the positive and negative electrodes, thereby preventing premature electrochemical reactions until activated. The storage device is expected to have an exceedingly long shelf life and set new levels for miniaturization and flexibility.
