Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 1
Lambton College of Applied Arts and Technology
$25,000.00
Design, Fabrication and Optimization of a Novel Aluminum-Air Battery
FY 2018-19
Summary
Sheer Technologies Inc is Canadian energy company that has been in business since 2012, is developing a variation of metal-air batteries for stationary and transportation applications. Recently, Sheer Tech began working on the development of a novel aluminum-air battery using widely available, economical and durable electrolyte and anode materials.*Sheer has partnered with Industrial Research Chairs for Colleges, Dr. Shahram Karimi, and his research team through this proposed project to develop a three-dimensional, nano-engineered nitrogen-doped titania-graphene oxide-manganese dioxide composite as the primary cathode material supported on nickel mesh and employ the cathode to fabricate, test, and optimize a series of battery cells and banks of various sizes for different energy storage platforms. *The successful completion of this applied research collaboration will significantly benefit Sheer Tech and has the potential to increase their annual revenue and technical and professional workforce. Researchers at Lambton College will also benefit from active participation in the proposed applied research project.*
