Contribution: Industrial Research Assistance Program – Contributions to Firms

E-Zn Inc.

$338,000.00

Optimization of Internal Cell Architecture

FY 2020-21 · 2020-06-01

Summary
This project will focus on a key component of e-Zn’s technology: the internal design of the power cell. The R&D effort will involve developing internal materials, architecture and processing methods, designing methodologies to evaluate performance, and conducting a thorough testing program. The key outcome will be the development of an optimized cell that meet the needs of e-Zn’s commercial product, and has a repeatable manufacturing process.

Description (French)
Ce projet se concentrera sur un élément clé de la technologie d'e-Zn : la conception interne de la pile électrique. L'effort de R-D consistera à mettre au point des matériaux, une architecture et des méthodes de traitement internes, à concevoir des méthodologies pour évaluer les performances et à mener un programme d'essai complet. Le résultat principal sera la mise au point d'une cellule optimisée qui répondra aux besoins du produit commercial d'e-Zn, et dont le procédé de fabrication sera reproductible.
