mPhase Technologies Extends Cooperative Research Agreement With Rutgers.Work will continue to explore lithium-based chemistries for functional reserve microbatteries LITTLE FALLS Little Falls is the name of some places in the United States of America:
See: Over-the-counter. OTC See over-the-counter market (OTC). : XDSL) today announced that it has signed a an extension of its original cooperative research agreement with Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, as related to lithium-based chemistries for a functional reserve microbattery prototype. The amended statement of work represents an extension of a previous work plan which commenced in 2006, and enumerates a mutually agreed-upon menu of responsibilities and functional tasks that members of the Rutgers technical team will provide to mPhase going forward. The work plan's focus is for the partners to develop and characterize a functional reserve microbattery prototype developed around lithium-based chemistries. During the extended development period, mPhase and Rutgers have agreed to provide mutual assistance in applying for external grants to support their research as well as to participate in technical conferences to present their aggregate work. "By extending our research agreement with mPhase, we continue to explore applications for the nanotechnology-based chemistries and structures that our group has developed for high-density energy storage," said Glenn Amatucci, director of the Energy Storage Research Group at Rutgers. "Our work is built on and contributes to the nanotechnology research leadership of the university's department of materials science and engineering Materials science and engineering A multidisciplinary field concerned with the generation and application of knowledge relating to the composition, structure, and processing of materials to their properties and uses. ."

The batteries mPhase Technologies are developing can be either configured as individual power cells, or potentially configured in arrayed arrangements depending on the power needs of the electronic devices requiring power. Initially the batteries are targeted for powering small electronic devices and other applications requiring long shelf life and controlled activation. About ESRG: Energy Storage Research Group (ESRG) is a technically diverse applied research group of faculty, research staff, graduate, and undergraduate students within the Department of Materials Science and Engineering whose charter is the research, development and advancement of new energy storage device chemistries enabled by advancements in materials science materials science Study of the properties of solid materials and how those properties are determined by the material's composition and structure, both macroscopic and microscopic. . The group focuses on a wide range of nonaqueous and solid state chemistries, the majority of which incorporating ESRG developed nanocomposites which enable new abilities to deliver and store large amounts of power and energy per weight of device.
