Alumina foam-based electrolyte for thermal batteries: design and performance evaluation (opens in new tab)

Thermal batteries are predominantly used in defense applications owing to their exceptional shelf life and high-power discharge capabilities. However, the electrolytes conventionally used in these batteries are typically fabricated via cold pressing, which imposes significant manufacturability limitations, particularly when aiming for thin and wide formats, and they require labor-intensive processing. Although numerous approaches have been explored to address these constraints, commercially v...
