STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)
Research and Development
and IC Postdoc Program Support.
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Problem/Purpose Background
In recent contract and grant work, George Washington University (GWU) has
investigated materials for use as lithiuin-ion
electrodes and supervised several IC postdocs. The current SOW expands the scope of
this research and development and adds tasking for IC postdoc program support.
The Sponsor's Contract Officer's Technical Representative (COTR) will oversee the
technical progress of this contract The GWU team working on this project is encouraged
to maintain close and continuing contacts with the designated COTR.
1.2 Project Objectives.
The objectives of this project are to investigate the incorporation of
materials into solid state ceramic batteries to improve the ionic and electron flows,
investigate the incorporation of tin and silicon within the HCNS materials to increase the
capacity of lithium-ion electrodes, and provide support to the IC postdoc program.
1.3 Scope of Work
This effort is expected to require approximately for a non-severable
period of one year Please note that a combination of graduate students, undergradc,
postdoctoral student(s), plus Subcontracts within GWU and with other Universities,
supervised by a professor acting as principle investigator (PI), is expected to be required).
