The University of Tennessee is at the forefront of the groundbreaking effort to find a way to repair Army vehicle parts quickly on the battlefield. Leading the project are Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Tennessee Assistant Professors Katharine Page and Eric Lass, Department of Mechanical, Aerospace, & Biomedical Engineering - University of Tennessee, Knoxville Richard Rosenberg Distinguished Professor Tony Schmitz, and Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, UT Knoxville Fred N. Peebles Professor Dayakar Penumadu. The US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command and U.S. Army DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory hosted a demonstration with soldiers who had no previous additive manufacturing experience to print a crucial part that can be used to build or repair equipment in the field or at a deployed location.

Very excited about this partnership!
A team of #EngineeringVols has been tasked with helping Nissan Motor Corporation find a “second life” for it’s LEAF model electric vehicle batteries by turning them into power supplies. In partnership with the University of Tennessee-Oak Ridge Innovation Institute, the UT team is developing a rapidly deployable signature of what is happening to the material inside the battery so Nissan can test the battery’s different parts to assess the overall state of health. The TCE team is lead by Thomas Zawodzinski (UT-ORNL Governor’s Chair for Electrical Energy Conversion and Storage) and is assisted by Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science - University of Tennessee, Knoxville Chancellor Professor Leon Tolbert, Department of Materials Science and Engineering - University of Tennessee, Knoxville Assistant Professor Katharine Page, and Department of Mechanical, Aerospace, & Biomedical Engineering - University of Tennessee, Knoxville Associate Professor Peng Zhao.

We are excited to announce Eonix was awarded a $1.7M AFWERX phase II STTR with the Tickle College of Engineering at the University of Tennessee and Dr. Thomas Zawodzinski's research group focused on ultra-high-power batteries for directed energy, counter drone swarms, and e-VTOL systems. The funds will be used to design high conductivity electrolytes that are drop-in compatible with batteries manufactured today and meet the ambitious DoD energy storage targets for next gen platforms. We appreciate the support of the programs (Innovation Crossroads, Spark Innovation Center at the UT Research Park, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, UT Research Park at Cherokee Farm) and individuals (Lilly, Tom, John, Grady, Dennis) that were instrumental in helping us to establish an accelerated materials discovery laboratory capable of tackling these energy storage challenges! Also special thanks to J. Dana Teague at the United States Department of the Air Force for supporting and working with us on this project.
