DARPA: Morphogenic Interfaces (MINT)

The goal of the MINT program is to disrupt the trade-off between performance and persistence in the design of electrochemical systems by developing novel electrochemical interface materials for solid/solid, solid/liquid, and solid/vapor interfaces.

 

Focus areas (FA)

FA 1 -  Solid/solid charge transfer interfaces to enable solid-state batteries with unprecedented combinations of energy density and cycle life
FA2 - Solid/liquid and solid/vapor interfaces to enable high performance corrosion resistant coatings and alloys with superior fatigue strength in a corrosive environment.

 

 

Technical areas (TAs):
TA1 - Interface Modeling and Characterization
TA2 - Morphogenic Interface Materials – Design and Discovery
TA3 - System Level Demonstration

 

 

Funding: No fixed limit 

Duration: 4 years
