  A NEW HIGH CAPACITY ANODE COMPOSITE BASED ON MESOPOROUS SILICON IS PROPOSED. BY VIRTUE OF A STRUCTURE THAT RESEMBLES A PSEUDO ONE-DIMENSIONAL PHASE, THE ACTIVE ANODE MATERIAL WILL BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE SIGNIFICANT VOLUME CHANGES EXPECTED UPON ALLOYING AND DE-ALLOYING WITH LITHIUM. THE MESOPOROSITY WILL BE CREATED WITHOUT THE AID OF A SURFACTANT TEMPLATE USING A NOVEL HIGH VOLUME SYNTHETIC PROCESS. THE ANODE COMPOSITE BASED ON THIS MATERIAL IS DESIGNED TO HAVE A REVERSIBLE LI-ION CAPACITY EXCEEDING 600 MAH/G OR NEARLY TWICE THAT OBTAINABLE WITH GRAPHITE ANODES; INDEED MUCH HIGHER CAPACITIES COULD BE PRACTICALLY ATTAINABLE. PHASE I SUCCESSFULLY DEMONSTRATED THE SYNTHESIS OF THIS NEW MESO-SI MATERIAL AS WELL AS ITS HIGH ELECTROCHEMICAL ACTIVITY AND RECHARGEABILITY. AN EXPANDED INVESTIGATION ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF MESOPOROUS SI-BASED LI-ION ANODE IS THE PRINCIPAL OBJECTIVE IN PHASE II. THE OPTIMUM ANODE WILL BE EVALUATED IN LI-ION CELLS CONTAINING 4V OXIDE CATHODES.

  NASA'S VISION FOR SPACE EXPLORATION ADVOCATES A RETURN TO THE MOON AND INVOLVES A PL AN OF USING THE MOON AS A BASE OF FOR MISSIONS TO OTHER PLANETS. EARLY RETURN MISSIONS TO THE MOON WILL INVOLVE LUNAR EXPLORATION WITH ROBOTIC SPACECRAFTS WITH INSTRUMENTAL PAYLOADS FOR SCIENTIFIC MEASUREMENTS OF LUNAR SURFACE FEATURES SUCH AS ROCKS, SOIL, AND MINERALS. THESE INSTRUMENT PAYLOADS WILL BE HELPFUL IN IDENTIFYING LUNAR RESOURCES THAT CAN BE USED IN ESTABLISHING EXTENDED HUMAN PRESENCE. RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY HAS BEEN ACTIVELY INVESTIGATED AS A LUNAR AS WELL AS A MARS SURFACE ROBOTIC INVESTIGATIVE TOOL FOR MINERALS. CURRENT RAMAN INSTRUMENTS FOR SPACE EXPLORATION UTILIZE A SINGLE EXCITATION WAVELENGTH, WITH A LASER IN THE NEAR-INFRARED (IR) TO MINIMIZE FLUORESCENCE BACKGROUND. THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO EMPLOY A DUAL EXCITATION (VISIBLE AND NEAR-IR LASERS) RAMAN INSTRUMENT TO MINIMIZE BACKGROUND EMISSION. TO ACHIEVE THIS GOAL, A DUAL EXCITATION WAVELENGTH FIBER OPTICALLY COUPLED RAMAN PROBE HEAD AND A COMPACT WIDE SPECTRAL RANGE ECHELLE SPECTROGRAPH WERE DEMONSTREATED IN PHASE I. PHASE II WILL INTEGRATE THE PROBE INTO A COMPACT INSTRUMENT FOR MINERALOGICAL ANALYSIS CAPABLE OF DEPLOYMENT ON A ROVER-TYPE OF VEHICLE.
