Electrochemical Energy Storage
Electrochemical Energy Storage research and development programs span the battery technology field from basic materials research and diagnostics to prototyping and post-test analyses.
We are a multidisciplinary team of leading researchers developing advanced energy storage technologies in support of DOE goals, sponsors, and US industry. We have been an active research program for nearly 60 years supporting vehicle electrification, grid storage, and consumer portable power through programs focused on creating advanced energy storage materials, electrode engineering, systems design, and modeling for both mobile and stationary applications. Our efforts have lead to the development of several technologies including Li-rich NMC materials, fluorinated electrolytes, flow batteries for grid storage, sodium-ion and other non-Li- based chemistries, as well as the techno-economic modeling software BatPaC.
