Research Facilities

Argonne’s Chemical Sciences and Engineering (CSE) division maintains a number of state-of-the-art facilities for advanced chemistry research. These facilities are dedicated to two main purposes: the analysis and creation of next-generation battery materials, and the analysis and generation of advanced catalysts for electrochemistry.

Research Facility

Accelerated Discovery Laboratory

Argonne’s Accelerated Discovery Laboratory (ADL) utilizes highly automated and parallel approaches for applying high-throughput and combinatorial experimental methodologies to accelerate the development of new materials.

Research Facility

Advanced Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) Facility

EPR spectroscopy is an indispensable technique for investigating the chemical, biochemical and catalytic reactions in systems containing unpaired electron spins.

Research Facility

Cell Analysis, Modeling, and Prototyping (CAMP) Facility

The CAMP Facility enables the design, fabrication and characterization of high-quality prototype electrodes and cells based on the latest discoveries in battery materials.

Research Facility

Electrochemical Analysis and Diagnostics Laboratory Facility

The EADL provides reliable, independent and unbiased evaluations of battery performance and life, which serve as progress measures for DOE and U.S. Advanced Battery Consortium projects.
