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.
Electrochemical Energy Storage Efforts

We are a multidisciplinary team of world-renowned 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 through programs focused on creating advanced energy storage materials, electrode engineering, systems, 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 chemistries, as well as the techno-economic modeling software BatPaC.
