Title:
High Throughput Experimentation for Energy Storage Cathode Development – Advanced Methods and Integration
Agreement Number:
1021543
Agreement Value:
$473,000.00
Agreement Date:
Aug 1, 2024 - Mar 31, 2027
Description:
The Project’s objective is to establish and refine advanced Li-ion methodologies that are amenable to high-throughput experimentation (HTE), along with enhancing capabilities, with the explicit goal of accelerating the experimentation process in the realms of lithium-ion cathode synthesis, electrode fabrication, and electrochemical evaluation. The focus is on advancing the efficiency and speed of these crucial stages in the development and assessment of battery components. The Project team will develop for HTE and where applicable automated, material synthesis, electrode preparation, and electrochemical testing. The new electrochemical methods that will be developed in high-throughput include electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiostatic intermittent titration technique, to more fully understand changes taking place in the cells during battery operation. The Project also aims to study disordered rocksalt materials in high-throughput and develop new compositions that overcome current limitations that are preventing these materials from being commercialized.
