Technical Capabilities

Argonne’s energy storage proficiency captures every point on the spectrum from invention to commercialization. Whatever your unique challenge, Argonne has a range of processes to help you imagine and design, analyze and compare, question and answer, reject and accept.

In order to achieve true breakthrough status, scientific advances require massive amounts of research, resources, and expertise. Argonne meets these demands with several crucial capabilities.

Discovery

Discovery

Argonne researchers make breakthrough discoveries with research on new materials such as electrolytes, electrodes, and interfaces in order to develop next-generation energy storage.

Materials Characterization

Materials Characterization

Leveraging Argonne’s Advanced Photon Source, the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility, and other world-class resources, Argonne researchers predict the properties of materials with extreme accuracy.

Process Scale-Up

Process Scale-Up

After modeling to understand the charge transport process they have developed in the laboratory, Argonne researchers modify the process as needed to enable economical commercial-scale production, overcoming a significant hurdle in transitioning new battery materials and technologies to the market.

PROCESS_MODELING1

Process and Systems Modeling

Argonne scientists perform multiscale modeling of charge transport processes in energy storage materials, predicting performance and costs up through the battery pack scale. By modeling entire grid and vehicle systems, they help determine how storage technology will enable the systems of the future.

CELL_FABRICATION1

Cell Fabrication

Argonne scientists keep the discovery-to-industry pipeline moving by fabricating commercial grade full-size prototype battery cells (pouch and 18650 cells) and battery electrodes necessary to test energy storage materials.

PERFORMANCE_TESTING1

Performance Testing

Argonne scientists study advanced battery systems by dissecting, harvesting, and analyzing materials from used and previously tested battery cells.
