Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Purpose: The assembly of battery cells requires a dry room due to extreme moisture sensitivity of cell components. The dry room will facilitate the accelerated development and translation of batteries from the lab to practical scales by studying every facet of development in a relevant dry room assembly environment.
Activities to be performed: The purpose of this project is to construct a 4,000 square foot dry room user facility, including battery cell assembly equipment, which can go down to -60 in Celsius dew points to enable research of both current Li-ion batteries and next-generation solid-state batteries.
Expected outcomes: This infrastructure fills a gap by providing researchers with an environment to assemble both current Li-ion and future solid-state batteries. The impact of this key infrastructure will be substantial because it will significantly accelerate the development timeline of these technologies to enter the electric vehicle (EV) market.
Intended beneficiaries: The intended beneficiaries include researchers, students, battery and automotive manufacturers, and the EV workforce.
Subrecipient activities: None.
