We create new battery materials, develop novel manufacturing and recycling techniques, and ensure battery reliability and safety through modeling and experimentation.
Introduction In the battery lab, we study the behavior lithium-ion batteries of varying chemistries under different conditions. Using this data, we create models, new test procedures, controls, and design systems that take advantage of high energy density storage.
The battery lab welcomes new students to join us, we have plenty to do! While working in the lab, students will be exposed to a variety of tasks/activities relating to energy storage systems, microgrids, electric vehicles, and energy management.
At present, lithium-ion batteries dominate the global energy storage market for both vehicles and stationary storage. They power devices ranging from smartphones to electric vehicles and can store energy from renewable sources like solar and wind.
The Battery Storage Expert Program covers the entire battery value chain, battery system management, energy storage systems, regulations and business models. Interested? Contact us!
The BATtery Cave: We have three Arbin Instruments battery test stations. These test stations are used for cell characterization, electric vehicle drive-cycle simulations, and long term degradation studies. The test station in the picture is a 12 channel system being used to test electric vehicle batteries.
The components of most (Li-ion or sodium-ion [Na-ion]) batteries you use regularly include: A current collector, which stores the energy. Solid-state batteries use solid electrolyte solutions, which don't need a different separator. That makes them safer because they are less prone to leakage from damage or swelling in hot temperatures.
