JCESR will create transformative materials that bridge the gap from today’s technology to tomorrow’s needs, ultimately achieving a diversity of batteries for a diversity of uses and meeting multiple performance criteria simultaneously, such as cost, energy density, charging rate, lifetime, and safety.
Transform electrochemistry and energy storage with disruptive new materials and phenomena deliberately created “from the bottom up” using design principles formulated at the atomic and molecular level.
Deliver transformational new concepts and materials for electrodes, electrolytes and interfaces that will enable a diversity of high performance next-generation batteries for transportation and the grid.
The official end of the Joint Center for Energy Storage Research (JCESR) innovation hub occurred in June 2023 after more than a decade of research and development dedicated to one of humanity’s most pressing challenges: the development of a better battery to help usher in… Read More
