JCESR is a collaborative team of engineers and scientists with very broad backgrounds. In the battery space we are now facing challenges that required a multidisciplinary approach that no single group can achieve. Made up of 18 partner institutions, JCESR’s diversity and the opportunity for collaboration across disciplines is what makes us unique. We have the best of the best from each of our partner organizations. The JCESR team is much greater than the sum of its parts.

Untapped Potential: The Need and Opportunity for High-Voltage Aqueous Redox Flow Batteries
Prior studies of the techno-economic design space for aqueous redox flow batteries (AqRFBs) have almost exclusively focused on cell potentials ≤1.5 V, due, at least in part, to the belief that battery operation at higher cell potentials in not feasible due to electrolyte decomposition. However, … Read More

Intercalation of Ca into a Highly Defective Manganese Oxide at Room Temperature
Nanocrystals of layered MnOx containing a high concentration of atomic defects and lattice water are shown to have remarkable electrochemical activity towards Ca2+ , amounting to a capacity of ~130 mAh/g at room temperature. Multimodal characterization revealed the notable degree of intercalation by probing the … Read More
