Zoom Webinar
Join us for this seminar where Dr. Jun Liu will discuss the research needs for electric vehicles and energy storage. He will provide an overview of the Battery500 Consortium, including its history, current work, and future efforts. Lastly, he will address the scientific challenges to increase today’s battery technology capacity to up to 500 Wh kg-1 to achieve 1,000 charge/discharge cycles, and reduce the cost of cells significantly to less than $100 kWh-1.
The Battery500 team consists of leading experts from the national laboratories, academia, and industry to integrate materials science, electrochemistry, and cell engineering to make electric vehicle batteries more reliable, stable, safer, and affordable to everyone.
