How the Grid Storage Launchpad is Accelerating EV Research
PNNL's new energy storage facility now houses the Lab's vehicle battery research programs, which have more lab space and a slew of new capabilities.
Xiao Receives Young Researcher Award
PNNL’s Jie Xiao was recently recognized for her outstanding contribution to basic and applied research on lithium-ion batteries and beyond by the International Automotive Lithium Battery Association.
Longer Lasting Sodium-Ion Batteries on the Horizon
A new longer-lasting sodium-ion battery design is much more durable and reliable in lab tests. After 300 charging cycles, it retained 90 percent of its charging capacity.
More Range for Electric Vehicle Batteries on the Horizon
A seemingly simple shift in lithium-ion battery manufacturing could pay big dividends, improving electric vehicles’ ability to store more energy per charge and to withstand more charging cycles.
BCI 2024
PNNL is presenting bold breakthroughs and insights at the BCI 2024 Convention and Power Mart Expo, celebrating Battery Council International's 100 years of leadership and the future of energy storage.
Research Hints at Double the Driving Range for Electric Vehicles
When it comes to the special sauce of batteries, PNNL researchers say it's all about the salt concentration.
Shining a Light Source on Batteries
A research effort under the PNNL-led Battery500 Consortium solved a longtime debate surrounding a structure in lithium-metal battery anodes.
Redefining Electrolyte Energetics
This seminar series is organized and sponsored by Battery500 Consortium, a multi-institute program supported by the Department of Energy to accelerate development and manufacturing of next-generation batteries for electrical vehicles.
Powering Up to Address Challenges in Energy Storage
In 2006, battery research was practically non-existent at PNNL. Today, the lab is lauded for its battery research. How did PNNL go from a new player to a leader in state-of-the-art storage for EVs and the grid?
