National electrochemical energy storage

What is NREL's electrochemical storage research?

NREL's electrochemical storage research ranges from materials discovery and development to advanced electrode design, cell evaluation, system design and development, engendering analysis, and lifetime analysis of secondary batteries. We also research electrocatalysts, hydrogen production, and electrons to molecules for longer-term storage.

Where can I find energy storage technologies available for licensing?

Search energy storage technologies available for licensing through our Intellectual Property Office. Through CalCharge and other partnerships, Berkeley Lab has strong collaborative ties with a broad range of energy storage companies in the Bay Area and beyond.

How to improve LFP electrochemical energy storage performance?

Between 2000 and 2010, researchers focused on improving LFP electrochemical energy storage performance by introducing nanometric carbon coating 6 and reducing particle size 7 to fully exploit the LFP Li-ion storage properties at high current rates.

What is the Energy Storage Summit?

This public summit convened and connected national and regional thought leaders across industry, government, communities, and the research enterprise to catalyze solutions and partnerships around specific challenges to America’s energy storage future.

What does NREL do?

To support this next-generation technology area, NREL researchers are leading materials discovery and characterization efforts to evaluate the impacts of interface, chemical, electrochemical, and mechanical factors on solid-state battery systems.
