The Electrochemical Society has honored scientist Shirley Meng with the 2023 Battery Division Research Award for her innovative work on interfacial science, which has led to improved battery technologies.
Argonne scientists have developed a new electrolyte for lithium metal batteries to power electric vehicles. They would greatly increase vehicle range, cost less than current designs and run more safely, since the electrolyte is nonflammable.
The future of plastic means transitioning from a linear to a circular economy. Argonne researchers created a model to analyze circular pathways to a waste-free future for plastic.
Argonne received $3.5 million in funding to help accelerate battery production in America, lower costs, provide a domestic source of materials and reduce the environmental impact of electric vehicle batteries.
National labs are a sweet spot between academia and industry, says Muhoza, an Argonne scholar studying cutting-edge materials for batteries and other purposes.
Heckle’s deep technical knowledge and record of innovation to help advance U.S. technological leadership in materials manufacturing at a critical time.
