Battery Lifetime Extension

Increasing battery lifetime has broad benefits to various energy storage applications. Most significantly, this reduces life cycle financial and environmental cost. StorageX adresses this challenge by:

• Performing fundamental studies to understand majority and minority degradation mechanisms
• Developing active and inactive battery materials with exceptional chemical and cycle stability
• Using data-driven and machine learning approaches to predict lifetime without performing years-long tests
• Developing improved battery management systems (e.g. sensors for active feedback, charging protocols) to minimize damage during operation
• Developing life cycle valuation models to determine the marginal dollar value of lifetime extension and the technoeconomic cost-lifetime targets for various energy storage applications
