An Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC) project of the U.S. Department of Energy
EFRC:
Nanostructures of Electrical Energy Storage (NEES)
Research Team Lead:
Gary Rubloff
Host University:
University of Maryland
Summary:
Dr. Rubloff and his team are working to improve batteries by learning how the materials, lithium, and electrons interact at the nanometer scale, and to fabricate and measure these materials in a precise way.
The potential impact of the team’s work is huge. Lighter weight, more powerful batteries could make long-range electric cars for storing massive amounts of energy from wind farms and solar panel arrays a reality rather than an inspiration.
