Development of Advanced Lithium Rechargeable Batteries and Scalable Manufacturing Processes

Increasing demands for electric vehicles and more portable electronics have also increased the demand for rechargeable batteries with higher energy capacity. This project aims to develop novel manufacturing methods to produce advanced rechargeable batteries in a time and cost-efficient way. In this project, the interns perform hands-on experiments to investigate the application of the novel manufacturing methods, by fabricating sample battery cells, characterizing them and testing them. The result would be comparatively analyzed for the resulting capacity of the batteries and longevity of the batteries, also considering the efficiency of the applied manufacturing techniques. The project would result in a scalable manufacturing method for advanced rechargeable batteries, and the partnering organization would we at the forefront of providing society with the next-generation of batteries
