JCESR
Remember when Argonne Labs announced it’s JCESR research program. I thought an update was in order. George Crabtree, Director of the Joint Center for Energy Storage Research is giving an update this month, telling where JCESR is heading. If you will remember their goals of 1/5 the cost of lithium, 5 times more powerful, and available in five years. JCESR formed a consortium of 14 major institutions to push this forward, some national labs, some universities and some private companies. JCESR received a $120 million grant to develop the next generation of batteries, going beyond lithium ion.
The presentation is set for the Advanced Photon Source Auditorium at Argonne on the evening before the FVEAA meeting. I hope to be able to update FVEAA at the meeting. The lecture is free to the public, and does require registration. Once registered, you will be admitted to the poster session before, and light refreshments at a reception, the talk by Dr. Crabtree, and a Q&A session afterward. You can register for the program online: https://www.regonline.com/builder/site/Default.aspx?EventID=1300159 or you can relax in your own home/shop/library to view a streaming session at: http://new.livestream.com/argonnelive
I’ll keep you updated
