Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL) is a lead laboratory for management of the Applied Battery and Electrochemical Research Program, which provides supporting research for the Department of Energy (DOE) Electrochemical Systems research programs. The general objective of this program is to help provide advanced electrochemical systems that can satisfy stringent performance and economic requirements for electric vehicle and stationary energy storage applications. The specific goal of the program is to identify the most promising electrochemical technologies and transfer them to industry and/or another DOE program for further development and scale-up. General problem areas addressed by the program include identification of new electrochemical couples for advanced batteries, determination of technical feasibility of new couples, improvements in battery components, and establishment of engineering principles applicable to batteries and electrochemical processes. Major emphasis is given to applied research that will lead to superior performance and lower life-cycle costs. The program is divided into four major areas: Exploratory Battery R and D, Engineering-Science Research, Materials Research, and Electrolytic Processes. Progress is reported.
