The Dow
Chemical Company and the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National
Laboratory announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for a
multi-year research collaboration to jointly develop the next generation of
materials for advanced battery technologies.
Dow and Argonne will be collaborating on several new materials
with the intent to improve the performance, cost competitiveness, and adoption
of these advanced materials in the energy storage industry.
“We
look forward to this collaboration with Argonne
on the development of new battery material technology to help meet the current
and future demands in the rapidly expanding energy storage industry,” says
David Klanecky, senior business director for Dow Energy Materials. “Dow’s
efforts to develop a fully integrated portfolio of advanced material solutions
will help achieve better performing and lower cost batteries.”
“We are pleased to work with Dow to create new advanced materials for
the energy storage industry,” says Jeff Chamberlain, energy storage major
initiatives leader for Argonne. “The goal
of this collaboration will be to use our common scientific and technical
capabilities to develop next-generation energy storage materials that address
the performance, cost, and adoption challenges found in today’s emerging
battery technologies.”
