Title

Scaling Up Pilot Production ofNanporous Membranes for Battery Storage Technologies

Description

The purpose of this project is to scale-up production of an advance battery membrane platform for market facilitation of safe, low-cost, and energy-dense batteries. The approach is to establish optimal processes for each key component of the membrane (polymer, polymer ink and roll-to-roll coating) to generate quality assurance and quality control metrics that will led to an in-house low rate initial production of the membrane for batteries. The intent is to establish that steady commercialized platform technology that will create multiple market opportunities in a variety of battery chemistries. The benefits of the project, as related to the California Investor-Owned Utility electricity ratepayers, are to increase grid resiliency, reduce financial burden for electricity services, and improved safety by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Successful execution of this project will be accelerating the deployment of zero-emission electric vehicles and grid-scale storage of low-cost renewable energy at massive scale in California.
