Delegation of the U.S. Department of Energy visited HIU

Tien Q. Duong (Department of Energy (DOE)), Khalil Amine, Michael Thackeray, Ira Bloom (Argonne National Lab), Marca Doeff (Lawrence Berkeley National Lab) and Patricia Smith (U.S. Naval Research Lab) paid a visit to HIU to have further dialogue on project collaborations. Stefano Passerini, Maximilian Fichtner and Arnulf Latz warmly welcomed the U.S. researchers at the Institute. HIU already cooperates with research labs of the DOE in some projects. For instance, the 1st International Symposium on Magnesium Batteries in July 2016 is jointly organised by HIU and Argonne National Lab. After an exchange of information and a guided tour through the laboratories the guests presented all members of the scientific staff of HIU with their activities in energy storage research. Tien Q. Duong started with an overview of the Vehicle Technologies Office energy storage R&D program. Michael M. Thackeray gave a presentation on advances in structural design of cathodes for high energy Li-ion cells and Marca Doeff followed him with a presentation on the insights into the high voltage behavior of NMC cathodes. Ira Bloom finished the talks with his appraisal of battery testing and life estimation in the United States.
