Batteries

Batteries are one of the biggest topics of Stanford energy research. Scientists and engineers are testing a wide variety of promising, low-cost battery materials, including lithium-metal, nickel-iron and aluminum. Several labs are also working to improve solid oxide storage devices, conventional lithium-ion batteries and alternatives made with lithium-sulfur and other materials. Researchers are also working on optimization of battery use, lifecycle extension, and recycling of battery materials.
