Materials scientists at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering along with colleagues at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have been selected to receive a $900,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to demonstrate a new design and 3D-printing process for manufacturing lithium-ion batteries.
The grant was part of a $57.9 million program announced in June to fund research into clean energy technologies. The UCLA project’s principal investigator is materials science and engineering professor Bruce Dunn, who holds UCLA’s Nippon Sheet Glass Company Chair. He is also UCLA Samueli’s associate dean for research and physical resources. Materials science and engineering professor Morris Wang, who joined UCLA from LLNL in 2020, is the co-principal investigator.
The team’s eventual goal is to improve lithium-ion batteries by increasing the available power,…
