Their work will center on developing safer, longer-lasting and more efficient next-generation battery technology, including alternatives to traditional lithium-ion cells. Lithium-ion batteries, which power everything from consumer electronics to electric vehicles, have disadvantages: They are sensitive to high temperatures and thermal runaway reactions, which can cause fires; they are difficult to recycle; and they require the expensive mining and processing of rare raw materials, such as lithium, nickel and cobalt.<\/p>\n<p>UTD researchers are investigating current battery system optimization as well as next-generation batteries with alternative materials and designs, such as solid-state batteries, which use solid electrolytes instead of organic liquids or polymers, and aqueous zinc-ion batteries, which are made from raw materials that are more abundant.<\/p>\n<p><b>New Facility <\/b><\/p>\n<p>The UTD-led initiative will include construction of a research facility within a 1,200-acre area of the <a href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3973240-1&amp;h=1344685491&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Frichardsoniq.com%2F&amp;a=Richardson+Innovation+Quarter\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Richardson Innovation Quarter<\/a>. The facility will include space for developing and manufacturing next-generation batteries, as well as energy storage solutions specifically tailored to defense applications. For example, defense systems operate at extremely cold or hot temperatures, encounter high shock and vibration, and may be stored for long periods then needed quickly for immediate use. Defense battery systems also are sometimes operated in environments where safety demands exceed current commercial requirements.<\/p>\n<p>While the U.S. has been a leader in battery research and technology development, battery manufacturing and supplies of critical raw materials have traditionally been located outside of the country. The DOD initiative reflects efforts to bring advanced manufacturing and supply chains to the U.S., Cho said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We identified a unique area that satisfies the Department of Defense&#8217;s needs for battery technology,&#8221; he said. &#8220;This investment by the DOD will facilitate collaboration with our industry partners to help ensure reliable, domestic manufacture of lithium-ion cells, as well as the battery packs that support defense systems and advanced commercial systems.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>Workforce Development<\/b><\/p>\n<p>UTD also will partner with community colleges in <span class=\"xn-location\">North Texas<\/span> to train future employees with a range of expertise.
