Today, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is announcing partnering opportunities for industry to work with National Laboratories on manufacturing scale up and associated verification and validation for flow batteries and solid-state lithium batteries. These opportunities are part of a two phase Lab Call.

For the first phase, National Laboratories have identified their respective resources, facilities, and capabilities that can be leveraged. Today, DOE is publishing this list to stimulate collaboration between the National Laboratories and industry.

In the second phase, National Laboratories will develop full proposals with one or more domestic industry partners. A Cooperative Research and Development (CRADA) between each lab and its partners will be required to govern the work responsibilities for the project.

Find the list of National Laboratory capabilities and contacts here. Industry representatives are encouraged to reach out to potential National Laboratory partners.

Full applications are due on June 23, 2023.

This lab call is funded through the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy’s (EERE) Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Office (AMMTO). Projects funded through this lab call will support DOE’s Energy Storage Grand Challenge and the Long Duration Storage Shot. This lab call will also advance the mission of the Federal Consortium for Advanced Batteries (FCAB), a federal agency working group committed to ensuring a domestic supply of lithium batteries for a robust and secure domestic industrial base.
