About the Webinar
This National Lab Discovery Series webinar explored how researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory are using additive manufacturing and direct ink writing (DIW) to create three-dimensional electrode architectures for advanced energy storage technologies.
By precisely engineering electrode structure and porosity, researchers are developing approaches to improve ion and charge transport, increase active surface area, extend discharge duration, and enhance electrochemical performance. The session highlighted LLNL’s broader portfolio of structured electrode technologies and their potential applications across batteries, flow batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells, and other electrochemical systems.
Key Topics Covered
- How 3D printed electrode architectures can improve mass transport, charge transport, porosity, surface area, and overall device performance
- How direct ink writing enables rapid prototyping of electrode architectures that are difficult to produce using conventional manufacturing
- Potential applications across batteries, flow batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells, and related electrochemical technologies
- Research to improve manufacturability, scalability, and potential commercial deployment
- Live Q&A with LLNL researchers
