The Argonne National Laboratory will lead the $120 million project, which also will involve four other DOE national labs, five universities and four private enterprises.
A new Joint Center for Energy Storage Research at the Argonne lab outside Chicago will coordinate battery research nationwide, including two new R&D centers in Ann Arbor and Holland, Mich.
Business participants include Applied Materials, Dow Chemical, Johnson Controls and the non-profit Clean Energy Trust.
Labs joining the JCESR project are the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, Pacific Northwest National Lab, Sandia National Laboratories and LLAC National Accelerator Lab.
The five university partners are Northwestern, the University of Chicago, University of Illinois at Chicago, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the University of Michigan.
