Platform Technologies for Transformative Battery Manufacturing

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is being issued by the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy;apos;s (EERE) Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Office (AMMTO). The goals of this FOA are to advance manufacturing platform technologies in the following specific areas: Platforms for next generation battery manufacturing - focusing on manufacturability and scalability of critical battery components and system architectures as well as the role of machines for battery techonlogies (i.e., sodium-ion batteries (NIBs), flow batteries, and nanolayered films) Smart manufacturing platforms for battery production - developing innovative ways to revolutionize battery prouction by maximizing the benefits of smart manufacturing This FOA will support activities to advance platform techonologies that enable flexible, scalable, and highly controllable battery manufacturing processes. Topics include: 1. Platforms for Next Generation Battery Manufacturing 1.1 Processes and Machines for Sodium-ion Batteries 1.2 Processes and Design for Manufacturability of Flow Batteries 1.3 Scalable Manufacturing of Nanolayered Films for Energy Storage 2. Smart Manufacturing Platforms for Battery Production Please see https://eere-exchange.energy.gov for full funding announcement.
