About this award
Volexion Inc. was awarded a $199,961 project grant from the Department of Energy Office of Science on June 28, 2021 to develop conformal graphene-based coatings for no-cobalt, high-performance lithium-ion batteries. The project supports the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049), which aims to deliver scientific discoveries and tools to transform understanding of nature and advance U.S. energy security and economic competitiveness through basic research. Under this award, Volexion will work to advance battery technology without the use of cobalt, a costly material subject to supply constraints. The company's proposed graphene coatings seek to maintain battery performance while removing cobalt from battery electrode formulations. Project outcomes could enable longer-lasting, lower-cost energy storage solutions to support grid modernization and transportation electrification goals.
