To supply excellent performance, production, and development of batteries, manufacturers are focusing on R&D developments. The US Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory, in collaboration with the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), developed a novel particle-level cathode coating for LIBs in July 2020 to improve their safety and life. In addition, at Argonne National Laboratory, DOE researchers have opened the ReCell Site, a LIB recycling center. These recycled components can be employed in new batteries, decreasing production costs by 10% to 30% and lowering the overall cost of electric vehicles. XNRGI is a Li battery firm that specializes in next-generation energy storage. Grid-scale energy storage is provided by the business, which has also introduced a porous silicon XNRGI storage technology for rechargeable batteries.
