Li–S BESS Prototype (42 Ah, 48 V)

Grid-scale Energy Storage

Led development and validation of a lithium-sulfur battery energy storage prototype, including cell design, module integration, and field testing with academic partners.

  • Defined cell requirements and module architecture.
  • Coordinated formation, cycling, and safety validation.
  • Collaborated with external labs for independent testing.

Electrolyte & Separator DOE Platform

Li–S and Li-metal Cells

Built a structured DOE framework to evaluate electrolyte and separator combinations, supported by automated data analysis.

  • Designed factorial DOEs for multiple formulations.
  • Implemented Python-based data pipelines for Neware data.
  • Identified stable low-shuttle electrolyte windows.

Pilot-line Cell Manufacturing Support

Process Development

Supported transition from R&D cells to pilot-line production by refining coating, stacking, and formation processes.

  • Optimized cathode loading and coating uniformity.
  • Defined acceptance criteria using SPC and capability indices.
  • Collaborated with equipment vendors and operators.
