National Research Council of Canada has a requirement for the supply of four bay glovebox system to support the battery research and prototyping facility located CEI M12. The glovebox will support battery assembly work to validate the performance of new material. The assemblies may include technologies developed at other AST and CEI facilities as well as future NRC collaborations. The relevant expertise and skills will be invaluable for future NRC collaborations within the newly forming electric vehicle value chain. This facility will help develop solutions for industry, including SME’s, to address gaps around battery pack and modules manufacturing challenges, including cooling strategies, materials, battery density, pack burden, and second life use.
The glovebox system will house equipment for small scale battery materials synthesis used to validate the performance of the new materials (intermediate screening) and reduce cost and time of new battery materials and chemistry discoveries.
