Research

COBI researchers use some of the most advanced battery research infrastructure in the world. The team will operate out of new University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering laboratories built at Hyde Park Labs, equipped with a state-of-the-art dry room for battery cell assembly, high-throughput robotic synthesis platforms, and integrated testing facilities. These cutting-edge tools are paired with powerful computational resources—including machine learning models and Argonne’s Advanced Photon Source—for accelerating discovery and understanding materials at the molecular level.
