Recommendations and conclusions from the advanced solid state lithium batteries workshop

This paper presents the results of several discussion sessions that were he ld during the workshop. The workshop participants gathered on the final mor ning of the conference to propose a set of recommendations for DOE manageme nt's consideration. In addition to this general discussion session, an advi sory panel (composed of DOE management, national laboratory team leaders, r epresentatives of battery developers and university researchers) was conven ed for 2 h to discuss major outcomes of the conference. The results of both of these sessions are reported in this paper. Specifically, this paper pre sents recommended research priorities for each of the battery components, a node, electrolyte and cathode, and a number of programmatic and organizatio nal recommendations.
