Why lithium iron phosphate batteries have greater second-life potential than nickel-cobalt batteries

These are slides I presented at a Volta Foundation webinar (the Battery Forum on BESS, to be specific) about my work on EV battery second life. Notably, this work was a collaboration with researchers from Carnegie Mellon, NREL, and ANL. My talk was recorded and posted here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AD7r0wxEuRk.

A Technoeconomic Analysis of Repurposing EV Batteries

This is a poster I made (my first as a graduate student!) to talk about the research I’ve done on EV battery repurposing. I made this poster about two thirds of the way through the project, so some things have definitely changed, but it does a good job of explaining our main finding: the economics of repurposing have a lot to do with the battery’s chemistry.
