Air Products and Chemicals of Allentown, Pennsylvania, has given Argonne its 4th
annual External Collaboration Award.
The company created the award to recognize the results of external-partner
collaborative research to demonstrate its commitment to building relationships
and strengthening collaborations with external partners, and to stimulate the
development of intellectual property with them.
The award recognizes the Battery Technology Department of Argonne's Chemical
Engineering Division for its work in evaluating Air Products' new electrolyte
salts, citing the group's understanding of the technology and needs of the
lithium-ion battery industry, as well as the direction the industry is taking
toward hybrid vehicles.

knowledge and capabilities and find answers to the most
challenging questions about its technology. Contracts are tailored to meet the
specific needs of the sponsor, built on Argonne's background research, and
information is maintained in confidence.
“Argonne scientists work best at coupling basic science to applied
technology,” said Steve Ban, director of Argonne's Office of Technology
Transfer. “Certainly the development of new electrolyte systems for advanced
lithium batteries fits that situation well and addresses a high priority need in
energy — both are key elements of the Argonne mission.”
