Powerful Partnership: Tesla and Dalhousie's Advanced Battery Research Lab

Send us a text

Cutting-edge battery research is happening at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The Jeff Dahn Research Group labs is a lithium-ion battery R&D facility that is globally recognized, not only for its partnership with Tesla but for building some of the world’s most advanced battery technologies.

This week, we welcome to the podcast Dr. Michael Metzger, Assistant Professor and Herzberg-Dahn Chair for Advanced Battery Research at Dalhousie University. Metzger is one of two scientists hired by Dalhousie in January 2021 when its partnership with Tesla was renewed. 

They discuss the lab's ambitious research goals with Tesla, including reducing costs, increasing energy density, extending battery life, ensuring safety, and advancing sustainability. The spotlight is on the lab's groundbreaking work with sodium-ion batteries—a sustainable alternative to lithium-ion. Michael explains the advantages of sodium-ion batteries, emphasizing their potential in various applications, especially in urban mobility.

Learn what is at the forefront of battery research and other projects that Dr. Michael Metzger and his colleagues are working on in this episode of the Reimagined Energy Podcast.
