The Ohio State University announced Nov. 13 the creation of a new battery cell research and development center.
Slated to open in April 2025, the lab will accelerate the domestic development of battery cell materials and manufacturing technologies while providing an experiential learning setting for workforce development.
With $22 million in commitments to date, this project will include the renovation of a 25,000-square-foot facility in Ohio State’s innovation district into a dedicated battery cell research, production and education support space.
Honda will serve as lead foundational partner for the project and has committed $15 million for the research and development center.
