Summer project

Energy Transition Specialization · Cohort 2026

High-Energy Batteries Additive‑Driven Stability Compatible with Saudi Arabia’s Climate and Power Demands

This project focuses on testing new liquid electrolyte formulas designed to keep high-performance batteries running safely and reliably in harsh environments. The testing subjects them to severe conditions, including high charge/discharge speeds, extended operating ranges, and extreme heat above 50C°.By evaluating how well these chemical additives prevent battery degradation during rigorous stress tests, this work aims to develop long-lasting energy storage solutions built to withstand Saudi Arabia's intense desert climate.
