At left, a traditional approach combines Si (blue spheres) with a polymer binder (light brown) plus carbon (dark brown spheres). At right, the new conductive polymer (purple) continues to bind tightly to the Si particles despite repeated swelling and shrinking. 1 in Si after 650 cycles without any conductive additive. —Gao Liu.

Projects will focus on novel, innovative materials and designs that decrease the size and increase the power density of electric drive systems by a factor of eight, while achieving cost reduction and performance improvement targets for more affordable electric drive systems. Covetic steel is one approach that can achieve this.
