This from a NEAH article in Washington news.

"With assistance of the national laboratory, Neah Power hopes to identify the changes that need to be made so the practical application matches up with the theoretical modeling.

There’s long been a search to build a better battery that can store and produce more energy and “live forever and cost nothing,” said Ira Bloom, senior chemist and group leader at Argonne National Laboratory."

Ira Bloom is the Group Lead at the Post Test Facility and the chemical-analysis-and-diagnostics-laboratory-eadl at Argonne, not a battery design lead.

The deconstructive testing will break the battery apart so they can study the battery materials in a pure environment, that is where they will learn about the existing "recipe" and its problems.

The answer is in the Technology group NEAH's grant was given in. If it was Battery R&D which is building a battery then the Technology Group would have been in Vehicles Technology because that is where the Battery R & D Program is under.

NEAHs grant is in Advanced Manufacturing thus they are looking at material composition.
