About Sadoway Labs Foundation
Pioneering Clean Energy and Manufacturing Through Extreme Electrochemistry
​Our non-profit lab is a crucible of innovation, where we take on high‑impact, ambitious projects aimed at solving industrial sustainability challenges.
We expand the practical applications of extreme electrochemistry to accelerate progress toward a low‑carbon industrial economy.
Sadoway Labs Foundation (SLF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing clean energy and clean manufacturing through the power of extreme electrochemistry (XE).
Founded by Professor Donald Sadoway, Sadoway Labs was established to break free from traditional research constraints and accelerate innovation in decarbonization technologies. From the development of the Whole Earth Battery to pioneering green metals and CO2 solutions, SLF is at the forefront of clean technology innovation.​​
Mission
Research. Innovation. Collaboration. Education.
At Sadoway Labs, we use extreme electrochemistry (XE) technologies to support reductions in industrial carbon use. Through highly-focused research and innovation, catalytic collaboration, and prioritizing education, we develop and implement practical electrochemical solutions targeting industrial emissions.
Vision
We believe in a future where clean, cost‑effective energy and manufacturing technologies are widely adopted. Our goal is to lead the transformation of the energy and manufacturing landscape by developing scalable technologies that have a global impact.
