Are there any research universities doing work on new battery technology?

Of course there are. The whole point is commercialisation.
For example, I am 100% sure that most of the new EV companies have partnerships with universities about battery research.
However, they might have invested limited resources so that commercialisation might take longer than established battery companies who can throw all their money towards battery r&d
As long as they grow, get more revenues and profits then I expect them to rapidly increase r&d on batteries. This might happen either next year or in 2023
The fact that Chinese consumers are finally happy to spend Porsche + money on a totally new, unproven, unknown, Chinese brand ... that's showing some promise with Chinese consumer behaviour... like we're not even talking HongQi or something established. The Japanese and Koreans both supported only their own domestic products during their development phase. Even when their products were both poor quality and not exactly inexpensive. Now they lead many, many fields.
How many of these are they making this year? This will help Evergrande with their cash flow.
