Spanish SME applying electrochemistry and sensor technologies to battery systems, critical raw materials recovery, and environmental monitoring across EU research consortia.
LOMARTOV is a Spanish technology SME specializing in electrochemistry, sensor development, and printed electronics for industrial applications. They engineer solutions across battery technologies, critical raw materials recovery, and smart sensing — contributing hardware prototyping, electrochemical expertise, and sensor integration to research consortia. Their work spans from printed biosensors on paper substrates to battery thermal management systems and cobalt recovery from recycled batteries. Based in Burjassot (Valencia region), they operate as a technical partner bridging lab-scale electrochemical innovations to industrial deployment.
Core contributor across CROCODILE (battery recycling electrochemistry), ASTRABAT (solid-state Li-ion), HYBRIS (redox flow batteries), i-HeCoBatt (EV battery thermal management), and CHemPGM (platinum group metal electrochemistry).
INNPAPER focused on paper-based printed biosensors and smart labelling; i-HeCoBatt involved additive printed sensor technology for battery packs.
CROCODILE targeted cobalt recovery via electrochemistry, e.THROUGH addressed sustainable mining and secondary materials recovery, and CHemPGM covers platinum group metals supply chain sustainability.
NENU2PHAR targets PHA-based bioplastics for food packaging and bioplastic recycling processes.
SCENARIOS (their largest funded project at EUR 450K) addresses PFAS contamination using new approach methodologies and integrated testing strategies.
LOMARTOV's early H2020 work (2018-2019) centered on sustainable mining, critical raw materials recovery, and printed electronics on cellulose substrates — essentially applying electrochemistry to resource extraction and paper-based sensing. From 2020 onward, their focus shifted toward energy storage (solid-state batteries, redox flow batteries), bioplastics, and environmental health assessment. The trajectory shows a clear move from materials recovery toward energy systems and circular economy applications, with electrochemistry remaining the constant technical thread.
LOMARTOV is pivoting toward battery energy storage systems and environmental safety testing, making them a strong fit for future projects in green energy, battery lifecycle management, or PFAS remediation.
LOMARTOV operates exclusively as a consortium participant — they have never coordinated an H2020 project, which is typical for a specialist SME contributing specific technical capabilities rather than managing large research programs. With 123 unique partners across 26 countries in just 10 projects, they work in large, diverse consortia (averaging 12+ partners per project). This wide network without repeat coordination suggests they are sought after for their niche electrochemical and sensing expertise rather than building a fixed circle of collaborators.
With 123 unique partners across 26 countries from only 10 projects, LOMARTOV has built a remarkably broad European network. Their collaborations span nearly all EU member states, indicating they integrate well into large multinational consortia regardless of geographic focus.
LOMARTOV's distinguishing strength is their ability to apply electrochemistry across very different application domains — from recovering cobalt out of spent batteries to printing biosensors on paper to managing redox flow battery systems. Few SMEs can credibly contribute to both raw materials recycling and advanced energy storage projects. For consortium builders, they offer a versatile electrochemistry and sensor integration partner that has proven reliable across 10 diverse projects without needing to lead, making them low-risk to onboard.
