If you are an EV manufacturer dealing with limited driving range and battery safety concerns — this project developed a hybrid solid-state electrolyte (LLZO-LPSCl) that increases energy density and improves safety.
Next-Generation Solid-State Batteries for Safer and Higher-Capacity Electric Vehicles
Imagine if batteries didn't use liquid, which can leak or catch fire, but instead used a solid material like a ceramic. This makes them much safer and allows them to hold more energy in the same amount of space. It's like upgrading from a leaky sponge to a solid block of energy that lasts longer and charges faster.
What needed solving
Conventional lithium-ion batteries are hitting a performance ceiling in energy density and present safety risks. Europe lacks a domestic industrial value chain for the next generation of solid-state batteries, leaving it dependent on Asian competitors.
What was built
A lithium metal battery cell technology using a hybrid oxide-sulfide solid-state electrolyte (LLZO-LPSCl) and scalable manufacturing processes.
Who needs this
Who can put this to work
If you are a cell producer dealing with the high cost of scaling new chemistries — this project developed scalable manufacturing techniques for lithium metal batteries to accelerate cost reductions.
