Imagine a battery that charges almost instantly and doesn't use toxic chemicals. This project creates these 'super-batteries' using materials made from plants and laser-treated carbon. It's like turning organic waste into a high-tech power source that can be woven into clothes or put into cars.
Current energy storage relies on toxic chemicals and critical raw materials that are expensive and environmentally damaging. Additionally, batteries in wearables are often too rigid and slow to charge for practical medical use.
A suite of high-energy supercapacitors featuring laser-deposited graphene electrodes, bio-based activated carbons, and green ionic liquid electrolytes.
If you are a medical clothing manufacturer dealing with bulky, rigid batteries in health-monitoring garments — this project developed flexible supercapacitors that integrate into fabric. This allows for lightweight, wearable power sources that are safer for the skin.
If you are a fuel cell vehicle producer dealing with the slow charging or degradation of traditional batteries — this project developed high-energy density supercapacitors. These components replace batteries to eliminate the use of critical raw materials and toxic chemicals.
If you are a carbon electrode manufacturer dealing with expensive and polluting chemical synthesis — this project developed a laser-based process for direct graphene deposition. This enables a single-step fabrication method that reduces production costs and environmental footprint.
The project focuses on cost-effective and sustainable processes, specifically using bio-based precursors and laser-assisted methods to reduce the overall production cost compared to existing technologies.
Yes, the project includes the development of industrially relevant processes for electrode filling, production upscaling, and a continuous digitalized production process.
Based on available project data, the project is in the execution phase (2023-2025) and focuses on establishing new industrial value chains, but specific licensing terms are not listed.
The project runs from 2023-01-01 to 2025-12-31, suggesting that finalized results and potential commercial transfers will be available toward the end of 2025.
The project develops innovative energy management systems specifically designed to support the integration of these supercapacitors into automotive applications.
The consortium is strongly geared toward commercialization, with a 43% industry ratio comprising 6 industrial partners and 7 SMEs. With 14 partners across 6 European countries, the group balances academic research (2 universities, 6 research centers) with practical manufacturing expertise, indicating a high likelihood of technology transfer to the automotive and textile sectors.
