High-Capacity Semi-Solid-State Battery Systems for Electric Vehicles and Energy Storage

transportTestedTRL 5

Imagine a battery that acts like a hybrid between a liquid and a solid, making it safer and much more powerful. It's like upgrading from a standard fuel tank to one that holds twice as much energy but is lighter and doesn't leak. This tech also uses wireless sensors to keep track of battery health without needing heavy wiring.

The business problem

What needed solving

Current batteries lack the energy density and safety required for mass-market EV adoption and high-demand applications like aeronautics. They also suffer from complex wiring and poor end-of-life recyclability.

The solution

What was built

A modular semi-solid-state battery pack system featuring a 35Ah cell, a wireless Battery Management System with printed sensors, and a polymer-based thermal management solution.

Target: Electric Vehicle Manufacturer

If you are an EV manufacturer dealing with range anxiety and slow charging — this project developed semi-solid-state batteries that enable ranges beyond 500 km and almost double the energy density of conventional lithium-ion cells.

Aerospace
mid-size
Target: Electric Aircraft Developer

If you are an aircraft developer dealing with strict weight limits and safety risks — this project developed lightweight polymer-based components and semi-solid-state technology to increase energy density and thermal stability.

Energy Storage
any
Target: Grid Storage Provider

If you are a storage provider dealing with short battery lifespans and waste — this project developed a modular system designed for a second-life application and a lifetime of at least 300,000 km.

Frequently asked

Quick answers

How does this affect the cost of battery production?

Based on available project data, the project aims to improve cost-effectiveness through eco-design and the use of lightweight polymer-based materials, though specific price reductions are not quantified.

Can this be produced at an industrial scale?

The project focuses on modular and scalable systems, specifically implementing a large 35Ah semi-solid-state battery cell for the first time in EU research to move toward mass-market take-up.

What is the IP and licensing status?

Based on available project data, the project is in the development and validation phase; specific licensing terms for the wireless BMS or cell chemistry are not provided.

How is the battery integrated into the vehicle?

Integration is streamlined via a wireless Battery Management System (BMS) and printed sensors, which reduces wiring complexity and increases adaptability.

What is the expected timeline for deployment?

The project runs from 2023-06-01 to 2026-05-31, with validation under real-life conditions occurring within this period.

Consortium

Who built it

The consortium is heavily industry-driven with 11 industrial partners (58% of the group), including 7 SMEs. This high industrial ratio, combined with 5 research centers and 3 universities across 10 countries, suggests a strong focus on commercial viability and manufacturing rather than pure academic research.
