Imagine replacing the flammable liquid inside a battery with a solid material, making it safer and more powerful. This project uses a specialized laser to 'print' thin, precise layers of lithium and protective materials onto a foil. It's like using a high-tech spray paint to build a battery that lasts longer and doesn't catch fire.
Current EV batteries use flammable liquid electrolytes and have low energy density, limiting vehicle range and increasing safety risks.
A single-step vacuum manufacturing process using pulsed laser deposition for solid-state battery anodes and a 10Ah pouch cell prototype.
If you are an EV manufacturer dealing with limited driving range and battery safety concerns — this project developed a Gen 4b solid-state battery process that targets 10Ah pouch cells. This allows for higher energy density and removes flammable liquid electrolytes.
If you are a cell producer dealing with inefficient anode coating processes — this project developed a single-step vacuum process using pulsed laser deposition. This enables the safe and efficient manufacturing of lithium-metal anodes and protective layers.
If you are a storage provider dealing with the need for safer, high-capacity cells — this project developed a sulfide solid electrolyte (SSE) battery architecture. This increases safety and energy density compared to current liquid electrolyte cells.
Based on available project data, specific pricing is not provided, but the project has defined cost-related design targets based on battery electric vehicle requirements.
The project aims to move from coin cells to a pilot line proof-of-concept, specifically demonstrating 10Ah pouch cells at TRL 6.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not listed, but the technology is developed by a consortium of 15 partners including 4 industry members.
The anode is produced via a new single-step vacuum laser process, while the NMC cathode continues to use conventional wet processing techniques.
The project period runs from 2022-09-01 to 2026-08-31, with the TRL 6 demonstration as a final goal.
The consortium is well-balanced for technology transfer, consisting of 15 partners across 10 countries. With a 27% industry ratio (4 companies) and 5 SMEs, there is a strong bridge between the 11 research/university entities and commercial application, ensuring the TRL 6 target is grounded in industrial needs.
