Imagine a battery that is lighter than current ones but doesn't catch fire and is easy to recycle. Instead of relying on rare materials from other countries, this tech uses smarter chemistry and AI to make batteries safer and more efficient. It's like upgrading from a heavy, fragile battery to a tough, eco-friendly power pack that works for everything from planes to charging stations.
Europe relies heavily on imports from China for battery raw materials and recycling, while current Li-Ion batteries face safety risks like thermal runaway and insufficient energy density for heavy transport.
Three demonstrator battery types (compact, large-scale, and stationary) using LIC and SSC chemistries optimized by AI algorithms.
If you are an aircraft manufacturer dealing with heavy battery weights that limit flight range — this project developed lightweight, module-free battery systems that improve energy density. This allows for more efficient electric flight while ensuring safety against thermal runaway.
If you are a charging network operator dealing with grid overload during peak travel seasons — this project developed stationary battery storage systems. These act as buffers that can reduce the overall load on the energy grid by 72%.
If you are a car maker dealing with dependence on Chinese raw materials and recycling — this project developed recyclable battery designs using LIC and SSC chemistries. This reduces reliance on critical raw materials and supports a circular economy within Europe.
Based on available project data, specific cost figures or price points per kWh are not provided.
Yes, the project aims to bring systems to TRL5 and the consortium has direct capacity to scale results.
Based on available project data, the specific licensing terms for the AI optimization algorithms are not disclosed.
Yes, the project is designed to align with the European Green Deal and Fit For 55 initiatives by focusing on recyclable designs and avoiding critical raw materials.
The project period runs from 2023-05-01 to 2026-04-30, targeting a TRL5 level by the end of the term.
The consortium is heavily industry-weighted with 11 partners across 8 countries, featuring a 45% industry ratio (5 companies). The presence of 2 SMEs and a mix of 3 universities and 3 research centers suggests a strong pipeline from academic research to industrial application, specifically targeting the scaling of results for the European market.
