Eco-design and LCA studies have been carried out to address the need to enhance the sustainability of lithium-ion batteries by reducing its carbon footprint and other environmental impacts. The studies also address the use of critical raw material for batteries. Read More
The ASTRABAT project’s aim is to develop all-solid-state Li-ion batteries. The most critical new component here is hybrid solid electrolyte, which has to contain plasticizer – an ionic liquid. Within the project, the new set of ionic liquids were synthesised which improve electrolytes far above the state-of-the-art and are fluorine-free. Read More
The widespread use of Ni-rich active cathode materials for next-generation lithium-ion batteries is strongly connected to the development of high-voltage stable electrolyte materials, as a way to avoid fast aging of the battery. Fluoropolymers are well known for their high voltage stability but need to be engineered smartly to meet… Read More
The aim is for future lithium-based batteries to contain solid electrolytes (SEs) rather than highly flammable, toxic and potentially leaking liquid ones. The ASTRABAT approach pursues this goal by combining two different solid electrolytes, which are optimised for the application on the anode and on the cathode side of a… Read More
