Description
This project aims to develop advanced anode materials for Li-ion batteries, enhancing fast-charging performance at a competitive price with low environmental impact. Proven in small Li-ion battery cells, the project will advance the Technology Readiness Level from 4 to 8 by testing in large cylindrical Li-ion battery cells, combining materials expertise with innovative cell design and engineering.
Description (French)
Ce projet vise à mettre au point des matériaux d’anode avancés pour les batteries Li-ion, afin d’améliorer les performances de charge rapide à un prix concurrentiel et avec un impact réduit sur l’environnement. Ayant fait ses preuves dans de petites cellules de batteries Li-ion, le projet fera passer le niveau de maturité technologique de 4 à 8 en testant de grandes cellules cylindriques de batteries Li-ion, en combinant l’expertise en matière de matériaux avec une conception et une ingénierie innovantes des cellules.
