Germany 3+2 - ATLAS-LIB - Accelerated Technologies for Lithium-ion Advancement through Synergistic Electrolyte-Battery Integration
FY 2025-26 · 2025-09-01
Summary
This Canada–Germany collaboration aims to accelerate the discovery of next-generation lithium-ion battery materials by integrating self-driving laboratories (SDLs), advanced diagnostics, and AI. The project focuses on optimizing cathode–electrolyte combinations to improve battery performance, safety, and longevity. Using rapid electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), high-throughput characterization, and AI-guided optimization, the team will develop and validate materials and methods for scalable production. Partners include Pulsenics, NRC, McMaster University, Preli GmbH, and Helmholtz-Institute Münster/FZJ.

Description (French)
Cette collaboration entre le Canada et l’Allemagne vise à accélérer la découverte de matériaux de nouvelle génération pour les batteries lithium-ion en intégrant des laboratoires autonomes (SDL), des diagnostics avancés et l’IA. Le projet se concentre sur l’optimisation des combinaisons cathode-électrolyte afin d’améliorer les performances, la sécurité et la longévité des batteries. À l’aide de la spectroscopie d’impédance électrochimique rapide (EIS), de la caractérisation à haut débit et de l’optimisation guidée par l’IA, l’équipe développera et validera des matériaux et des méthodes pour une production à grande échelle. Parmi les partenaires figurent Pulsenics, le CNRC, l’Université McMaster, Preli GmbH et l’Institut Helmholtz de Münster/FZJ.
